Just because chimps didn't learn tool use from farmers doesn't mean they didn't learn it from our ancestors. We have been using tools for a very long time and sometimes must have lived in close quarters - especially back when our ancestors might have been, at first glance, mistaken for chimps.

What? Far as we know, chimps and us, have a common ancestor. So it branched out from there.

Primitive Humans weren't raised in captivity by another species and I doubt there will be any chimps in the wild in a hundred years.

I enjoyed it.

They are fair game for ridicule just like the rest of em.

Chimps will not evolve significantly.
Nature's aim is not turn every animal into a smart human.

Whatever mutation caused us to evolve the way we did has not happened to any other animal. So far.
Forget trying to teach them anything. Nobody taught us.

I cannot see them, even in 1000 years, hunting with home made bows and arrows.
They'll just get cleverer at slinging shit.
