Baboon Vs. Chimpanzee

Q: Who is smarter, a Chimpanzee or a Baboon?
A: A Chimpanzee. That is why we have trained chimps that have gone into space (but they still have trouble with bulk mailing)

Q: Who is smarter, a group of Chimpanzees or a group of Baboons
A: The group of Baboons.
Chimps are under threat because chimp populations have trouble adapting to changes as humans encroach on them, but baboons are under threat because they have adapted too much and get threatened when they encroach on humans (note: Brief research relying heavily on the assertions of the scientist mentioned in this post).

I was listening to an interview of Howard Bloom talking about his book “The Global Brain” and a few things caught my attention. One is how much more effective you are when working as a well functioning team built on respect for one another’s gifts, and the other is how repeated failure causes mental apoptosis and destruction of an individual.

Lessons: Communicate, respect, and grow.
