Who are the master story tellers of all time? The answer(s) might surprise you.

Havent listened to all of it but I have various points of criticism.

One in particular is that monkeys can have abstract money, if the story I remember is right. They made an experiment where they put up slot machines which would release treats if fed some kind of coin. The monkeys they used (some small species, not the more advanced apes) learned to value the coins by themselves, shown by the fact that the first thing they bought with it was sex. At which point the experimenters got scared and abandoned the whole project.
