As is true in humans, chimpanzees' general intelligence is correlated to their ability to exert self-control and delay gratification, according to new research. "The fact that this link between self-control and intelligence exists in species other than humans may demonstrate an evolutionary basis for the role that willpower plays in general intelligence," said Beran, lead author of the study. "Future research could clarify whether the relationship also exists in other primates and even non-primate species." Source and full article: Chimpanzee self-control is related to intelligence

Source and full article: Chimpanzee self-control is related to intelligence Recently, I've been reading of Schopenhauer's "Of Free Will" (about 1845), and in this work he said that intelligence depends on self-control by/with delay. Plants are living because of its reaction on some chafing. Animals can control themselves by not only reaction on chafing, but they can: to delay it; move to the source of chafing; some of them have memory to push the reaction after some time left. And yes, we should find the link. Now that link is found, it means that the evolution has another solid proof.

I don't want to call them our 'cousins'. I'd say it is quite weird. I have female cousin. I love her, and she isn't an ape.

LMAO... distant cousins... I think I posted a thread with that "distant cousins" keyword before. If I find it, I will bump it for you. Because it's not just personal opinion. Some scientists use that term too.

I think I posted a thread with that "distant cousins" keyword before. If I find it, I will bump it for you. Because it's not just personal opinion. Some scientists use that term too. I was joking... Sure, even trilobites are out brother (our cousins?). Atoms and molecules are, including electrons and their spins. The Sun, Moon and Venus our sisters. The water is our aunt, and plants are our grannies... The big happy family :( I was thinking, if apes were our real cousins, what would be with our present cousins? I mean if I'd met a girl and say to her: "Hi! I'm Eugene, would you like f*** with me?" She would suppose to answer me: "No way! You idiot! We're relatives! Relatives are not allowed to f*** with each other! Go and get you some apes!"... ...I think it would be reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally horrible. So, I'd like to call apes - "apes", and my cousin - "cousina".
