Unless he can rub two sticks together to start a fire he’s just aping what humans have trained him to do.
It just so happens that humans learn by aping their parents. We’re not born with the ability to make fire any more than the ape is. The percentage of Americans who know how to start a fire from scratch, and have actually done so, is miniscule. I used to show bus loads of people daily how to start a fire with a steel and flint and with a bow and fireboard, how to find tinder and how to prepare charcloth. None of them had ever done it.
