An Interesting article on "understanding" animals

This particular article caught my attention because it goes into somewhat scientific details on examining chimpanzees. It also somewhat anthropomorphizes the chimpanzees in assuming that the researchers know what they are thinking, and why they are doing what they do. However, the assessments are very detailed and strive to examine what the chimpanzee may really truly be feeling or thinking.
