OK, Some Humans

Toddler study proves humans are smarter than apes
When presented with a tube containing food or a toy, two-and-a-half-year-olds followed an experimenter's example to retrieve the prize, while the apes put all their energy towards simply biting or breaking the tube.
This proves nothing. Nothing!

A trick question? A wry comment in the form of a rhetorical question. I suppose it doesn't work if you don't identify with the chimp and never went through a Pink Floyd period.
