Killing Bush Babies??
One of my most sought-after question is what makes us (Homo sapiens) human? We often associate humans with a species who knows how to make tools, how to commit murder (or genocide), and get high on some psychedelic mushrooms/drugs. Yet, recently a report from Senegal (March issue of Current Biology) showed a picture of a chimpanzee (7 millions away from humans) making a spear and jabbed out a bush baby from a tree trunk!! Prior to this discovery, making lethal weapons for hunting was exclusively humanly feature!!
Some of you may wonder what is a bush baby?? because I did well… here it is.
LOL

Well… survival of the fittest at work here… we need to tell Bush to stop teaching chimps how to make high-tech weapons!
