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….
