Read the following passage and decide whether the information in each statement is true (T), false (F) or not given (NG) Chimpanzees readily learn and share techniques on how to fiddle with gadgets, new research shows – the best evidence yet that our closest living relatives pass on customs and culture just as human do.

In the wild, chimpanzees troops often are distinct from one another, possessing collections of up to 20 traditions or customary behaviours that together seem to form unique cultures.

In the wild, chimpanzees troops often are distinct ( khác biệt ) from one another, possessing collections of up to 20 traditions or customary behaviours that together seem to form unique cultures. Such parties include forms of tool use, including hammers and pestles; courtship rituals such as leaf-clipping, where leaves are clipped noisily with the teeth; social behaviours such as overhead hand-clasping during mutual grooming; and methods for eradicating parasites by either stabbing or squashing them.
