The evolution of culture is dependent upon the development of the tools of civilization. Civilized cultures exhibit a high degree of ingenuity. It is the concept of humans as toolmakers and modifiers that differentiates us from other animals and, some would say, makes us civilized. A monkey might use a stick to remove termites from a log, but that stick will never be reworked into a fork or other eating utensil. Monkeys have never devised a spoken language, written a book, composed a melody, built a house, or paved a street. To claim that birds build nests and beavers construct dams is to miss the mark. Man once lived in caves, but our imagination and creativity have allowed us to progress toward true civilization. [br] Select the sentence that suggests that some specialists overstate the complexity of animal behavior.

答案
"To claim that birds...is to miss the mark."
解析
The best answer is: To claim that birds build nests and beavers construct dams is to miss the mark. The author suggests that some scientists would argue that building nests or dams is fundamentally equivalent to human activities, but that the argument is not valid.
