00:15

This is Inuyama, Japan,

00:17

a historic city

00:19

home to Japan's oldest original wooden castle.

00:22

It is also home to Kyoto University's

00:25

Primate Research Institute.

00:32

Here, a group of chimpanzees have been trained

00:35

to play a game that exposes something shocking

00:39

about their memories.

00:41

This is going to blow your mind.

00:42

Here is how it works.

00:44

Take a look at these numbers.

00:46

1, 2, 3.

00:48

Remember where they are,

00:49

because they're about to disappear.

00:52

Can you point to where each number used to be

00:54

in numerical order?

00:56

Probably. It's pretty easy.

00:57

1, 2, 3.

00:59

But what if we make it harder?

01:01

Get ready to point to where each number was in order...

01:05

now.

01:06

If you feel like you didn't have enough time

01:08

to memorize the screen, that's fine.

01:10

It's nothing to be ashamed of.

01:12

Or is it?

01:14

Here is a chimpanzee taking exactly that long

01:17

to memorize the same arrangement.

01:20

Nailed it.

01:22

Each of these puzzles is completely new

01:24

to the chimpanzee,

01:26

but just a glance is all it needs

01:28

to completely capture all the numbers.

01:31

How can a chimpanzee's memory

01:34

be so much better than ours?

01:35

Well, one theory is that we humans

01:38

are worse at this task because we can talk.

01:57

What makes humans different from other animals?

02:01

Well, one thing is language.

02:03

We have the cognitive ability

02:06

to communicate not just about what's happening now,

02:08

but also about what did happen, and what could happen.

02:14

We can tell stories, and it's awesome.

02:16

But if language is so good,

02:19

why didn't any other animal develop it like we did?

02:25

A good approach to this question

02:27

is one that looks at how we are different

02:28

from those who were almost us.

02:31

Around 7 million years ago,

02:33

there were no chimpanzees and there were no humans.

02:36

But there were CHLCAs,

02:39

an acronym which stands for

02:40

"Chimpanzee-Human Last Common Ancestor."

02:43

Like us, CHLCAs didn't have

02:45

great natural offenses or defenses,

02:50

protective shells or claws, fangs or venom.

02:53

So living in the safety of the trees was great.

02:56

Those who stayed became the chimps we know today.

03:00

But for reasons we're still not quite sure of,

03:02

some of the CHLCAs decided to venture down to the savanna.

03:06

Without appropriate physical abilities,

03:09

things like cooperation, imagining new strategies,

03:13

and the assigning of roles were necessary for survival,

03:17

all of which are easier if you have

03:19

a rich collection of symbols

03:20

that can refer to things across time:

03:23

language.

03:25

Many different types of creatures emerged

03:27

with varying adaptations.

03:29

But today, only one member of the family remains.

03:31

Us.

03:33

Language as we know it may have been one of the strategies

03:36

that kept us alive in the savanna.

03:39

But where did it move in?

03:42

The brains of those who developed language

03:44

and those who didn't aren't totally different.

03:47

A brand-new brain structure didn't just pop into existence.

03:51

Instead, anatomy used for other tasks

03:54

must have been sacrificed.

03:57

And as it turns out, for beautiful reasons,

04:00

detailed short-term memory
