lol..Study: Chimpanzee is better at games than young kids You may think your kindergartener is pretty proficient at Mario or Angry Birds, but we’ve got some sobering news. Your kid can’t hold a candle to Cheetah. A study in the American Journal of Primatology finds that chimpanzees are actually better at games than the average 3-6 year old. Researchers in the study looked at how four adult chimps did against 12 human children, whose ages ranged from 3 to 12 years old. Four adult humans also took part in the study, which had them attempt to complete a complex maze in a virtual-reality style game. The chimpanzees and kids between 3 and 6 years old completed the maze in roughly the same amount of time. (Results were measured in terms of how much distance players traversed before completing the maze.) But, in news that makes The Planet of the Apes sound eerily close to reality, Panzee, a 22-year old chimp, beat the pants off of all 12 kids -- and the four adults -- on the more complex mazes, taking a significantly shorter route to the end. uk.games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/study-chimps-better-games-young-kids-182256928.htmlEven more embarrassing for our species? The humans tried to cheat.

The same technology that makes us smart could also make the Apes smart. Just think, when we start placing computer chips into Human brains to enhance Memory and thinking (processing), we will be able to do this to other animals as well.

Scary part is, these are the same 3-6 year olds that embarrass the adults at games. Yikes!!!

3 TO 12 Year old children have watched Telievision before no doubt, this should be taken into account Try bringing up both from birth under the same conditions, maybe they have already ! Are these the four human adults..?
