What's up with the last line of the article. And notice how proud she is of the female chimps.

Interesting article, but the author is a Kook.

Stabbing bush babies? Bah!


When chimps can order pizza, then I'll be impressed.

Back to the drawing board again in terms of trying to define how humans are special,” says Pruetz.

Umm- animals, which, after all, monkeys are, are not held responsible morally for their actions.

Humans, on the other hand, knowingly choose their behavior, and therefore are presumed to be responsible for that behavior.

This is something that has to be studied??

This is a much less awful use of tools than chimps previously demonstrated. The other tool use observed in chimps is using sticks to beat female chimps.

Chimps skewering cute little Bushbabies?What would PETA say?

[rmlew]

1. Did the Savannah Chimps come up with the behavior, or are their Africans doing similar activities? Apes ape behavior!
2. When we find another animal that can use fire, I'll take notice.
3. These ladies may want to devlop into lucy, but they are 4 million years late.
