A recent study led by the University of Oxford and the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior has revealed that wild chimpanzees are capable of organizing their actions into complex sequences similar to human behaviors.

The study focused on one of the most complex actions performed by primates: nut cracking using stone tools.

The research suggests that unique behavioral traits characteristic of humans, which are the basis of language and technological culture, may have formed before the divergence of humans and chimpanzees.
