Chimpanzees are ‘just like us’ - BBC REEL 

We've already observed; that's why no credible scientist would refer to other animals as stupid or less evolved. Although, I must question this primatologist's use of the word "race" in describing human clines.

Well said ☮️❤️

Maybe as sentient as us but they will never be as intelligent we have build skyscrapers boats bombs guns armor tanks phones we are in a completely different almost GOD like level compared to these animals

@@oldarthurmorgan6319 Those achievements are the result of society and civilization, things much bigger than the human animal or individual, beyond even our own understanding (kind of like swarm intelligence) and our physical advantages (our opposable thumbs, bipedalism etc.). I guess the biggest advantage we do have over any other animal is our capacity for language. Only through that do we learn and pass on complex ideas such as architecture

Animals can be very intelligent…but there’s literally no way you people in these replies are saying they are on par with us evolutionarily speaking. We are much more evolved, these monkeys aren’t typing on highly advanced devices like you and I. They are indeed “less evolved”

"See baby l can scare drones , now turn around" 😂😂😂😂😂

Don't worry alpha thing evolving for us for good..bulling Is not alpha anymore.. top sportsmen,scientists,artists,harder workers for thier family/offspring are real alphamen.

And your not with you name jesus is king.....😂​@@danw1374

I want a big beard wen l get older

You’re telling me that a chimpanzee is capable of war crimes? Wtf are you talking abt bro quit trying to act smart

Which is also happening in our world

@@Miister00 Exactly

What about bonobos

@@dimsim875 They live on the other side of the river that seperated the early ancestor of chimp and Bonobo. On their Side, being a Hippie is more advantegous. Although there is a Point where the Cansexual habits of Bonobos can go down bad as well

Ha..That's a good one.

idk they seem pretty ape-athetic to me

He is cooking

Okay

😂

Ye I suppose your right, it's all to do with gestation in the whome the longer you have to body size comparative the better brain you will have a dog is 9weeks a human is 9months a dog and baby can be born at close weights but the time spent in the body of its mother

Simple creatures?

Pigs are lifestock and they are some of the most intelligent animals out there. Especially when it comes to social and emotional intelligence.

Only if they express a desire to.

PAT METHENY goddayum haha

They have a very complicated social high archy and politics

There is no vote in DRC

Lol let them vote let’s see what happens

And just a weird, unnecessary vibe.

​@@sciencecompliance235 its monke vibe.

Empathy ans altruism is responsible for male coalitionary behavior like war and genocides lol you can have it but use it differently

People have a tendency to underestimate the positiveness of humanity.

almost no animals do it. just look at chimpanzees and dolphins

We’ve gotten to a point where we don’t kill each other for staring at each other. That’s a benefit

@@Punicia That’s not always true. I’ve heard of cases where people will attack another if someone stares at them.

they tried to rip off a workers arm and were dissapointed when they couldnt. I'd rather be stuck in a room with hungry lions than a chimp.

@@aperson626 🤓

​@@aperson626That would be an equally horrible outcome!

@@victor.elkins As it so happens I know quite a bit about ten thousand and a million years in human evolution. For example in my research I trace the first empathetic response back to Central Europe roughly 15 Mya. This is when our hominin ancestors adapted to a bipedal feedback loop that was triggered by weather changes. It is also when our species shifted away from a status hierarchy into autonomous collaborative communities. These adaptations are being repeated by bonobos, western chimps both savanna and forest and multiple central African chimpanzee groups. All are responding to the same habitat profile that first appeared in Central Europe 15 Mya. Thanks for playing Victor.

@@victor.elkins I'm laughing. You are a funny guy. OK I'll bite. How is it that you can predict a future human evolutionary scenario?

@@victor.elkins Couple of things. Just because we recently discovered the earth orbits the sun, 500 years ago, doesn't have anything to do with the fact that its been doing it for about 4 billion years. The recency on the discovery has nothing to do with a 4 billion year old process. Next the key chemical oxytocin was used by the first mammals roughly 300 million years ago to support maternal bonding which is the key to animals within social networks like humans. Next, that evolutionary bonding agent is not going to change in the next 1 million years, I predict based on the presented chain of evidence. Finally, I have no idea what you are about. What do you want? Do you have a point?

It is fanciful , arbitrary storytelling with scientific facts sprinkled in.

How is any of this relevant to the topic of the video?

Pigs do not share 98% of their dna with humans. It’s not even close to that. Dna is the end all be all of genetic relation.

Not sure it was implying that- just that lots of our people in position of power could hold a particular trait to a way better standard than it is, especially considering our awareness

Until they eat someone’s face and rip their arms off... :(

@@paigecoolest humans kill and harm others for no reason. So the chimapnzes are better

@@SofiaBerruxSubs I bet you still eat it

@@SofiaBerruxSubs chimps do that too like many predators they play with their prey were not naturally evil

@@justprimo2 evil is subjective lol

Well they dont kill for no reason so...hey at least they dont do that

Humans also kill without empathy. Did you even think about what you wrote before you posted it?

