Summary:
Chimps have a more photographic memory than 12 university students. Students were to memorize the locations of number 1-9, which were at random locations on a computer screens each time. The numbers appeared on the screenfor 650, 430 or 210 milliseconds. The numbers then were replaced by blank white squares.
Questions:
- How is natural selection or evolution illustrated in this article? Monkeys have become alomost smarter than humans when it comes to memorizing things such as locations of numbers.
- How does this support Darwin original findings?
- List three things you learned from this article in your own words. Chimps have a more photographic memory. University students werent able to do this as fast as a chimp. Chimps were able to do this really really fast.
- What impact would the absence of this organism have on the ecosystem? Possibly, humans wouldnt be here today...
