Self-Recognition in Apes
Here is an awesome NGC video I saw a while back. I dug it up because it goes along nicely with our ongoing conversation on Medical Research in Animal Models, including discussions of self-awareness in animals.
Be sure to check out the sequence starting at 1:50, which shows the different responses between monkeys, apes, and humans in the mirror-test.
