Final answer:

Chimpanzees and 3-year-old kids will both share, showing an understanding of the concept, although 3-year-olds may need some guidance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chimpanzees are known to share food with other chimps, regardless of whether there is one pile or two piles. They understand the concept of sharing and will distribute the food fairly among themselves. Additionally, 3-year-old kids also exhibit the ability to share, although they may need some guidance and reminders. They may not share perfectly, but they are beginning to understand the importance of sharing and cooperative behavior. Chimpanzees may share based on group dynamics whereas three-year-old children's sharing is influenced by development and social norms. Gorillas communicate with various cues and are led by a silverback, while chimpanzees and orangutans have different social structures. Comparing chimps' and children's task performance or humans' collective self-control requires contextual understanding.
