Are chimpanzees our early human ancestors? New study unveils tool-making similarities and human evolution
A study published in the Journal of Human Evolution found that chimpanzees select harder stones for nut-cracking tasks, similar to early human ancestors. This behavior suggests deep evolutionary origins in tool use. Younger chimps learn from older ones, highlighting knowledge transfer across generations. These findings enhance our understanding of human evolution and tool-making traditions.
