      We have learnt that they have culture, like we do. Their culture is a bit simpler (you wouldn’t see them going to the theatre or playing football), but if you go to different groups of chimps in different parts of Africa, you would see them doing different things. For example, in west Africa the chimps use stones to crack nuts, but in the east they use sticks.
