|Detailsinput type=textarea=The National Institutes of Health (NIH) allocated $592,527 for research into understanding the behavior of chimpanzees throwing feces, which was conducted by William Hopkins at Emory University's Yerkes Primate Center. The study concluded that chimpanzees who are better at throwing objects, including feces, have more developed brains, particularly in areas associated with communication. Specifically, these chimpanzees showed more white matter in the homologue of Broca's area, which is linked to speech in humans. | |Detailsinput type=textarea=The National Institutes of Health (NIH) allocated $592,527 for research into understanding the behavior of chimpanzees throwing feces, which was conducted by William Hopkins at Emory University's Yerkes Primate Center.
