Ok... that's a lot of fun to watch. Obviously, they are learning by "monkey see" methods. How else would they know how to use a lighter, or chip a flint tool?

One thing that is really nice about this is that it does seem to be more interested in seeing what the mental capacities of the bonobo are rather than seeing their ability to directly imitate us. It's not there completely yet, a lot of it is, as Tevar pointed out, Monkey see Monkey do. I want to see what they can do if just given some basic tools, a problem, and see what they come up with.
