Bonobos communicate in ways more similar to ours than previously thought. Mélissa Berthet and her colleagues studied a group of these primates and found first ever proof of non-trivial compositionality in non-human vocalizations.

#Chimp wars! @RtLemoine &co show that wild #chimpanzees can detect their enemies from afar by exploiting hilltops in their topographic landscape, allowing them to assess the risk and adjust their movements accordingly #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/46XK7QV

See the moment a 28-year-old lab chimp glimpses the open sky for the 1st time
A heartwarming video shows a 28-year-old captive chimpanzee finally seeing the sky.

Interesting fact of the day: A chimpanzee is about 1.3x to 1.5x stronger than humans when it comes to pulling, jumping, and lifting with the legs in general. However when it comes to physical strength in terms of **pushing** humans are significantly stronger than chimps. Similarly while our legs arent as strong in terms of explosive power (jumping) we are many times better at endurance (using our leg muscles for longer). A human can cover a much farther distance on foot than a chimp could.

So the general factoids about chimps being stronger then us are very misleading. They are simply adapted to be stronger at the sorts of tasks they are suited for and weaker in others, while humans are stronger than a chimp in other ways.
