Something else going on with us besides being primates, we build machines for goodness sakes, cheers David

Interesting one David, but are we really cleverer than monkeys, I often wonder. Tom

It’s a completely different type of intelligence we possess Tom, but yeah point taken lol! Cheers David

An imagination has the ability to form mental images that are perceived, not relying on the senses. Monkeys still exist. A friend once told me to be sure to feed them peanuts or they'd throw their crap at you. Great Monoku, David.

Heya Lin, yes monkeys exist lol, but blind ones don’t last long in the wild, scientists believe that if we could somehow transport a human baby from 100000 years ago to the present, it could be educated and grow up to be a normal intelligent adult and fit right in, yes those monkeys certainly are very cheeky and clever indeed, but are far from human, cheers David

A genius who didn't eat monkey brains for research! The real question here is, does a blind man have visions? I'm not quite clear on that one.

Now I won’t allow my page to be turned into a zoo, whatever happened in the past happened, we move on, it’s what we do!

The chimpanzee is considered one of the most intelligent animals in the world.

I don’t believe their visions are in colour if blind from birth, but I’m pretty sure they can build a picture in their mind through touch, this one is all metaphorical using human ingenuity to set us apart from the monkeys, damn our intelligence gene where did it come from at all, not me for sure! Cheers David

Morning Victor, and thank you, this one is all about human intelligence, and ingenuity being completely different than anything other animals have, yes they all have brains, but the universe is measured through our eyes only, I believe we’ve outgrown evolution and more, cheers David
