The Wonder of Animals: Great Apes

SYNOPSIS

Chris Packham explores how the brain of the great ape has evolved, revealing that different areas have been adapted over time by the animal's anatomy, ingenuity and sociability. He also examines how the ability to use two hands asymmetrically sets the great apes apart from other tool-using animals, and how social living is linked to the evolution of the amygdala in both apes and humans.
