Антропологи из Оксфорда и Университета Чубу в Японии выяснили, что среди диких шимпанзе есть как настоящие «эксперты», так и менее умелые особи в искусстве раскалывания орехов камнями. Работа опубликована в журнале Nature Human Behaviour (NHB).
The main conceptual idea of the text is that there is a variation in skill level among wild chimpanzees when it comes to cracking nuts.
The Oxford and University of Chuubu researchers found that some chimpanzees were significantly more efficient and accurate than others, even within the same community. They suggest this difference could be due to varying cognitive abilities among individuals, highlighting the complexity and individual differences within chimpanzee populations.
Furthermore, the study showed that practice improves skill in all chimpanzees regardless of their initial ability, demonstrating a learning process over time.
