What is the difference between children and chimpanzees? When it comes of heredity, people are much smarter than chimps, having genes that control the way they focus on a thing and take their focus off it.
A ¨test in which children were forced to choose rules or instructions for instance by choosing a different way when their route is blocked by roadworks. the test showed that children over the age of five could easily switch their focus from one task to another.Taylor, Luke. 2023. Children aged 5 are better at switching their attention than chimps. New Scientist 18 January.
