    I didn’t read the articles but unless the chimps are in the wild it doesn’t count.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    Sprinkles are for winners.

    Then unless they haven’t observed humans while in the wild that is interesting. Could use of fire be close? Imagine chimps running around setting stuff alight for shits and giggles.

    They are still limited. Don’t expect to see cave paintings or rudimentary jewelry anytime soon but apparently they’ve been using stone tools for thousands of years.

    Yeah. As a matter of fact, they’re practically indistinguishable from the people of one particular state. I won’t mention any names, but John Denver sang about it fondly (and I’m not talking about Colorado).
