Tool_Use_Of_Chimpanzees

Tool Use Of Chimpanzees Tool use of Chimpanzees I chose this topic because of all of the living primates, I would say that chimpanzees are the closest to ourselves. They are the most advanced of the living primates and have the most extensive tool use. I also chose it because I think the tool use of primates is the easiest way to distinguish between their cultures. I believe that through generations of trial-and-error tool discovery, and passing down behaviors, they have developed more advanced cultures then any other species, next to humans. It is interesting to me to think that this is how the evolution of humans started out with just a few primitive tools used for nutrition, grooming, intimidation, and defense. In a few million years, they could be evolved to our level. With that, where might we be at that point. One of the most interesting aspects but less common of their tool use is their ability to defend themselves with clubs, missiles, or stones. Some use theses just as show but some really mean business. It has been observed that only savanna chimpanzees are capable of any really effectiveness and accuracy while forest chimps while poorly aimed attempts of throwing are only used for chimps, tools, tool, observed, sticks, believe, out, one, been, interesting, seems, males, ant, age, using, leaves, chimpanzees, because, ants, throwing, spears, dipping, cultures, clubs, another, yet, weapons, until, things, off, observers, observation, nuts, nests, length, important
