Lets train monkeys to do this task day in and day out for a month or two and then get random students to compete against them without them ever having practiced the test! 12/3/2007 2:06:57 PM |

I think the point of research would be that you don't stack it in either direction.
That said, I think 12 years of education and 4000 years of civilization probably gives us a little advantage beyond our simple genetics in a number ordering test (sudoku anyone?) 12/3/2007 2:12:13 PM |

So chimps are slightly better at remembering where numbers were on a screen
we could make chimps extinct tomorrow if we wanted to. Advantage - Humans 12/3/2007 2:14:27 PM |
