Primate Uprising Update:
Meet Kanzi. He’s a bonobo, a species in the Great Ape family that was previously known as the pygmy chimpanzee. Scientists who study primates know that apes and chimpanzees often use twigs and leaves for tools, but Kanzi is going one step further into “human” territory.
He can make a fire. He gathers kindling, breaks it up, strikes a match, then cooks some food over the open flame.
They’ve mastered fire, ladies and gentlemen. Prepare to walk out your front door one day to see cigarette-smoking chimps driving cars down your street. It’s coming.
