Chimps: Making Tools

Seems to be a reappearing theme in our Biology class: the glorious chimpanzee. I love it, I'm glad for the education because clearly they are our ancestors and have exemplified evolution on so many levels. This is further illustrated in the 'making of tools' as discussed in our article. These sorts of studies continue to support the genetic connection of chimps and human species, I am therefore not entirely surprised that this article suggests humans picked up these skills via chimps. Can we all say evolutionary development? We had to learn somewhere, from someone, something at some time... so why not the chimpanzee? I'm down.
