Look for the numbers!

How come brilliant Swedish health students know less of the world than chimpanzees? It’s easy: chimpanzees have no pre-conceived ideas of the world or of human beings! So… maybe we should look for the numbers to know the world better, we should look at people without our personal “filter” of what we think of “them” – and by doing so we could at least know the same as apes do!

This is a 2006 Ted Talk on Health and Economy, but if we were to do the same questions related to culture, would our answers be any different?
