"Chimpanzees drum on the buttress roots of trees to send information to each other, with each individual having their own signature style.
..researchers say they have not only found chimpanzees drum with non-random timing, but that the rhythms differ between subspecies."
The Guardian · Chimps’ rhythmic drumming could shed light on music’s evolutionary roots
Chimps got rhythm. Did our musical abilities emerge from these roots? https://www.science.org/content/article/chimpanzee-drumming-may-give-clues-roots-rhythm #music #evolution #chimpanzees #chimps

Give these chimps drums and lets make some music together!
What a wonderful way for species to communicate!

Chimps beat up, murder and then cannibalise their former tyrant
About two dozen former research chimps living on a military base in New Mexico will be moved to a sanctuary in Louisiana. Five years ago, gov’t officials said the chimps were too unhealthy and frail to make the move. But now the situation there has changed the risk/benefit calculation:
If they're teaching each other which are the medicinal plants then they have a 'culture' and therefore could we not consider them as 'people' such as we?

Last night I had the huge privilege of interviewing the great Sylvia Earle about the ocean. She said this, which really stuck with me:
"If Jane Goodall had been limited to studying chimps by hauling individuals out from high above the forest and inspecting what came up, she would have learned almost nothing"
But that's mostly how we study ocean life.

Is it possible for humans and chimpanzees to interbreed? The answer is no. Humans and chimps have different numbers of chromosomes, gene sequences, and reproductive barriers preventing them from producing viable offspring. Even if they could, the offspring would likely be sterile, like mules, resulting from horse-donkey hybrids.
