How about smart apes then?

Where does the match come from? Can this dumb thing still do it without the match?

Can you? How would you start a fire in the wilderness without technology which was provided for you?
Can you?
In fact, I show that to students whenever I teach them what is a flint.
Can a dumb chimp identify a flint-like material?
Where is the technology of any non-human primate? You tell me one and I will shut up.
More weird make believe.Could the Homo Naledi use fire?
If they could, then they are as intelligent as we are.
If not, then they are a kind of dumb monkey.
Smarter animals can understand more complicated systems. Humans are smarter again.A skill called technology should include at least a sequence of break-down processes. A one-step process in using material can be observed on the behavior of many animals. And more importantly, there is no development of any consequential process (i.e. no improvement). This should be a characteristic symptom of low intelligence.
It's a learned task and not all chimps learn or understand. Not all chimps need it.A question about the image you attached: Obviously not all chimps in the wild do this. Why not?
Fantastic! So, your students need to be shown how to light a fire with flint and a striker. What makes you think a "dumb chimp" could not be taught the same thing?In fact, I show that to students whenever I teach them what is a flint.

How long was the wooden spear and stone hand axe the pinnacle of human technology?

If you read the article the image came from, you'd see that this chimp did not learn his skills from humans, but from other chimps. And that other chimps in the same group are learning from him.They could be taught by human, but not by another chimp. Even a fish can be taught to do tricks.
That is why I said that they can learn, but can not teach. And that is fatal due to the dumbness.
You bet I can.
And I think most human can.

I bet most humans can't. The fact that you think they can tells me that you believe it is much easier than it is; which also tells me that you haven't actually ever done it before.
