Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follows. [10 Marks]

A chimpanzee is one of the great apes and the nearest in intelligence to man. Scientists

have examined its mental capacities and sent it into space in anticipation of man.

Chimpanzees need little description. Being apes and not monkeys, they have no tails. Their

arms are longer than their legs and they normally roam on all fours. They can also walk

upright with toes turned outwards. When erect they stand 3-5 ft high. The hair is long and

coarse, black except for a white patch near the rump. The face, ears, hands and feet are bare

and except for the black face, the flesh is colored.

Chimpanzees exhibit great concern for each other. When chimpanzees meet after

having been apart they greet each other in a very human way by touching each other or even

clasping hands. Chimpanzees have amazing social discipline. When a dominant male arrives,

the rest of the chimpanzees hurry to pay respect to it. The dominant male is not allowed to

wrest food from his inferiors. The members of a party also spend considerable amount of

time grooming each other and themselves. Mothers go through the fur of their babies for any

foreign particles, dirt, and ticks and they aid each other when they are injured.

Chimpanzees are the best tool users apart from man. Sticks 2-3 ft long are picked off

the ground and pushed into nests, then withdrawn and the honey or insects licked off. Stones

are used as missiles to drive humans and baboons away from its food. Chimpanzees are not

only good tool users but also toolmakers. They make their own rods by stripping the leaves

off a twig or tear shreds off. A chimpanzees learn all this by observing the older

chimpanzees making and using them. So man is not the only toolmaker, merely better at it

than his relatives.
