一项关于乌干达黑猩猩的研究解释了青少年冒险行为的原因,研究表明年轻黑猩猩和人类青少年都倾向于冒险,研究人员建议增加儿童在公园玩耍的机会以促进运动技能发展。
Teenagers do crazy things. They take more risks. Some cause injuries. A study of chimpanzees may explain risky behaviour in children.
Researchers studied 100 chimpanzees in Uganda. The researchers looked at how the chimps moved through trees. The youngest chimps did more dangerous things.
Children and young chimpanzees take risks. However, parents stop children from doing risky things. Teenagers have more freedom. They want to try risky things.
Researchers want children to play more in parks. This will help children to develop motor skills. It will also make them stronger.
