Is nothing sacred? 'New footage shows chimpanzees engaging in bizarre behaviour — which might be a form of sacred ritual that could show the beginnings of a kind of religious belief.' link This leads to a few interesting thoughts – religious wars between two groups of apes 'Rally to defend the honour of the One True Tree' |

Chimpanzees in West Africa have been spotted banging and throwing rocks against trees and throwing them into gaps inside, leading to piles of rocks. Sounds more like a game to me, but the relation to early human cairns is definitely compelling. |

Humans have religions. Humans do meaningless stuff. Humans sort of look like chimps. Chimps do meaningless stuff. Therefore: Chimps have religion. Oh, and if a duck floats…. |
