I'll be off blogging duty for a couple days while I head out to Wisconsin to give a couple talks at UW. I'll be talking about what chimp DNA can tell us about ourselves. I wrote about the topic last year for Natural History, but I'll be focusing on some newer work that has come out since then. I hope any Wisconsinites (sp?) reading this can come.
On my return later this week, I'll put up a post about some of the most interesting new research about the chimp within.

There is a deep hole in a tree trunk and within is a tasty dollop of sweet, nutritious honey. It's a worthwhile prize for any animal skilled or clever enough to reach it, and chimpanzees certainly have both of these qualities.
Take a look at this video from last night's episode of Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show."
