Question about Anthropology dealing with Chimpanzees...Please Help!?

Question

Why does it make evolutionary sense that chimpanzees have advanced capabilities for culture?

Please give me a detailed response because I am doing a research/essay and your help would be tremendously appreciated.

Thank You!

Answer 1

social structure they live in groups and this is required to maintain the group dynamics. all social animals have intricate social structures.

Answer 2

Oh my god! They are social and use tools! Eat anything, too boot! They still have s*x the very old fashion way, though.

Answer 3

Well, chimpanzees (specifically BONOBO chimps, a rare subspecies which are only found in a small region of the Democratic Republic of Congo - formerly Zaire) have only a 2% genetic difference from humans.

They are very social mammals and are also very sexual in nature. They are one of only a few species of animals which participate in homosexual acts. So I guess they are pretty similar to humans.

You could do some research online about them and draw on that.. good luck!
