What happened in Chimpanzee-land? Did the Black Monolith send forth a signal?
And why bush-babies?
Um… chimps have been known to use sticks for yummy-insect-gathering for a long time. This isn’t that much of a leap- “put a stick in an ant’s nest, lick off ants, repeat” just led to “poke stick in hole, hope it comes out with a tasty marmoset on it”.
Any kind of mental leap made by animals is noteworthy, surely?
Reminds me of a classic Onion article.
Wait a minute! Female primates are the problem solvers!?
