I think we should call them "Chumps".

Humonkey....I love it! Wished I had thought of that.
I think that an ape whose intellect is on par with humans should be given the same rights as any other person. Anyone who tries to patent and sell a sentient life-form would be a kind of slave-trader.

They showed modern chimps using rocks to crack open nuts. The kid chimps watched the older chimps to learn how to do it. You could see them sort of playing around with it, banging one rock on another one, missing the nut, glancing it. The narrator said it can take 6 years for a chimp to learn to do this.
I wondered then just how far removed we are from chimps.
Juding from my students I'd say we're not far removed from chimps. They just can't seem to get the hang of the coma. I teach English as a foreign language to advanced students at a snob university in Mexico. The semester started on the 15th of August. I know students hate learning about punctuation, so I spent five to ten minutes a day going over the basic uses of the coma. That's about seven or eight times (the class is three times a week). I may not be the best teacher in the world, but I thought maybe over a period of time they could absorb five or six basic rules. On Monday of this week I gave them a quiz. It was obviously they didn't have a clue. I guess it'd take six years.

Yes, they do, and the usage is similar to that of English.
