The Wonder of Animals
Great Apes
Season 1 Episode 7 of 12
Chris Packham explores how the brain of the great ape has evolved, revealing that different areas have been adapted over time by the animal's anatomy, ingenuity and sociability. He also examines how the ability to use two hands asymmetrically sets the great apes apart from other tool-using animals, and how social living is linked to the evolution of the amygdala in both apes and humans
The Wonder of Animals airs on BBC One Wales at 2:20 PM, Saturday 25 July. (Subtitles, repeat.)
