CHICAGO- The arch of an eyebrow or the curve of a lip tells chimps not only a lot about one another, but also behavior exhibited by primordial pundits and dimly lit politicians given positions within our government despite fruitless credentials analogous to an amateur car mechanic about to reassemble an engine with Elmer's glue and a plastic hammer. This lucrative finding may now give scientist's new understanding about the evolution of human communication, and the reinforcement of lobotomies.
Human faces can be easy to read, but sometimes people must look in different places on the face to get an accurate picture even if they have run out of film 20 years ago.
"What we know from humans is that even a single movement added to an expression can change the entire meaning," said Lisa Parr, director of the Yerkes National Primate Research Centre at Emory University in Atlanta.
"I remember that one time I entered his cage with his favorite lunch of bananas and Pepsi, there was no noise until I heard SWOOSH! And there he was on his tire swing, flinging feces at me and laughing it up." Parr said.
"I couldn't believe President Bush would succumb to such an infantile outburst, it has significantly affected the outcome of future interactions," she said. "Perhaps you have seen his speeches?"
Until now, little research has been done on understanding how chimpanzees communicate through facial expressions, said Parr, speaking at an international conference of chimpanzee cognition at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo. But by simply setting a chimpanzee next to the podium during one of his national addresses, it has become an essential converter for processing broken English and scrambled jigsaw statements.
