Don't know something? Apes can tell
Published Feb 3, 2025
To get treats, apes eagerly pointed them out to humans who didn’t know where they were, a seemingly simple experiment that demonstrated for the first time that apes will communicate unknown information in the name of teamwork. The study also provides the clearest evidence to date that apes can intuit another’s ignorance, an ability thought to be uniquely human.
Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, wearing a blue shirt and black athletic pants, performs a deadlift exercise using the advanced Resistive Exercise Device (aRED) aboard the International Space Station. The aRED machine, equipped with metal bars and vacuum cylinders, provides resistance training to help astronauts maintain muscle and bone strength in microgravity. The surrounding area is filled with white padded walls, equipment, and storage bags, characteristic of the ISS interior.
