Yawning Said To Be Contagious Among Chimps
<snip>

TOKYO -- Think you don't have that much in common with a chimpanzee?

Think again.

Researchers in Japan say they've found chimps are even more like humans than previously thought.

Their studies show yawning is contagious among chimps. Researchers at the Primate Research Institute say that out of six chimps they studied, two clearly yawned after seeing tapes of other chimpanzees doing the same thing.

1. Every time I see or read about chimpanzees
I think, "there's my brothers"

Or is he still drawing stick figure men playing baseball in the margins?
