Congo: A Group of Chimpanzees Seem to Have Mastered Fire

http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/congo-a-group-of-chimpanzees-seem-to-have-mastered-fire/

Fascinating report of a colony of bonobos in Salonga National Park in the Congo basin that have been watched for over 3 years and appear to have gradually evolved and somewhat refined a crude method of fire-making which they are reported to employ in brandishes against enemies - which villagers say have destroyed tracts of forestry - and in cooking squirrel monkeys. if this has been reported accurately - and I am looking for more learned reports here - it may represent evolution in action and a replay of early human evolution where the ability to cook food - at least according to Richard Wrangham - was a crucial factor in releasing high-octane calories vital for body and brain growth.
