Summary:

Young chimps play and develop much like a human child does. As the chimp grew up their social play changed in complexity and playmate choice just like a human. Both, human and chimp, use playful facial expressions to communicate with others. Much like a child or teenager chimps prefer their peers for playmates. This research comes from psychological research not ethological research.

Why I Chose this Article:

I chose this article because I thought it was interesting how much humans and chimps are the same. Also I chose it because it shows another way that we could be a lot alike. But I mostly picked it because I like Monkeys!!!! 🙂
