You have your facts wrong
This is another evidence for a universal law that few people knows it. Why chimps and not gorillas making those tools? The gorillas were the most powerful genre among monkeys species, but, the DNA is telling us that instead selecting the gorillas for transcendence into human species, Nature went back in time and space of monkeys evolution, and caught a less powerful animal - some cousin of chimps. Why?
Chimps are our closest relatives, gorillas are more distant, and gorillas are not a "monkey species." Gorillas and chimps etc. (i.e., apes) branched off from monkeys something like 25 or more million years ago.

Re: You have your facts wrong
So, do you agree or don't about those issues?
No, I don't agree.
And you have your own thread, it might be better if you didn't pollute this thread with your abject nonsense.
