7314 – Primatology

From the Monkey/SWAT news article earlier :

Truelove is spearheading the department’s request to purchase and train a capuchin monkey, considered the second smartest primate to the chimpanzee. The department is seeking about $100,000 in federal grant money to put the idea to use in Mesa SWAT operations.

Wait a minute… aren’t humans considered to be primates? The ape suborder Haplorrhini includes gibbons, orang-utans, gorillas, chimps and humans, I think.
