Would you ever believe Chimpanzees are smarter than humans? Well recently, japanese researchers conducted tests on chimpanzees and humans to test short term memories. Overall the chimps won. One of the tests showed arabic numerals 1-9 on a computer screen. when the numeral is pressed, white boxes show up on the screen and one must press the amount of boxes that the numeral stands for. The numbers only flashed for about seven-tenths of a second and the leading chimp got 80% correct while the humans got 40%. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20071203/D8TA8PA80.html
