Tool-Using of Apes and 'the Culture'
Chimpanzees, a type of ape, have behaviors that build an intelligent and complex community. They have very close features to human beings. Their interesting behaviors include angling of termites and ants, and using digging tools or nut cracking tools. Tools are well devised and used repeatedly. Tool technologyis handed down from adults to juveniles. Groups living in each region use different tools. As a result different cultural sphereshave been created for different groups.
