what is the smartest animal in the world? I would say what i think but i know i would be wrong. If i had to guess tho i would choose probly some sort of prime mate or an octopus or a bottle nosed dolphin.
I think monkeys do farm, just not using the scale or methods of humans.
Think about how humans developed farming, they ate something, shat out the seed, and noticed a few months later a strawberry growing in their latrine. The human made the connection and started shooting out seeds all over the place for more strawberries.
I think chimps already dig holes to plant certain tubers, also, but I'm basing that off of an old Discovery Channel documentary, so I'm not too sure.
i was watching some show on the Discovery channel, "life" and there was footage of a monkey like animal (i don't remember its name) who was using a rock to crack open a nut. and then it was teaching its baby to do the same. This was the use of tools, and it will take time but they will learn to use other tools and that is how the humans got so smart. with the wheel and other tools.
