Protracted development of stick tool use skills extends into adulthood in wild western chimpanzees
In wild chimpanzees, the intricacies of tool use learning continue into adulthood. This pattern supports ideas that large brains across hominids allow continued learning through the first two decades of life.

Systematic mapping of developmental milestones in wild chimpanzees
-
Patterns of milestone emergence in wild chimpanzees are broadly comparable to observations in the human literature.
-
As in humans, chimpanzee gross motor traits emerge on average before communication, social interaction and fine motor traits.
-
Later emerging milestones demonstrate greater inter-individual variation in the timing of the emergence.
