No on organizing themselves, but!, they do cache food. Most animals do.

And parents share their cache with their young, naturally. And some animals have a larger definition of "family", than just young. Some have communal concepts.

So I wonder, how close is the next step?

The behaviour is there.

I bet if a tool was rare, or hard to find, they would cache it. And that would leave the door open for communal caching.

But my point is, animals "get" caching. Frankly, human caching behaviour must be instinctual to some degree.

I wonder.

A few things are required to have it even make sense. Take growing food. It requires a way to keep other animals at bay, otherwise, your work is all lost.

But I think, it also requires the ability to clear land.

Well anyhow. Enough rambling.
