"It's possible sometimes to be too subtle in your analysis," Falkenburg said. "You're suggesting that these chimpanzees have a theology?"
"I'm suggesting that they may be in the process of evolving a religion," Yost replied.
Can it be?
Sometimes we lose our perspective with these animals, as Mick indicated, and we overestimate their intelligence; but just as often, I think, we underestimate them.
Jump high come again.
I wonder. Secret sacred talk? A chimpanzee theology? Belief in life after death? A religion?