@@BlGGESTBROTHER we kill animals without empathy but we also need to do this because we need to eat. but unless youre like the owner of nestle you dont just kill humans. Plenty of animals kill eachother but humans generally dont. we have a concept of emapthy/sympathy and of innocence. they dont. sometimes they kill for no reason, when they dont even need to.

Chimps kill usually out of shows of territorial integrity or shows of dominance. They show empathy to their social groups, but not necessarily to others. In that, we are the same. This is partially why we still do the same thing between our own "tribes". Our tribes are just much larger because our ability to process complex language has given us the ability to craft national/spiritual narratives that are able to unite more individuals than other primate groups.

​@@aperson626humans kill each other all the time. Murders, wars, death sentences. We are not special.

leicanoct Let me take my spectacles 👓

"these animals" tried to rip a workers arm off when they tried to give them food. they were disapointed. they had no reason to do that. not even no emathy, they went out of their way to cause harm.

You’re not clever haha

@@cosuinofdeath Your a mean

? they murder other animals with no care.

I'm pretty sure it's the female's genitalia.

Many animals just stop evolving at some point .they will go to a certain phase and stop evolving And lets just say chimps are actually evolving. Then We have a very short life span to actually watch or observe them change Its a million years of process

@@jewelsofjuly7377 you're still simple-minded. Where is the between simpleton? You make no sense. You said they're not separate. I hope you don't think you're intelligent.

There is evidence of transitional species idk what ur on about.

@@arthurmorgan163 so this is fun. What do you consider to be the least evolved group?

@justiny.8365 there's a lot of opinions. Any person reading this thread can decide what you're trying to say. It only matters how you are understood. Sometimes we readers are able to decide whether you like it or not.

Thats racisr

@@user-np9dv2yi2k Huh? How is that racist? Chimps are not a race.

Although his English was fine, his accent would have made it difficult for others to understand.

@@ominous-omnipresent-they then please subtitle all of the english and americans speaking !! Also one would understand everything better without the bloody musicnoise drowning out speech !!!

Humans are like that too, I dare you to go into the ghetto in Chicago at night or a KKK rally as a black guy. See how these Humans behave

Chimps, domestic or not, share more similarities with us than this domestic tribe. Chimps and Humans are the only known primate species with the concept of being in possession of land, as chimps often mark thier land with items and landmarks to let others know its theirs, like humans with our concept of nations, states, and territories. There's also photo and video evidence of (wild) chimpanzee hitting small stones against hard surfaces to make them sharp, and using these sharp rocks as weapons, or to more easily harvest the fruits they live off of. The human genus are the only other species of primate to use sharp stone as tools and weapons.

You could say the same of humans though, lol

Same with us. If a stranger going inside your house what would you do?

@@experience741 probably hide. theyre like us but dont have a problem with killing.

all of them

You are a slave inside

And if they don't do their job, they will be held accountable for their actions. Seems fair to me.

No hate for jeff or queen b, im a fan of them both.

Because as binomial nomenclature it isn't just one word.

It’s Homo sapiens, not Homosapien, Homo is the genus, sapiens is the specific epithet, Homo sapiens is the species.

Our brains and animals are made of the same stuff, and almost every with a physically larger brain than us like elephants dolphins are capable of much more sophisticated communication than we are. Even insects can communicate and build and their brains are tiny. The main difference between modern humans and other animals is that we use writing (elephants can be taught to do so but they dont use it). Our survival is heavily reliant on what our past generations were able to build for us, animals are physically capable of surviving without such reliance. There’s a reason we are unique on this earth and that’s because every other homonin like us is dead. Animals must see us as great insects since their way of living is more similar to ours.

@@JabranImran writing is not at all the reason why we are alive, remember that written language is relatively new, humans were already alive for millennia before then. Humans are much more complex than just “writing makes us remember.” If other animals could write it would literally change nothing, but it isn’t even in their capacity to do so. Why do you people think things just happen to come about and are the reason for the chain of events afterward? Things happen for a reason, and what comes after happens as an extension of that reason. Humans are far too complex for every part of our history to be limited to “writing” especially since all civilizations were not a product of writing. Brain size is also not important, this has been found in humans that brain size does not correlate with intelligence.

@@-xnnybimb-9398 yeah, I don’t have any contention with your points (in fact I don’t think my comment does either). It seems however that you mixed the part where i said build not writing. I didn’t say our survival relies on writing, although i do think (and is what i was suggesting) that writing has significantly impacted our capacity for growth in terms of knowledge even when for most of history very few people were literate. Our success can obviously be attributed to other factors like our hands and storytelling abilities which predate homo-sapiens. The main idea of what i was saying is that we aren’t that unique, unless you value our tools, structures and knowledge over other animal’s. Of course my ideas should be taken with a fistful of salt and my lack of nuance is just a by product of writing condensed comments which seem to ramble on anyway. (More notes: I didn’t insinuate any idea of things just happening out of nowhere, the fact of people building on what came before them was central to my comment but i also included animals ability to inherit (from birth) knowledge, such as birds and their nests or navigation. When i was mentioning brain size it wasn’t to correlate it with intelligence it was to give examples of animals, and obviously pointed out that brain size doesn’t matter when talking about intelligence of insects. In fact it seems your comment is an extension on mine, maybe I’m the one who mixed up your comment)

It does if your intentions are to increase the wellbeing of the group and the current leader is not fulfilling that role.

