The experiments show that chimpanzees spontaneously recognize that when they are faced with a problem they cannot solve on their own they need to recruit help.

Dogs have a talent for reading social cues in a very sophisticated way.

So what we see in the wild may be really sophisticated.

I am going to be a rookie myself when I first step out there on Sept. 10. You can't simulate what a game situation is going to be like, you can't simulate the nervous feeling, everything is just different on Saturdays.

It just happens that because they're all doing it at the same time, it helps them catch the monkey. You really need an experiment to get at what they are doing.

They know when they need help.

It looks like dogs really do understand what we are trying to tell them, they are thinking about what we want, and they understand that we are trying to communicate.

They work together to chase monkeys, and they're quite effective when they chase them together.

Wolves have bigger brains than dogs, so it was thought the wolves would do better. And chimpanzees are primates, closer to humans, so it was thought they would do better.
