Here is an amazing new find, reported by
National Geographic and in this
paper. Researchers found gorillas in the wild using sticks as
tools ! Here in an excerpt...
- Images show that one female gorilla was apparently using sticks to test the depth of water, another female made a bridge with stump detached from a bush to help her cross muddy ground, and, in another instance, a female was spotted using a stump, from a bush, as support as she dug for herbs.
And another one...
- Only wild chimps, orangutans and captive gorillas were previously known to use tools, suggesting that tool usage might predate the evolution of men.
