Are Girls Smarter?

Think girls learn faster than boys? You may be right, at least when it comes to young chimpanzees using tools.

Experts discovered that female chimps in Tanzania, East Africa, use sticks to dig up tasty termites two years earlier than males. And it doesn't take a genius to figure out why.

Young females watched their moms collect bugs, while the males turned somersaults and climbed trees.

But young male chimps may hunt and throw sooner than females. Sound familiar? Yep, human girls frequently learn to write and draw first, but boys often run and toss balls earlier than girls. Guess you'd call that "going ape"!

And just in case you still do not believe that chimps are highly intelligent, check out this video clip of a chimp who is able to do karate!
