Does this mean that Planet of the Apes is becoming a prophecy?

It is television's fault.........too much violence in the media and now it is effecting the chimp population.  | | | |

Adrienne Zihlman, an anthropologist at the University of California at Santa Cruz, said the work supports other evidence that female chimps are more likely than males to use tools, are more proficient at it and are crucial to passing that cultural knowledge to others.
Either the theory of evolution is a farce, or that female tool use/proficiency gene seems to have been somewhat obscured over the eons...

Chimps using tools has been known for awhile. Chimps using tools as weapons to hunt is a whole other story. Many of our own ancestors didn't know how to use tools to hunt, they just used them to cut meat... This is pretty spectacular.

So now they want to take what they see today's chimps doing and make inferences that humans did things the same way? Who's to say that the chimps aren't just imitating native human hunters that they have seen using spears? Supposedly they've only seen ten different chimps use this technique... and it seems like they are all chimps in the same area...

This isn't news, I have real news: I discovered that Chimps will wear clothes and go to football games wearing black and gold in Iowa City.  However these are lower functioning primates...
