Recent tests have shown that at six months a human baby can tell the difference between two Rhesus monkey faces just as well as two human ones. By twelve months this ability is gone, the baby can recognize the difference between the human ones, but the monkey faces all look the same. This is giving scientists an insight into how our brains are wired at birth with innate abilities, but our brain changes over time using a "use it or loose it" philosophy.
