“Chimp and See”

A two-year biology study reveals that chimpanzees warn fellow chimps about unseen dangers to their well-being.  This finding probably explains the recent increase in anti-smoking ads.

On a basic instinctive level, the chimps seem to partly understand each other’s intentions.  It’s why they are better than humans at dodging hand-flung poop.

Of course, the best way for a chimp to get clear warning messages from another, pay him a couple of bananas in advance, for his trouble.
