“You **** dirty ape.” The original POTA is my favorite sci-fi movie, and that scene (and the “there can’t be, I’m sorry” scene, as well as the classic ending, and Heston’s performance, it’s unbeatable. The remake was as much of a disappointment as I’d suspected it would be.
they are really smart- also smart are starlings- they can even talk i guess- or mimic sounds
People probably learned to swear when they broke a nice point that was near completion. 🤣
Your relatives sir. Not mine.
Its another attempt by liberals to wish away the existence of God.
They have been doing this since the communists taught them - "Tell a Lie Often Enough That It Seems Like The Truth".
Monkeys learning to use tools.

So, does that mean corvids, elephants, monkeys, chimps, and humans all have a common, tool using ancestor?
Sea otters? Octopus?
How far back to get to Tool User Prime all descended from?
“Saw where a crow that in order to get a drink of water from a narrow necked bottle would drop pebbles into the bottle until the water level would rise to where it could get to the water.”
I’m pretty sure numerous politicians couldn’t do that.
“The ones I’ve seen in pictures are usually on the dull side when it comes to color and not quite as refined in shape.”
They were using low quality lathes.

Primates will evolve into the next stone age and eventually over a new millenium, take our place.
I’m afraid that my point wasn’t clear enough.
I care not about the monkeys, nor the tools.
The point is that this is a RARE example of science admitting it was wrong, to the betterment of science.
In gross contrast to all the other examples about which many of us have posted prior.

Seems I’m hooked on used
DVD’s at a buck or so and it keeps me off broadcast or Cable trash.
“People were not happy with monkeys being able to create those artifacts,” she added. “And somewhere in the records of macaque and early hominid tools, there must be a difference. But right now, the diagnostic criteria we’re using can’t find one.”"Science!"
Mea culpa. In contrast to 'consensus', that's science.

The use of stone tools (and bone tools) by earlier humans is associated with butchering sites, rubbish tips, post holes, burials, villages, and various other things not left behind by animals.
Do corvids, elephants, monkeys, chimps, sea otters, and octopus have megalithic architecture? Pyramids? The wheel? Even campfire sites?
Knocking stones together to produce tools, or just tool-like artifacts, doesn't work out as some kind of refutation of anything, and is just foolish.
No it means the writer doesn’t know what the find means.
It says nothing about evolution.
What it means is that archeologists who find stone pieces and interpret them as shards should not do that automatically.
The idea of the evolution of human tool using isn’t effected at all. Humans use tools and in the distant past used less complex tools.
BTW - tool using in animals has been observed for a long time. The idea that humans were the only tool users was a 19th century idea. It certainly hasn’t been taught in my lifetime.
Actually, my answer was a tad bit of a sarcastic reply to SunkenCiv’s #17”
>>>No, it doesn’t. It shows that humans and living monkeys have a common ancestor, and banging rocks together came from that ancestor. But thanks for playing.<<<
