Superquark - Season 19 Episode 7
At Superquark we return to explore, with the technique of espionage, the three colonies of penguins filmed at close range thanks to hidden cameras. Observing these colonies right at the moment of the hatching of the eggs, we better understand the efforts that the penguins must face to grow and defend the chicks. The curious story of a mechanic from Buenos Aires, who invented a device to deliver babies, which could replace the forceps and avoid many caesarean sections. Giovanni Carrada went to see. A group of Italian researchers has discovered how South American capuchins possess abilities comparable to those of African chimpanzees. The beginnings of the upright position, the enhancement of manual skills, and a sophisticated use of tools. Therefore, capuchins, like chimpanzees, would be a case of parallel convergence. That is, they would have developed in a completely independent way the characteristics fundamental to the appearance of the human species. By Marco Visalberghi.
