Apes recognize friends they haven’t seen for decades, new research finds
Recent research has shown that apes possess the longest-lasting social memory ever observed in a non-human species: the ability to identify long-lost friends. According to a study published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers discovered that bonobos and chimpanzees could identify photographs of their former group members even after they had not seen them in person for more than 25 years. Old friends' photos elicited an even stronger reaction. The study was motivated by senior author Christopher Krupenye's experience working with apes and noticing that they remembered him even years after their last encounter. Krupenye is an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University who specializes in animal cognition. Krupenye and lead author Laura Lewis, a biological scientist, set out to test this.
Megalosaurus, the fossil that introduced dinosaurs to the world
Both physically and conceptually, dinosaurs are all around us. Even though the majority of these varied animals became extinct 66 million years ago, the prehistoric forebears of contemporary birds continue to be fascinating to scientists and popular culture. In animated series, colorful dinosaurs frolic around, while in "Jurassic Park," their more realistic counterparts present a terrifying "what if" scenario for life alongside the enormous animals. Every year, paleontologists discover scores of dinosaur species that were previously undiscovered, expanding our understanding of the prehistoric world. When trying to imagine long-extinct species by assembling their bones, scientists don't always get it right the first time. However, consider living in an era just 200 years ago Dino-mite! When massive fossilized bones were…
