CHIMPANZEE
INTRO
Chimpanzees, sometimes colloquially Chimps, are two extant hominid species of apes in the genus Pan. The Congo
River divides the native habitats of the two species. Chimpanzees are members of the family Hominidae, along with gorillas, humans, and orangutans. Chimpanzees split from the human branch of the family about four to six million years ago. Chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to humans, being members of the tribe Hominini.
CHIMPANZEE INTELLIGENCE
1. TOOL USE
Chimpanzees make tools and use them to acquire foods and for social displays they have sophisticated hunting strategies requiring cooperation, influence and rank; they are status conscious, manipulative and capable of deception; they can learn to use symbols and understand aspects of human language including some relational syntax, concepts of number and numerical sequence; and they are capable of spontaneous planning for a future state or event.
2. COMMUNICATION
Chimps communicate in a manner similar to human nonverbal communication, using vocalizations, hand gestures, and facial expressions. Research into the chimpanzee brain has revealed chimp communication activates an area of the chimp brain in the same position as Broca's area, a language center in the human brain. Studies have found that chimps are capable of learning a limited set of sign language symbols, which they can use to communicate with human trainers. 3. STUDIES OF LANGUAGE
Scientists have long been fascinated with the studies of language, believing it to be a unique human cognitive ability. To test this hypothesis, scientists have attempted to teach human language to several species of great apes. One early attempt by Allen and
Beatrix Gardner in the 1960s involved spending 51 months teaching American Sign
Language (ASL) to a chimpanzee named Washoe. The Gardners reported
Washoe learned 151 signs, and she had spontaneously taught
