    Actually, what happens with chimps is that the other members of the pack will kill and eat the hoarder. That’s a better moral for this story, the cover of Forbes should work like a hit-list

      Makes you wonder which is the more intelligent species when one justifies and normalizes inequality or the other who won’t stand for it.

        The problem with having our brains is we can make shit up and then pass it down from generation to generation without ever knowing how it started because we can make that up to.

        It’s really quite insane if you think about it too long.

        We need an immutable ledger of human experience rather than this fucked up history of make believe.

    To be fair, said monkey (and the subsequent study)/would likely be on the cover of Nature.

    Sidenote: That’s a chimp, not a monkey.
