...did Jane visit any local zoos? Plenty of observations there of Chimps flinging their doo-doo on spectators. Monkeys do that in labs too... I've been treated to the behavior :-) when helping with some software that was analyzing brain patterns in studying something called "oculomotor nystsagmus" [in the era of "minicomputers" - the PDP-8 and PDP-12... that was a long time ago, LOL !

OT Hawkmoon: <the inane and inaccurate opinions you spew with so many topics.> Translation: I say things you don't want to hear, and your reaction is highly emotional. You are trying to beat it to death, and you are trying to "rub it in." And you are 100% wrong. I make a statement about chimpanzees, and you bring up data from other species. If I make a statement about kangarooo behavior, are you going to bring up whale behavior to prove me wrong? What animals do in zoos is pathological behavior elicited by a pathological environment. Are you going to use the suicide rates at Guantanamo, as an example of how Muslims are prone to suicide? If you are going to try to disprove my original statement, try to stick to the species I made the statement about, and normal (= as observed in the wild) behavior. <Goodall loved Chimps.. She was biased towards them.> You coyly imply she is making up her published research. That's absurd. She is one of the top most respected primate researchers in the world. If you think she's lying, say so, and bring up data from other primate researchers to prove it. Or drop the slander. Better yet, just drop it entirely, before you dig a bigger hole for yourself.
