By genetic and immunological studies, it has been possible to date the divergence between its evolutionary line and that of Gorilla 7-8 million years ago and that of Homo about six million years ago. The two current species separated from a common ancestor about two million years ago, after being isolated from each other by the Congo River. Humans share 96% of the genome with the chimpanzee.
One of the most important discoveries was in October 1960 when Jane Goodall observed the use of tools among chimpanzees. Recent research indicates that the chimpanzee would have used stone tools for at least 4300 years. Long sticks have also been reported for digging in termites and small sticks that modify at one end to be able to remove and capture termites. Recently, the use of advanced tools such as spears that sharpen with the teeth and use them to thread Senegal gálagos in the hollows of the trees has been registered.18 Before the discovery of the use of tools by the chimpanzees was believed That human beings were the only ones who used them; Today it is known that several species also use them.
Funny monkey photo! LoL.
It only proves that all living creatures are intelligent in their own way. And, unfortunately, one thing is for sure: there are no creature more fierce and inhuman, than us, humans. As far as animals used tools to make their lives easier, humans invented killing and torturing devices in order to harm other species as well as their own.
Chimpanzee know good use of tools.
Interesting article and very useful as well
looks good i love evolution
Very nice 🙂
Tools and reasoning no longer constitute our dominance in the life chain. True intelligence is not in reasoning, (we can reason away some of the most atrocious deeds we commit). No, rather it is, reason, balanced with INSTINCT, steeped in experience. X/ post!
Very interesting!
Interesting post!
Regards friend, thanks
Lovely art you have here!
Thank so much my friend, greetings
You’re welcome.
I believe Gorillas show more affection towards each other than we humans do in the modern world. Tools have been used by them for many years and it’s really interesting what scientist discover every year.
The human action is very invasive and destructive unfortunately for all, greetings friend
Good
Regards friend, thanks
Great post, thanks for sharing!
Thank so much Eli, greetings
An amazing animal for sure. I watched in awe Jane Goodall’s shows on Nat Geo not too long ago. Absolutely amazing work she did. These are my favorite animals for sure.
That woman was veryyyyyyyyyy BIG , regards Carol
Yes indeed. We need more Jane Goodall’s! I would love to do that sort of work.
Thanks Oscar
A lot more research is needed science is constant one discovery doesn’t finish all of the truths. The scientific method is trial and error but thanks for this post it’s very interesting
I think the same, these absolute truths have always made me doubt, greetings Pamela
