Here is another example of how primates can be trained to follow a human-like behaviour. I just watched a BBC video showing a young chimpanzee, Dodo, feed a tiger cub from a bottle of milk. He has been doing so for a year. I always find animal behaviour fascinating (not least because it can make us aware of ourselves).

The principle of dynamic programming
max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]
The bottom line

So sweet,both of them :) Also interesting what you told me about bonobos and later on what I read about them. Fascinating information (for me,at this stage of my knowledge...-well,better later than never,right? )
