Quiz: Was this painting made by a human artist or ape?

I got 83%.

The first one made by the non-homo-sapiens-ape (saying humans are also apes makes the differentiation difficult…) is the one that tripped me up. Besides that, I want to say that in this case I have a strong preference for the art made by the apes (and then I mean the ones that could not name their art using the same language I’m using to convey these thoughts to you now).

Things that I considered as differentiators but could not use because of some edge cases:

  • Being able to hold a brush and paint using your feet. (some humans do this)
  • Being naked, or overly hairy. (I’m sure some apes got to wear a apron and a baret and some humans are very hairy indeed)
  • Using language (some apes know some sign language)

We are not that different from them at all…
