chimps just mushrooms short of civilization
Still no baby yet... the waiting, hopefully, is the hardest part... was due the 22nd... we await his arrival imminently...
I just read on the BBC that chimps have been observed using spears (they sharpen them with their teeth) to hunt other primates. I knew they could use sticks to fish out termites and rocks to bash nuts. They've also been observed standing in apparent awe at the sight of a wonder of nature, say a rainbow over a waterfall, perhaps the makings of a spirituality of sorts... just wait till they find magic mushrooms (see Terrence McKenna), then they'll really be showing us evolution in action... story here.
