(Classic Rock) Peter Gabriel is working on a project to discover if monkeys can communicate via video conferencing. He's been involved with the Interspecies Internet initiative for a number of years along with US internet pioneer Vint Cerf and Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Neil Gershenfeld.

And the former Genesis frontman is planning on running the experiment in conjunction with ape rescue centre Monkey World, which is based in Dorset, UK. Gabriel tells Yahoo: "The idea is to extend a big video network that already exists in labs at MIT, so that different species, including our own, have a chance to communicate. I am also interested in how they would use the internet to communicate."

Similar experiments have been carried out in the past - and Dr Bridget Waller, director of the Centre For Comparative And Evolutionary Biology At The University of Portsmouth, says positive results could be hard to come by. Read more here.
