- Chimpanzees use tools and show individual differences, findings that changed earlier assumptions about nonhuman animals.
- Careful behavioral records distinguish what an animal did from what an observer thinks the action means.
- Protecting chimpanzees requires attention to habitat, human activity, and the welfare of whole populations.
