All the more reason to kill off the rest of the primates, before Ape Law goes into effect.
"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

From the article:
"...They then had to touch the squares in order of the numbers they concealed, from lowest to highest. When the numbers were shown for just a fifth of a second - the blink of an eye - Ayumu got it right almost 90 per cent of the time..."

By "lowest to highest" do they mean lowest to highest positions of numbers as shapes on the screen or do they mean "1" is lower than "2"? If the latter, then the implication is that the Chimp knows both the positions and the meanings of the symbols.
