Brains …

I recently spent a little time around Chimpanzees. They are our closest living relatives. Our common ancestors were around approximately  6 million years ago. Some of their descendants took to the savanna, adopted an upright posture and developed language and large brains.

We are proud of our large brains. I’m happy to concede that Chimps can climb trees better than me but surely when it comes to mental abilities there is nothing that they could beat me at.

This came as a surprise …
