Many of us think that the human (sapiens) brain can outperform anything that a close relative like a chimpanzee can do.
This fascinating and illuminating video overturns this misconception:
One theory for this almost photographic memory chimpanzees display is that it’s an evolutionary trait which for example helps them remember the location of fruit and their order of ripening on a tree. Homo sapiens may have forfeited this capacity to allow more space within the brain for the areas involved with language communication.
For healthcare to improve will we need to accept we’re not as good as we think we are?
If so how can we do this?
What can be done to accommodate for our limitations?
