That might have something to do with developmental differences in our respectively evolved brains - particularly since monkeys have much -much- better hand eye and manual dexterity than we do. They're faster problem solvers with better short term memory, as well.(June 29, 2017 at 11:21 am)Astreja Wrote: Simple.

This is an astonishing claim to make. I cannot trust a monkey to perform a heart surgery in my chest, even if it means that these monkeys are capable of selectively improving their fingers movements and become "more" reliable.
Living in the trees aint easy. If we -could- train a monkey to do heart surgery, they'd be a hell of alot better at it than we are.
