Modeling chimp behavior? Try using laws that govern matter Date: March 3, 2015 Source: University at Buffalo Summary: To simulate chimp behavior, scientists created a computer model based on ...

Scientists observed a wild chimp using a plastic bottle for masturbation, a first for such behavior with a man-made object.

In a first, Japanese scientists have used a computer programme and a touch screen device to encourage a paralysed chimpanzee to walk again, showing that euthanasia need not be the only option for ...

As habitats shrink, Newton’s Laws of Motion could help us predict how some animals will react, UB researchers say.

To simulate chimp behavior, the scientists created a computer model based on equations normally used to describe the movement of atoms and molecules in a confined space.
