  5. 70%… but isn’t it 23 “pairs” of chromosomes, not 23 chromosomes?

  8. 100%, but I won’t tell what percentage was lucky guess.

    Jane Goodall and others have done a great job of telling their story. Apes and humans are fascinating and we have a lot to learn about both.

  10. 80% - woo-hoo for vague memories of primatology classes!

    (And the answer about whether apes use sentences is completely off-base, btw. A tiny number of scientists claim that a tiny number of apes can use a tiny number of words in a sort of kinda sentence-like way, ish. Nobody else really agrees.)

  11. 90%, missed ‘who hunts animals for food?’

  12. 90%! I missed the one about sentences - I’ve had trouble following Koko’s signed sentences…

  13. 100% and 50% of that was lucky guessing. Interesting about the hunting.

  14. 90%, missed the one about the brains. I think I was thinking just physical size as opposed to body to brain ratio…or something.

  15. 100%!
