Wild Chimpanzees Inform Ignorant Group Members of Danger

Researchers, Catherine Crockford, Roman Wittig and colleagues, originally concluded that Chimpanzees did not have the brain complexity to point out the less intelligent and gifted in a group. But, according to their research, the Chimpanzees could point out the less intelligent in the group and create specific calls to warn them of danger. While the ones that are more aware of danger will not be warned as much with a call. This brings up the theory that the chimpanzees could have complex enough brains to have the same skills that humans already naturally contain.
