Possible Evidence that Chimpanzees Mourn Their Dead!


Dr Palmer,
 We were in class and someone posted this on facebook as we were watching the movie on apes self recognition and i thought you may find it interesting. Although I know i should be on facebook it was just a quick glimpse.

  1. Okay... Where do I begin with this one?

    1.) No creeping on Facebook in class.
    2.) Don't get me wrong, this article made me sad. But isn't the author anthropomorphizing? How do we know the chimpanzees were not just curious? How could we know if these animals really have human-like emotions?
