 | | Both men and their colleagues established laboratory studies of chimpanzees focused specifically on learning about the intellectual, particularly the problem-solving, abilities of chimpanzees. | | | Yerkes studied chimpanzees until World War II, while Köhler concluded five years of study and published his famous Mentality of Apes in 1925 (which is coincidentally when Yerkes began his analyses), eventually concluding that "chimpanzees manifest intelligent behavior of the general kind familiar in human beings... | | | The most progressive earlier studies on chimpanzees were spearheaded primarily by Wolfgang Köhler and Robert Yerkes, both of whom were renowned psychologists. |

| | Space research caused the chimpanzees pain and distress, and included procedures such as exposure to G forces, loss of consciousness in decompression chambers, spinning in giant centrifuges and the use of shock as punishment while training. | | | During the 1980s, chimpanzees were bred extensively for HIV research, only to be determined in the 1990s that they were not as useful a "model" as anticipated, because the animals do not develop the AIDS-related complex seen in humans. | | | Extrapolation of research results from chimpanzees to humans is already problematic, both scientifically and ethically; the numerous stressors associated with laboratory conditions only further compromise the validity of these results. |
