Really? I think using a rock to smash open a shell or a twig to reach further into a termite mound is, like, absolute bare minimum requirement for being considered “using tools”.
A structure with notched wood? That’s next level shit. I don’t think we see even great apes today do anything like that despite literally living in environments surrounded by wood.
If David Attenborough released a documentary tomorrow with a chimp colony building a lean-to it would be groundbreaking lol
