Saturday, October 23, 2010. Are humans really the cleverest primates? Conservationists working with orang-outangs tell us they believe that they may be the most intelligent primate after humans.

They simply can't survive in that environment. Will th...

He's also doing it! And walks off in a sulk. My argument and disagreement is with the Chameleons Montessori because I maintain that th...
