...how come a monkey can learn how to get a reward by completing a sequence of events on a computer (see link)

But a human can't seem to get the reward it wants so keeps pressing the wrong buttons anyway?? (see link)

Human beings did not evolve from monkeys. Human being and monkeys probably had a common ancestor at some point, but went separate ways a long, long time ago.
A monkey may be able to learn simple, non-human engineeried sequences as well as a human - like a sequence of lights. There could be exceptions. Especially if the monkey was rewarded with food, and the human just got bored.

Because while monkeys learn something useful, like how to recognize photos and put them in order, humans learn how to be dumb and dumber. It's not just a joke that we have coined the term "dumbing down." It's a fact!
Authoritarian types need a large mass of placid sheep at the bottom of the economic pyramid.

ROFL! Excellent! Maybe monkeys are superior and evolved from us! You never know...
After all, according to the gospel of Douglas Adams, we are only the 3rd most intelligent species on the planet. The mice are first and the dolphins 2nd and we are only the result of the the mice doing an experiment! LOL!

great question!
i can only surmise that humans seem to be de-evolving, while monkeys are still evolving...lol
what's funny is the way some people don't read the entire question before they try to answer it!

What do people who deny the existence of God, they come up with new bright ideas every day how and from what we evolved when the bible clearly says we were created by god in His image.

How many times do you people have to be told that we didn't evolve from monkeys. For pity's sake, get your facts right.

You've been watching too much "Planet of the Apes".
Try to sleep less, and get your job back at the pizza place.
Good luck.

Because those humans don't have faith in Jehallah.
They also don't seem to understand evolution...
