Great apes: what we know about their cognition, cooperation and curiosity after two decades of research

After two decades of dedicated research, scientists have amassed a comprehensive database on great ape cognition, cooperation, and curiosity. This resource could revolutionize our understanding of their intelligence and social behaviors, offering insights into their problem-solving skills and social interactions. With implications for conservation efforts and ethical treatment, this database is crucial for bridging the gap between human and ape intelligence studies. It highlights the importance of continued research into these complex animals and their potential for advanced social structures and cognitive abilities.
