The answer may lie in the group’s social structure, which allows these chimps to keep and eat anything they catch. In other regions, the alpha male is awarded all such catches.

So are they going to apply this female chimp behavior to humans somehow????

“Female Chimpanzees Use Tools, Including Spears, More Often Than Males”

Spears gave way to credit cards..

Shows that female chimps are inferior to male chimps. Males can use their physical strength...females must rely on tools - most likely invented by the male chimps. Just like humans.

Can't wait to hear what your wife has to say about your comment.

I'm thinking Cowboy Bob might be moving to the bunk house.;-)

And sandwich-making tools, too.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Too good to pass up!

[Kartographer]

Rather us men want to admit it or not women abetter than us at using tools and multitasking. I see it every morning on the commute to work, there is always at least one women driving while talking on the phone or texting (A couple I swear are doing both), shopping on line, putting on make-up, drinking coffee, smoking a e-cig, while doing their nails. I can’t think of any man that could do all that at the same time!

They say that if you have enough monkeys banging at enough keyboards, they will eventually produce the entire works of Shakespeare. As to Obama’s “Dreams of my Father”: 3 monkeys, 20 minutes.

[MrB]

OK... got a chuckle.

(Narrator on TV): “As the male chimpanzee lounges in his nest sipping an Old Milwaukee, the female busily goes about gathering food for the next meal, utilizing the usual sticks and rocks found at any local jungle hardware store”...

Bush babies seems an odd name for a favorite snack food, how is it advertised, “The only snack food that screams on it’s way down”?

[PROCON]

Interesting, I wonder what the Transgendered chimps used?

[Cowboy Bob]

Yeah, but is anything I wrote not true???

[RoosterRedux]

Nope.
