“The chimpanzee has a very special cognitive capability of immediately
memorizing things in front of him. This does not mean chimpanzees are
better than us in all the means of cognition. What we have to know is,
let’s say farewell to human/animal dichotomy. We share some things.
And humans and chimpanzees are very similar, but different.” – Tetsuro
Matsuzawa

Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute in Japan talked
with EarthSky’s Jorge Salazar about the intelligence of chimpanzees.
His studies show that chimps excel in short- term memory tests, and
more.
