Susan Savage-Rumbaugh: Apes that write, start fires and play Pac-Man

I saw this video on Ted (available online or you can download the talks through iTunes) about Susan Savage-Rumbaugh's work with Bonobos. I have mixed feelings about studying these fascinating primates in a university setting instead of the wild but I'm for loving research that helps protect their species. This is not an animal cruelty video; it's about behavior and how closely the bonobo resemble humans.
