At 13 months old kids recognize social interactions. I doubt chimps can even as adults.-http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-02-babies-complex-social-situations-react.html-"'These scenarios are a bit like adults witnessing their friends behaving badly," said Luo. "If you were to witness your friend hitting another person, you'd tend to avoid him or her. If you had not witnessed the hit, you still would hang out with the friend. If the hit were an accident, then you may or may not spend time with them. Our results showed that babies reacted to these scenarios in similar ways.'-"These results suggest that young children are developing skills that enable them to assess social situations, Luo said."
