The ABC reports on an experiment done on apes. The movements of the apes' eyes were tracked while the apes were shown videos. In the videos were two people, one dressed as an ape ("King Kong") and one who appeared human:

In the video, the ape watches King Kong hide an object in one of two boxes.

When the person leaves, King Kong moves the object to a new location.

When the person returns to find the object, the apes looked intently at the original spot in anticipation of the person searching there.

    Nope, the hairless apes this election season that felt certain that the other side was thinking what they almost certainly weren't. Demonizing your opponent is good for ginning up support but it's absolutely horrible for understanding your opponent and therein lies the key to victory.
