Seems to me the test is culturally biased. Wouldn't it be natural for pack hunting predators like hyenas to cooperate in pulling down prey by tugging in unison, and but a short ruminative step to pulling on ropes in unison?

If I were a chimp, I would get my civil rights lawyer after this biased test.
