Do You want to talk Chimp?

The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is calling for volunteers to take part in a major new study into human and chimpanzee behaviours. Animal behaviour experts at ZSL are asking volunteers to 'talk chimp' in everyday life and see how primate patter can resolve workplace conflicts, express emotions and strengthen human bonds. The results of this major study will be published later in the year to see just how 'talking chimp' can help in everyday life.

They believe that "Talking like Chimps" is a viable solution to a number of human problems.

Instead of bitching about your terrifying boss behind their back, try showing them your fear by baring your teeth and using submissive body language such as lowering your head and crouching. [...] Organisational psychologist Professor Cary Cooper told BBC News Online that anyone willing to try it could learn a lot from our chimp cousins. "We should not be aggressive towards those in authority, as animals can be, but we should express our feelings."
