Gorillas have been seen for the first time using simple tools to perform tasks in the wild, researchers say.
Scientists observed gorillas in a remote Congolese forest using sticks to test the depth of muddy water and to cross swampy areas.
Wild chimps and orangutans also use tools, suggesting that the origins of tool use may predate the evolutionary split between apes and humans.
Gorillas are endangered, with some populations numbered in the hundreds.
'Valuable insights'
"We've been observing gorillas for 10 years here, and we have two cases of them using detached objects as tools," said Thomas Breuer, from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), who heads the study team in Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo.
"In the first case, we had a male gorilla using a camera in a most intelligent looking way," he told the BBC.

S'funny how the "Scientists" seem to deal with the gorilla-tool issue: turn it into "ohsh1t, let's defend our already tautly-stretched evolutionism framework", rather than simply ascribing tool-use as something that primates do in more recognisably human-like ways than other creatures.

But we did evolve from monkeys, there is no doubt of that *flame flame*

Besides, I'm living proof of it, ask Rufus! Smile

No James. You are NOT living proof of evolution, since you are STILL A GORILLA, and have not become a person/dog/cat, nor anything new.

I think that people always need a " reason " why something happens ( happend ) . The way i look at it is If i came from a monkey then why are monkeys not still turning into "Men " ?
