Fascinating video showing how monkeys have learned over time to ripen pine nuts, and have fashioned tools to open them when they are ready to be eaten, in this clip from BBC show Clever Monkeys.

  • When they learn to use that rock to smash another monkeys skull they will be as clever as us !!

  • Present day apes are our relatives, not ancestors.

    The other members of our family the "Hominidae", (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans) are close relatives, but humans did not evolve from these apes: instead these apes share a common ancestor with modern humans.

    The most recent common ancestor of the Hominidae lived some 13 million years ago

    Full genome sequencing has shown that we have had 6.5 million years of separate evolution from our closest relative in the Hominidae, the chimpanzee.

    instead of fighting with themselves, they band together (but no all monkeys)

  • As soon as the monkeys discover how to extract the oil from the palm nuts, the US air force will deem them terrorists, drop a daisy-cutter, and take it off them... :)
