Answer 7

The chimps never knew about the thing they are throwing..!!! the action of throwing was just a sign of communication with their mates... this type of communication started in chimps and now extended to humans... many researches conducted have proved that this action made a high development in the left hemisphere of the brains of those chimps which are good throwers... that is they wanted to express something to their fellow mate..

Answer 8

The chimps throw their dung but not humans instead we throw things on our mates when we are angry....
