So to stare at an ape is to see what might have been a 【B2】______ on the road from yesterday. And when you watch them, do you see them? Or yourself? Humans used to define themselves as【B3】______ because humans used language, made tools and 【B4】______ culture. Then they started looking more closely.

De Waal’s chimps live in a social group. They can rate what they saw as sad or happy, and they 【B8】______ doing that without previous training. There are ways of understanding how chimps 【B9】______ the world. In the field, people have seen them using leaves as an umbrella or 【B10】______ their backsides with a piece of wood. [br] 【B8】
