It wasn't strange. I just didn't take the time. Chimps do use language and they (along with gorillas) can be taught sign language. As titmowse said, hit the Goodall literature. Also De Waals.
So they just happened to not evolve over 7 million years while we did and they live in the same areas as many of us? Hmmm
