The most intelligent animals on our planet - it apes . Sensational statement did not call for they are our closest relatives. But how to prove this point of view?
For example, a female orangutan, living among the people, began to wash clothes, but no one ever taught her how to do it. Question: she likes to do, like to imitate or question about high intelligence? Rather, it is simply imitation.
Gorillas - the largest primates. Like all apes they share with us developed intellect, long childhood, close family ties and, most importantly, the ability to learn and to influence the world around them. Of these apes, I will write in a future article. Believe me, some of the facts of their lives are staggering. In order not to miss these interesting information, be sure to subscribe to blog updates, and then the article will be sent to you directly by email.
And this incident occurred in the vicinity of the National Park of Congo. The female gorilla, apparently having decided to move a small pond, you first went into the water, then returned to the shore, found a long stick and use it to check the depth of the reservoir.
On the island of Borneo, where settled orangutans , local residents were able to see how these apes used for the benefit of observing the man himself. Apparently, he saw once, as people catch fish, orangutans decided to also "go fishing." Animals found abandoned gear ... Fish the bait, of course is not horrible, but with it came to get the fallen fruit from the trees and tangled in fishing line catch fishermen. This case is described in the book Smits "Thinkers jungle".
Based on current anthropological apes - it gibbons, orangutans, chimpanzees, gorillas and ... We, the people (and our direct ancestors). I'm not going to talk about a more narrow classification, it is better to show graphically the table, where we have only the most basic way of evolution.
Apes (hominoids)
(Hominids are known in modern life Sasquatch)
All apes have a number of features that distinguish them from other primates .
First, they have a brain larger in size, intelligence - is more developed. Next: the body is larger than that of relatives, no tail, no cheek pouches. The differences can be seen when observing the movement of hominoids trees. They do not run along the branches on all fours like monkeys, they move with a very strong hand, very flexible joints under the branches. And, finally, they have, as well as our four blood groups. And the closest we chimpanzee blood. Scientists have learned how to remove it from the antibodies to the most urgent cases help the person. A blood bonobos (pygmy chimpanzees) are fully in line with our and even does not require additional processing.
About uncommon mind can be judged by the ability of the animal to the training, and in their ability to find a way out of situations.
For example, a female orangutan, living among the people, began to wash clothes, but no one ever taught her how to do it. Question: she likes to do, like to imitate or question about high intelligence? Rather, it is simply imitation.
But one kind of representative chimpanzee to whom scientists tasked to get a banana hanging high on a rope, "developed a" plan for and cope with the task. She found an old box in the cage, he built one elevation, got on it and got a treat. This suggests a high level of intelligence. After all, chimpanzees had to think about the problem and use your imagination to visualize the possible solutions.
The next test checks the awareness of her appearance. Too many animals are not smart enough to recognize themselves in a mirror. Chimpanzees are not one of them. She carefully considers what he sees in the reflection, but how to prove that the female was found yourself? Scientists have come to the experiment. On the back of the animal quietly attached a very light, less noticeable thing. While chimpanzees do not know about it, is calm, but here it is applied to the mirror. She admires the fact that he sees in the reflection, turns the mirror and ... detects a foreign object on the back. Monkey immediately tries to remove it, but not with the reflection, but with his own spin.
All the great apes - very caring parents. They must not only take care of their kids, but many of their schooling. Their devotion and affection for these animals attract many tourists.
Gorillas - the largest primates. Like all apes they share with us developed intellect, long childhood, close family ties and, most importantly, the ability to learn and to influence the world around them. Of these apes, I will write in a future article. Believe me, some of the facts of their lives are staggering.

Aggression, tenderness, intelligence - all this goes back to our past, it is our history.
The article Animal rescuers forefoot with talked about how behaved gorilla, seeing a human baby in danger.
And this incident occurred in the vicinity of the National Park of Congo. The female gorilla, apparently having decided to move a small pond, you first went into the water, then returned to the shore, found a long stick and use it to check the depth of the reservoir.On the island of Borneo, where settled orangutans , local residents were able to see how these apes used for the benefit of observing the man himself. Apparently, he saw once, as people catch fish, orangutans decided to also "go fishing." Animals found abandoned gear ... Fish the bait, of course is not horrible, but with it came to get the fallen fruit from the trees and tangled in fishing line catch fishermen. This case is described in the book Smits "Thinkers jungle".
However, one of the most contentious issues is whether apes understand the language of the people. Female bonobos (view chimpanzees) accustomed to human language from childhood. Say it, of course, can not but be happy and unmistakably to the image corresponding to various concepts and even perform simple tasks.
Anthropoid intelligence surpasses all other animals.
Mind helping our closest relatives overcome life's difficulties.
Therefore, it is safe to say that the anthropoid apes - the most intelligent animals that inhabit this wonderful world .
