00:00When we talk about the smartest creature on earth after humans, science clearly points to one answer,
00:05the chimpanzee. Although there's no traditional IQ test for animals, the chimpanzee stands at the
00:11absolute peak of cognitive ability. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel and turn on the
00:16notification bell so you don't miss any new updates. Not only do they share over 98% of our
00:22DNA, but they also possess mind-blowing mental faculties. Chimps don't just use tools found in
00:28nature. They actually modify and craft them to retrieve food. Even more astonishing, studies
00:34from Kyoto University showed that young chimps can actually beat adult humans in rapid visual memory
00:40games, memorizing number sequences on a screen in a fraction of a second, combined with full
00:47self-awareness and complex problem-solving skills. The chimpanzee isn't just a smart animal. It's the
00:53mind closest to our own humanity.
