In another article written by Whiten and his studies group “Cultures in Chimpanzees”, Whiten does another research to see whether some cultural aspect in chimp communities are practiced through social contact and in this specific research Whiten and his study groups include social behavior within the chimp groups other than focusing on just tool use. Whiten and his studies group concluded in this research that “our data agree with experimental studies thathaveshownthatchimpanzeescopy themethodsusedbyothers to manipulate and open artificial ‘fruits’ designed as analogues of wild foods” (Whiten et al. 685). Whiten and his group concludes that chimps does not have a teaching system like humans but, chimps just copy and learn what other chimps do through social interactions. In addition, Whiten also observed with his group that the social behavior within the chimp groups are also acquired through imitation for example chimps scratching each other’s backs. So it can be concluded from this article that chimps acquire their culture socially but, whenever a new social behavior or tool is developed chimpsstart to copy or imitate each other and thus a new culture is “invented” to help advance with the “old
