Seem to remember David Attenborough commenting on an ape eating leaves for some ailment in one of his wildlife programs.

Dr. Zaius has arrived.

Whats the plant?

Going back over the centuries, who used it first their ancestors or the latter humans evolved from them.

Omg they are so wise ❤

They soo smart. Some body know exactly what leafs that he eats where? / Sweden!

They have been watching the natives from above forever. Where do you think the saying, "Monkey see, monkey do" originated. Smart animals.

The irony here is that phrase was spoken by the first talking monkey back in the 1950s - a lancier's gibbon. Although as primatologists soon pointed out - the monkey was emulating what it HEARD, not what it saw visually - leading to a basic theory of mind being developed by Hanson and Stolle framing perception as a pre-cortical heuristic embedded in the limbic fascia.

Very interesting, although there are recorded cases since antiquity of animals eating certain plants to ease various ailments. Not quite the same thing, of course