@@NickDe3 And if you're a member of that very group, then you still benefit from deposing the current leader. Nice try though.

@Val Empathy is still not technically altruistic though since it's to alleviate your own ego's existential angst.

@@Navesblue Altruism as we observe it in nature benefits the group and by proxy the self in many cases. It's an evolutionary trait that protects a group. Just because you end up getting benefits doesn't mean the act was not empathetic in nature. The research I've read suggests that altruistic behavior is emotionally rewarding, even taking a bullet for someone gives you the satisfaction of knowing they will live on, therefore there are still benefits to be had. True altruism may not exist. Do we need true altruism if we still have acts that benefit the wellbeing of the group?

@@NickDe3 It's a self-defeating concept through and through. If the only reason you're caring about the wellbeing of others is for your own immediate or long term gain, then that pretty much neutralizes the very premise of doing it for the sake of others. You essentially can't be more empathetic beyond your own return gains.

Your mother.

😂😂😂 separating urself from realit and ur cousins and imagining a magical super parent.

Humans are primates dude. Did you skip basic biology class?

Except you are a monkey. We all are catarrhine monkeys, including the chimpanzees in this video. You finding it offensive doesn't make it any less true.

That’s what they said in the video

No

Creepy.

And yet he is extremely popular

Scary creatures

Humans are nightmares. Humans kill for no reason, they harm for no reason. They fight for no reason... so humans are the monsters

@@SofiaBerruxSubs I partially agree.

@@kapliger I'm just saying like both chimpanzees and humans can be agressive not all of them are..

They remind us of our more brutal past.

Yes you are just accept it

"I am not related to no animal!" Your nipples give it away-you are a mammal. And hey, we got hair all over our bodies. And accepting the infantile explanation "some magical being farted all life into existence" makes you one of the dimmest candles on the cake. The belief in imaginary beings is okay for toddlers, but as an adult you should be deeply ashamed to believe such nonsense.

There have been other human species which may have had as much 'free will' as we enjoy. We evolved the ability to believe in 'universal fictions' as it allowed us to cooperate in larger numbers. i.e you're not just from the neighbouring valley, you believe in the same god/symbols that I do, therefore we can get along. And of course over time, many people have used and manipulated these 'fictions' to serve their own purpose (or at least the purpose they feel is the correct one), hence God and Christianity, Islam etc.

I find it funny that god has created so many similar apes its almost like he made 10 different drawings and weren't satisfied with each one of them so he eventually gave up. What's the point of having chimpanzees, gorilla and orangutangs they are all look a likes. The same goes for birds and cats

@@ss-lz4me that’s why religion is BS and another product of community living. There’s even a certain group of chimps that does a sort of rain dance while it rains, but other groups around them in the same area don’t do that. Sounds like the beginnings of a religion. and it’s a learned behavior that’s passed down through the generations and not in the dna or “innate”

@@ss-lz4me bro please look up branching evolutions, you can believe god created evolution i don't care but there is an answer for this that isn't "god grabbed a crayon or something, i don't know!" 💀read a book sometime

As someone living in Turkey, I used to think that religious idiots are mostly found in the middle east...

I'm surprised that you didn't understood what it's meant by it when the expression "chimpanzees are just like us". Seriously did you really fought the title meant 100% like humans? Let me explain: it's a way of saying. Just when people say that Indians like spicy food that doesnt mean every single person. It's about the overall picture that we have trades and almost similar skeleton that makes us close and of course our behaviour aswell

Chimps have shown to be fiercely territorial, and are known to mark territory with landmarks and objects (aka boarders), almost like humans with the concept of nations and states. Also chimps have been proven to use stone tools and projectiles, which is monumental in the animal kingdom. Just because chimpanzees don't walk upright, and drive cars like us, doesn't mean we're "nothing like eachother"

They hug, they speak, they use tools, they have most of the same emotions, they can use language and sign language, you are shortsighted at best and an idiot at worst lol

@@dinosaursorsomething6940 oh thanks. I thought the fact that we actually went to the moon separated us quite nice but I'm an idiot I guess. And what makes u think they have anything like our emotions

well yea. they are somewhat different from us. but when you compare us to any other animal, chimps are most similar. in both social way and morphologically. what you are comparing is like saying that penguins are not birds because birds have wings and fly. but penguins have flippers and swim

We have four legs too, the upper two are just specialized as grasping limbs, which is the same for apes.

@@spatrk6634 chimps tried to rip a ladies arm off as she went to feed them. do we do that?

Ong bruh they think evolution is fake but there's tons of proof of it

​@@AyeeeItsAlii sadly, they also can't accept the fact that we are also primates and animals 🦍🦧🐒
