In writing a soapbox for the debate spot, I decided instead to make a new spot to fit my soapbox (which is still incomplete).

That soapbox was on the cognitive abilities of chimpanzees or, that is to say, exactly how smart ARE they? It's a subject that fascinates me about the little critters. And then, of course, there's the whole evolution thing which tends to get everybody's knickers in a twist.

So how about skippin' on over to the link and join in on the fun of learning about these adorable and fascinating creatures that are much more like us than you think.
