    While I think it’s a nice thought, I still find the idea that humans are the ONLY “storytellers” to be falling into the same trap as tool use. Just because we haven’t witnessed or recorded it doesn’t mean that other species don’t tell “stories”.

    Heck, even crows learn faces and then tell other crows about those faces. If that’s not some form of “storytelling” idk what is.
