A new study indicated that chimpanzees may recognize other animals that they haven't seen in over 25 years. Researchers studied the way apes reacted to old friends.
The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences peer-reviewed journal. Lead author Dr. Laura Lewis from the University of California, Berkeley told SWNS that the animals are actually very similar to humans.

"We tend to think about great apes as quite different from ourselves, but we have really seen these animals as possessing cognitive mechanisms that are very similar to our own, including memory," she said.
