How do you know if a female chimpanzee is ready to mate?
The genitals of the female Chimpanzee balloons into a giant pink swelling during her time of estrus. This is when she is most susceptible to becoming pregnant. The pink coloring and smell of hormones lets potential suitors know that she is receptive. The alpha male usually gets to mate first, followed by those who are aligned with him. Some younger males must mate in secret in order to avoid a fatal beating or exile.
Males attract females through a ritual known as "leaf cutting." They will pick a leaf from a branch and run it through their teeth, stripping the membrane from the stem. This creates a noise that will capture the attention of females in estrus. If the initial attempt fails, they will continue to strip leaves until the noise gets the attention of the females. Sometimes males will resort to shaking entire branches of leaves.

Do non-human primates have culture?
Yes. We used to think about certain behaviors, especially tool use, as being primarily human. However, spontaneous tool use has been observed in many species of non-human primates. Chimpanzees make "wands" to fish for termites, for example. Capuchins (the new world monkeys that most people think of when they think of a generalized monkey) also use tools--they use rocks to crack open nuts.
Of course, crows can also make and use surprisingly sophisticated tools, so we probably the main issue is that human beings like to think our behaviors are more special than they are.
Yes, primates have learned sign language, how to count, can use tools, show empathy, and a sense of humor, to name but a few behaviours that are usually thought to be human.

What are some characteristics of a family?
Universality:
Family is the basic unit structure of a society and is found in every culture and almost all geographical locations and at all times. However, its characteristics features may differ from place to place and society to society.
Emotional Basis:
Emotional attachment between father-mother, parent-children and between siblings, keeps the family members together as a unit.
Limited Size:
Since family is a group of people related to each other by the bonds of blood, adoption or marriage; the number of members in each group is limited thus restricting the size of the family.
Formative Influence:
The family has a positive formative influence on all its members. The younger's ones are dependent wholly on the family for physical, mental, emotional development and may find it hard to survive without it. The grown-up members too are dependant on the family for psychological development and emotional feedback.
Nuclear position in the social structure:
Family is like a unit block in the formation of a social set-up and it performs various functions. Although today many of its functions are taken upon by the various social institutions, yet the central status of family is indispensable.
Responsibility of Members:
Each member of the family has a responsibility towards other family members, towards family and towards society.
Social Regulations:
Family is bound to run by certain family and social regulations. These various rules called taboos, customs, laws etc., vary in different cultures. An individual is not free to overlook these (family and social) regulations which were rather more strict in olden days as compared to the present-day society.
Permanent and Temporary Nature:
Family as an association is temporary in nature. When one of the partners in a marriage dies, the association ends; thus the association is temporary in nature. On the other hand, family as an institution keeps changing its member and has permanent existence.

Adaptations: sacculated stomach which is greatly enlarged and divided into 3 parts folder upon one another to allow leafy material to pass slowly through the system and release nutrients, enlarged salivary glands also aid in the digestion of leaves and plant parts
Behavior: well defined territories, male marks his territory vocally with snorts and roars, male dominated groups are highly cohesive with interactions between groups very rare, bachelor males are solitary, spend most of their time in trees, move mostly quadrupedally along branches, semi-brachiation also fairly common
