This paper aims to contribute to a more thorough understanding of the full spectrum of homi nin technological behaviour, by presenting a systematic analysis of ground stone tools from the Last Interglacial Middle Palaeolithic site Neumark-Nord 2/2 (NN2/2) (Germany). Xu sees a different Yuhui, more multifaceted, behind his intelligent and cute portrait known by the public.Despite a strong increase in the research on hominin percussive tool use, the primary focus in the study of technological behaviour still lies on flaked stone artefacts, especially for the Middle Palaeolithic. Yuhui also finds it interesting to observe the tourists.” Immersed in describing Yuhui’s every detail, Xu seemed to ignore anything else and left no chance for interruption.

“The tourists find it interesting seeing Yuhui. The photo was posted with the caption, “I’m not happy working overtime on May 1.” “I have to stop evolving otherwise, I’ll be pushed to work like a human.” Amused by such comments under Yuhui’s dishwashing video, Xu took a screenshot and saved it. On International Workers’ Day, he captured the expression of Yuhui sitting on the parallel bars and pouting. While fans express their love by sending gifts generously, Xu’s love is embodied in his intimate relationship with Yuhui, whose interesting daily life is frequently shared in Xu’s WeChat Moments.

Animals will never be deceived by words.” Noticing it, Yuhui gently touched my arm, comforting me like a human.” Accompanying animals for 16 years, Xu summarized his experience with one sentence: "If you treat animals well, they will treat you well. Regarding why he has stuck to his post for many years, besides his love for wildlife, Xu also recalled his unique “moment of career satisfaction” thanks to Yuhui. Instead, it is tedious, tiring, and even full of danger. In fact, working as a zookeeper is far from easy. Zookeeper Xu Zhengkun was preparing meals for chimpanzees. For example, considering chimpanzees are good at climbing, the Park has entertained Yuhui with new facilities, including hexagonal barbells, hanging rings, and swing benches, which benefit his physical and mental health. Xu said feeding is not enough for advanced primates like chimpanzees zookeepers should also care about their physiological and psychological needs. Adjustments will be made according to the season and the chimpanzee’s physical conditions. Yuhui eats two meals and about 4-6 kilograms of food daily. Xu usually starts his day by preparing meals for chimpanzees in the morning. Nine years later, he began caring for Yuhui, a 15-year-old chimpanzee. Xu became a zookeeper at the Chongqing Lehe Ledu Animal Theme Park in 2007. They are not as gentle and approachable as imagined.” Xu thinks that Yuhui is excellent at observation, and his learning and imitation abilities are stronger than other chimpanzees. Chimpanzees are highly intelligent primates and also fierce beasts. There are also doubts focusing on one question: whether Yuhui’s skills have been deliberately trained. Fans sent a refrigerator worth thousands of yuan, expensive seasonal fruits, and tasty drinks to the Park, all for Yuhui. “Yuhui is a model worker,” “He is more capable than me,” joked the netizens. Yuhui wins praise from people and receives far more attention and love than the Park has expected. Yuhui, the chimpanzee, was drinking milk through a straw.
