>but human thought itself is good at some things, bad at others

imagine this: a chimpanzee has muchbetter short term memory than humans but fails in long term memory

chimp sees some pattern, remembers it for 5 minutes altough watched it only for mere seconds

a human will almost certainly fail the same test

but a human can memorize a similar thing when looking at it for a much longer time and then also remember it for years if he so wishes (it needs to be revisited from time time)

a chimp starts at tabula rasa state soon after

a chimp can be encouraged to do these tests with food reward, otherwise they are unlikely to care
