Look out, gamers: chimpanzees might be coming for your high scores. Panzee, a 22-year-old female chimp, significantly outperformed 12 children and 4 adults on a complex maze in a virtual-reality computer game.

took a significantly shorter route to the prize than the kids – and even the adults.

So, will humans one day be fending off Panzee in Skyrim? “If you gave a chimp who liked doing the task enough time, maybe,” said Dolins. “They’re curious, and intrinsically motivated to find more information about the world.”

be warned. a couple million years and Panzee will be outperforming YOU in your favorite computer game, which by then will be re-released for the thousandth time AND remastered into a nasal spray.

oh yeah, and you will be dead.
