The first episode of SuperQuark opens with a beautiful BBC documentary that tells of a journey into the intelligence of our closest relatives in nature: primates. They represent an incredibly large family, and to observe them we will go to various parts of the world. In India, Madagascar, Borneo, even Peru. From the tiny Pygmy monkey, no bigger than a tennis ball, to the large Technicolor mandrill. For the first time we will see them all together, in a sort of parade, to discover how different but at the same time similar they are. Orangutans, bonobos, macaques will show not only their talents but also how they know how to adapt to new situations. There are now so many drones, the pilots stay on the ground and fly these reconnaissance planes to look for smugglers and drug traffickers. But would you have ever thought that someone is trying to send civilian passengers into flight without a pilot too?
