128. If this is true why didn't they figure it out before this?
Scientists have been studying chimpanzees extensively for many many years now, do you really think this is the first time they have given the monkeys toys to play with and noticed their preferences? This is a very basic study of behavior, there is no doubt scientists have studied chimpanzees behavior very extensively and if there was a strong correlation between male and female chimpanzees toy preferences and gender it seems like that would have been figured out hundreds of years ago it is such basic research.
Sorry, but I don't buy that a very basic and statistically insignificant study like this outweighs the fact that this basic information has never been discovered before despite literally thousands of years in which humans have been observing chimpanzees.
