Because we have tech to offload memory and use a lot of our mental processing power on language and other persistent constructs.

Basically a monkey has a clean boot to the command line while humans have an anti-virus software, steam, some chat program you never quite got rid of, and three browser windows open with 7 tabs.

Memory is a meme. Creativity is what makes us human.

The same reason children do: less stuff in the head, less distructing noise.
As one french philosopher said, great memory excludes great mind.

They don't, humans are much better but you need to train your memory a bit before reaching chimp level, and then you can far surpass chimps. With enough training you might even get as good as these guys:

while the smartest humans can outperform the smartest chimps, you seem to be ignoring the fact that the average chimp outperforms the average human

Because the research is fraudulent and abused that people have worse peripheral vision than apes. The device was constructed such that people were unable to see the numbers well enough to tell them apart, but the apes could still see them.

Humans learn to use things like pneumonics, the chimps seem to be able to excel due to their working memory alone.
