Re: Scientists explore whether some apes shake heads for “no” (May 5): So from the last sentence of this article, the most recent “edition” I received, most of the head shaking is not “negatory” (my neologism), but some scientists want to speculate that it might be, anyway, connected to “no no no!”

Very odd. But then, everything in my memory and surrounding world seems to be against logic and odds. So, I am just a befuddled or addle-pated old man of 60.
