How much training is necessary for them to do this? Humans can reason this out without any training, if the chimps had to be trained substantially (e.g. first starting with one box, being rewarded with food, then starting with two boxes, etc.) then I think this would constitute a difference.
Well, one could argue that humans "train" for similar problems throughout their lives... Would you expect a feral child to figure that out straight away?
