...three groups performed about equally well on "physical learning" - locating hidden objects, figuring out the source of a noise, understanding the concepts of more and less, using a stick to get something that's out of reach. And indeed, the kids were of an age - 2 1/2 years old - where it's widely known that they do perform about as well as chimps in such tests. So for example, the scientists would hide a treat of some kind - a toy, or some food - behind a box, while the test subjects looked on. The kids, chimps and orangs would have...

The pair of black Labradors, who arrived in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur in March, are the first dogs specifically trained to sniff out DVDs and, thus, lead investigators to any hidden caches of pirated material...

But while HMNS curators celebrate Lucy's arrival, some famed paleontologists are grumbling that the rare opportunity simply isn't worth the risk or the hassle...
