With sponsorship from the National Geographic Society and New York's Wildlife Conservation Society, a team of researchers went to the Goualougo Triangle, a remote forest in the Republic of Congo.
There, they set up remote-controlled video cameras and left them running for six months.
The chimps learned to ignore them — and went on to the much more interesting business of catching termites for lunch.

"To see it — the chimps using tools — and then to see it so clearly, it was a window into their lives that we had thought an awful lot about," Morgan said by satellite telephone. "But to be able to see it and to describe it and understand it a little bit better was amazing."

So, I guess a chimp could be President, huh? Or did they just find the intelligent side of the Bush family?
