Is your toddler really smarter than a chimpanzee?

Summary: 
The article tells us that we aren't the unic specie that learns in a large time, the chimpanzees does it too. We learn a lot of things that seems difficult but there are really simple, there are cognitive abilities that has got a great many species. 
While time pass, our abilities are more complex that the chimpanzees one, of course but, in a battle of  wits, who will win it?
All of yours are thinking that it will be win by a person but that's not true at all, it depends from the battle. In reality, when it comes to cognitive development, the divide between infant chimpanzees and infant humans is often small. A trained animal should can distinguish about a Picasso an a Monet.
Many skills that we consider complex are in fact the result of relatively simple cognitive abilities shared by a great many species.

Critical appraisal:
I think that that's not true at all. Of course that a chimpanzee can be so clever but i think that human are more intelligent that chimpanzees could ever be because, we are the most developed specie that have ever been in the Earth. We create societies, cars, houses, trains... and we were as stupid than chimpanzees a thousand years ago so we developed because we're cleverly than they in all directions.

GLOSSARY:
Cognitive abilities: are brain-based skills we need to carry out any task from the sim­plest to the most com­plex.
Startlingly: To cause to make a quick involuntary movement or start.
