Pennie Latin visits the Living Links Centre for the study of primates at Edinburgh Zoo.

Pennie Latin explores the science behind everyday experiences. She visits the Living Links Centre at Edinburgh Zoo to discover why humans are so different from other primates.

It's tempting to draw lots of parallels between us and our closest relatives in the primate world but the bottom line is that whilst we humans have evolved over the centuries, monkeys and chimpanzees haven't.

In Brainwaves, Pennie Latin visits The Living Links Centre for the study of primates at Edinburgh Zoo to find out why our cultures and traditions are just so different. Professor Andy Whiten, Lewis Dean and Lara Wood of St Andrews university demonstrate to Pennie what the capuchin and squirrel monkeys at the Living Links field station are capable of.
