How clever are apes? This question is as ancient as primatology itself. But now two scientists have apparently made a revolutionary discovery: in Senegal they found what seems to be sharpened sticks made by chimpanzees. Do chimps hunt with spears? “Ape Genius” poses this question and accompanies the scholars on their research. Their work allows totally new insights into the genesis of human intelligence. Nominated for an Emmy Award in 2009.
