Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!
First off, check this article out.
For those who are to lazy to, scientists in Senegal have witnessed chimpanzees making spears and using them to hunt other primates.
Let’s ignore the evolutionary impact of this, which is obviously huge (here we have an animal independently learning and growing in their environment at such a level it is becoming habitual). So throwing that all aside: the monkeys have spears.
For the longest time, humans have been the only ones on this pale blue dot who have had the spears. Granted, we’ve developed spears that could launch in the air, explode and cause catastrophic pain and destruction. But that’s all beside the point.
We’re no longer the only ones with the spears and that’s just what they’re showing us. Who knows what the monkeys are developing behind closed doors in their executive simian studio apartments.
I always had a bad feeling about teaching them language, but now they’re making weapons. I smell a revolution coming, do you know what side you’re on?
On a side note, I think Israel and the Phillipines are in on it.
