Impressive. However, call me when they can speak English, drive a car while obeying all traffic laws, wire and plumb a house to code, do their taxes and resist the urge to fling their poo when their instincts tell them otherwise.

Regarding that last requirement. Does that mean you don't consider semi's domesticated?

Hmmm how many people can do what you are asking?

Me. 100 percent. As Robert Heinlein said, a man should be able to build a house, kill an enemy, design a spaceship, love a woman, deliver a baby and raise a child. Specialization is for ants.
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that Robert Heinlein's list seems to go from easiest to hardest?

I was referring to human capability to learn such activities, but I realize many can’t do it all. That chimp really is impressive, but the implication that chimps can do everything better than humans (I don’t remember the exact comment) is ridiculous.

Edit: never mind. I read it wrong.

:) I think chimps are evolving and humans devolving!
