Chimpanzees have education. The culture that chimpanzees break nuts by using a stone as a hammer is inherited to their descendants. Adult chimpanzees don't teach how to break a nut, whereas they only let their children see how they do it. Children get to know the method by watching their behaviors.
The nuts breaking is the culture made only in Guinea. Chimpanzees who live in other countries have other cultures. Because such cultures do not decline, all chimpanzees are thought to have education.
