Research has shown that small children are cleverer than monkeys
The research conducted by scientists from anthropological institute of Leipzig has shown, that by 2 years children have better social skills in comparison with primates.
For 2 weeks scientists have observed 105 children, 106 chimpanzee-cubs and 32 orangutangs.
In the course of tests children have shown propensity to learning and faster mastered the actions shown to them.
In one of experiments it has been shown, how to open a plastic box with a delicacy or a toy.
Children quickly mastered a way as against to the monkeys which either broke the box, or tried to get up to contents with the help of teeth.
Scientists consider that conclusions of the research will throw the light on the evolution of human thinking.
It is necessary to note that the size of a human brain 3 times exceeds size of a primacy brain.
