- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+124The chimps can spell "too".
- SteveDeGroof, on 10/12/2007, -3/+100Sure, today they're only using spears but it's a slippery slope. It won't be long before they're rounding us up for sport and the Statue of Liberty's up to her neck in sand.

- kevinmotel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+48500 years from now chimps might be extinct
- Feodoric, on 10/12/2007, -4/+46Right, because as everyone knows, it is impossible to have a moral system unless you believe in a creator. Those damned immoral biologists.
- SpaceDreamer, on 10/12/2007, -4/+44I bet they have WMDs
- Shiftgood, on 10/12/2007, -8/+47Monkeys are dumb. If i were them i would be using guns.
- Cink420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+38500 years??? That's some incredibly rapid evolution man O.O

now that's a good band name - kevinmotel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+35first sentence:
Researchers documented 22 cases of chimps fashioning tools to jab at smaller primates sheltering in cavities of hollow branches or tree trunks. - buttspeak, on 10/12/2007, -4/+36Sounds like it is time for a preemptive strike before this gets out of hand.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33Depends on if the monolith comes for another visit.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+35"Evolutionists want to believe"
Umm, it's easy to "believe" in something when there are humongous mountains of evidence that support a specific conclusion, all obtained by unrelated observations in different fields of study, from geology to biology to astronomy, and ALL leading to ONE SINGLE CONCLUSION. - creoderiot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32"He can talk, he can talk"
"I can SING!" - pushmouse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31Ape shall not kill ape!
- ezweave, on 10/12/2007, -5/+34I hate to break your tirade, but plenty of Christians believe in evolution too.
I mean, that Bible thing isn't all literal... sorry to shatter your world view.
(This is going to go downhill, fast) - curomo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29Zaius, just sayin'.
- otheruser, on 10/12/2007, -3/+31the infamous hunting scene is in here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-b8HbaS-SN0&mode=related&search= - Waterispoison, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34"This has nothing to do with Humans evolving from ape like creatures. Humans knowingly create weapons with the INTENT and PURPOSE to hunt and defend. These chimps have no idea whatsoever what the heck they are doing (which is obvious) and are only acting out from habitual instincts."
Where you there? Did you observe their actions? Are you a behavioral biologist? Leave the science to the experts and stop spreading your opinions. - DesiGuy421, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Please realize that we didn't evolve FROM chimpanzees. Humans and chimps both evolved from one common ancestor.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+33But TMA-1 told me that I was special!
- cepultura, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
- tybris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Only a matter of time before they start writing Shakespeare.
- brewno2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25Get your stinkin’ paws off me, you damned dirty ape!
- AdmiralAdama, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30This is how we started. How long before they get nukes?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23"Damn you! Damn you all to Hell!"
- kevinmotel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20real men can wear a jean skirt and make it work
- tybris, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21"and the Statue of Liberty's up to her neck in sand. "
I believe we are to blame for that. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Someone should donate a word processor to them, so they can get jobs writing for the MSM.
- PrimalVenom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19so basically what you are saying is, evolutionists try to find evidence for evolution?
intriguing.... - Blackforge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17WMDs? Wads of Monkey Dung? Duck!
Oh wait they're not monkeys.. - hexx54, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18n00bs
- Tebixan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Guys, he's just another sheltered fundamentalist who had this garbage pounded into his brain growing up, and refuses to acknowledge anything that contradicts his brainwashing.
There is no point in arguing, these guys don't care about facts, reason, or rationality.
@ Heli
Researchers are not bound by the theories they are researching. A real scientist would be just as excited to prove an existing theory is wrong as to prove it is right. We do not base our reports and research on faith of any kind, but on decades of hard science. To think otherwise only shows your ignorance - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20I can't believe a 2001 reference is getting dugg down that hard.
- ezweave, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17That's not at all what this says. You make it sound like you've been there too and are about to publish your own research.
Chimps regularly hunt, kill, and eat smaller primates... this stick usage, has been observed many times by different people (according to the article). No where does anyone go off into left field, this is just research about primates and tool usage. The one sentence at the end doesn't justify your epithets. - zappo1776, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15@kevinmotel: "500 years from now chimps might be extinct"
500 years from now we might be extinct. - AggieTales, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18@Heilige
well then if morals depend on God, then how come Athiests are among the most moral citizens, at least in the USA. - jd33, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Oh God, what's Britney up to now?
- venir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14or Spear Chuckin' Chimps
- BionicBeefpile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Everyone replying to the parent comment has missed an important point. One of the chimpanzees has already progressed beyond spear-throwing, and is now posting on Digg.
You can all be authors on the paper I'm working on. I think we can get this in Nature no problem. - Dainjah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13"The Theory of Evolution is just that, a THEORY."
-The Theory of Gravity is just that, a THEORY. The Theory of Germs is just that, a THEORY. The Theory of Atoms is just that, a THEORY. The Theory of Plate Tectonics is just that, a THEORY. etc etc.... Please learn what a scientific theory is.
"Give me the best example of proof for evolution you know of."
How about the mountain of evidence ranging from fossils, biogeographical distribution, development, anatomy, and molecular evidence that all point to decent with modification.... but hell I'll give you one piece and lets see you refute it. Human Chromosome number 2. Why are there telomeres in the middle of the chromosome? Evolution has a perfectly good answer for this. What is yours? Now scuttle off to your creationist website and try to find an answer. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Look, as long as we don't start using them for pets and parading them on late night TV shows we'll be fine. The end doesn't happen until we do that... oh, wait.
- skinnyjohns, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11"However, they did not photograph the behaviour, or capture it on film."
that sucks - tybris, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12You're in denial.
