New intelligent race on earth soon

Researchers have discovered chimpanzees constructing and using tools. The primates were making wooden spears to hunt other primates. To make this tool, the chimps broke off a branch and then strip off all the leaves and side branches. After that some more sophisticated chimps also sharpened the edges with their teeth. This behaviour was most frequently exhibited by female chimps and their children.

For a long time it was thought that only humans were exhibiting these kind of behaviours. Now it seems that the chimps aren't to far off and maybe evolving into another highly intelligent species.
