Bizzarre Ape Study

I clicked on this because I thought maybe it was about a research study that my girlfriend once applied for...

In the study 'the bonobos [the species of ape] will be able to cook in their own kitchen, tap vending machines for snacks, go for walks in the woods and communicate with researchers through computer touchscreens.'

The article makes it sound like the study will be ongoing, lasting through generations of these animals, which have a life span of fifty years. That's just crazy.
