Chimps are people too
Description
Observed chimpanzee behaviour shows how chimp societies have recognisable human parallels. Psychological experiments show how chimps think like us. Indeed, recent research suggests that they should be reclassified under the human genus. That classification could have an enormous impact: no more experiments on chimps; no chimps in zoos; no exploitation of any kind. It could even imply that chimps should have human rights. The closer research suggests that we are to each other, the bigger our moral dilemma becomes. Horizon looks at the science and the issues surrounding this controversial revelation.
