Natural Selection Did What?!?

According to research at the University of Michigan "chimps may actually have adapted more to their environment as a result of natural selection. It underlines that evolution is not a matter of progress towards a goal, and that it is incorrect to assume that more intelligent species are 'more evolved'." Hmmmm. Very interesting. I'm not a Geneticist (I could have been one if it weren't for all those Biology classes) but I think I would like to read the study before saying these researchers are a bunch of monkeys. You can read the article here.
