Chimps do think like humans!
A new study reveals that chimpanzees may think far more like humans than we ever realized. 🧠🐒
The study can be found here :
https://www.sciencealert.com/chimps-can-revise-their-beliefs-when-shown-new-evidence-study-finds
It seems amazing but we should have expected long ago. Only our ignorance and prejudice made us no believe. All primates are amazing! All animals, all lives are majestic!!
Researchers from UC Berkeley and Utrecht University discovered that chimps can reconsider their decisions when presented with stronger evidence, rather than stubbornly sticking to their first choice. This ability to rethink and adapt — once thought uniquely human — suggests a deeper level of cognitive flexibility in our closest relatives.
At the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda, scientists tested chimps by hiding food in two boxes. When given a clearer clue later on, many chimps changed their choice, showing they could weigh new information against earlier guesses. Computational models confirmed that they were evaluating the strength of the evidence, not just reacting instinctively.

What would YOU do if you woke up like this?
Dolph Volker was just trying to escape the heat at a wildlife sanctuary in South Africa. Found a tree, closed his eyes, figured he'd rest for a minute.
Then he felt something warm next to him, Breathing.
He opened his eyes to find a wild cheetah curled up against him like they were old friends.
Most people would panic. But Dolph stayed calm...

Disney's CEO is in a "no-win" situation
CNN's media critic, Brian Stelter, says Disney's CEO is in a "no-win" situation because he has to choose between Trump and his company's reputation.
Think about that -- the notion that choosing integrity means losing. Think about what it says about American media in these grotesque times.
Making the honorable choice might mean losing some money. But having history remember you as a quisling to fascists and a traitor to human rights? That's a vastly greater defeat.
