Goodall studied chimp societies, and his findings altered how the world viewed humans, monkeys, and the distinction between the two.

Primates can learn language to interact, so language must be natural to humans
Primates make tools to accomplish tasks, so tools must be natural to humans
Primates form hierarchies and classes, so they too much be natural for humans
Primates have war, hatred, prejudice, but also love, commitment, and family. These must be biological.
