WASHINGTON (AP) -- Chimpanzees may have been using stone "hammers" as long as 4,300 years ago, an international research team, led by archaeologist Julio Mercader of the University of Calgary, Canada, said Monday.
The researchers uncovered the hammers, in the West African country Ivory Coast. It would be the earliest known use of tools by chimpanzees.
Simply. Fucking. Amazing.
4,300 years ago and an everyday chimpanzee was smarter and better able to take care of itself without having to resort to handouts, steal from it's neighbors, rob the local liquor store, or pimp out it's woman to live, than todays modern porch monkeys.
What the fuck went wrong?
