Nat's photo is of a Chimpanzee which is an ape.
Talk of eating monkey brains relates to monkeys, not apes.
But as SootyJ points out via the Attenborough clip, chimps are carnivore (or omnivores rather) just like humans. For a long time they were thought to be vegetarian.
Humans are closer related to Apes than to Monkeys.
{all as far as I know without going googling to check my facts}
I do not mean to be ape-ist but they all look the same to me.
