“Call me when they start making fires to cook their meals.”
A National Geographical Article explains how several species of birds of prey in Australia intentionally spread fire as a feeding mechanism. The birds will find a live fire, and pick up a stick and drop it into a flammable area, causing a fire that flushes out prey, leading to easy feeding.
The thought is that this behavior probably started because the birds would naturally benefit from wildfires, and somewhere along the line realized they could spread the fire.
So it’s apparent that humans aren’t the only animals to use fire as a tool. However, I’m not sure if there is any documented case of a wild animal starting fire on their own.
Evolution takes time.

But the other primates have been around longer then we have and still show absolutely no tendency to do anything but eat, copulate with anything they can overpower, throw poop and tear each other apart.
In other words, they act just like democrats.
Shouldn't they have shown some signs of progress by now?
