Your Life as a Chimp 

"You are now an adult chimp and no one likes you anymore." That hit too close for comfort.

Idk why was this in my recommendations, but I'm so happy it was

This is just being a human but in 144p

Just remember that the leader or alpha male is not always the strongest and meanest. They can also be empathetic and protect weaker members of the clan and settle disputes, and thus gain support through acting as a leader. There are mean alphas aswell, but it dose not end well for the bully when they no longer are the strong one. Its usually in the groups intrest not to have a big bully as a leader. Females can also hold big influence in the groups by rallying all the other females.

You're gonna need to make more of these "Your life as an animal" videos, they're great!

Now we need your life as a bonobo, gorilla and orangutan

I've always aspired to be a chimp, thanks to you I now know what to expect.... I no longer want to be a chimp :(

Okay but can we talk about how clever they are to use sticks to inspect bodies?

Iirc, scientists found that chimps raised in captivity and then released to the wild, outside of the typical patriarchal social structure of wild chimps, were a lot kinder to each other. Could say something about how violence is a perpetual cycle in animals just as much as it is in humans

No other species has been known to show such violence towards their females... Except humans. That hit hard😮😢

bruh , if you keep making videos like this your channel will blow up in no time

You can replace every time he says chimp with human and you’d be 98% accurate

2:36 what a spectacular creature

This was random, but yeah its weird how despite our differences chimps are still quite similar to us, i guess we just learned empathy is stonger than you'd expect but are still stupidly selective about it

(Editing my comment just for one of my replies. When I say "less evolved" than humans, what I mean is chimps arent as advanced or complex as hominins, and what I describe is what some experts believe is one thing that holds them back from evolving into something more humanlike) I remember reading on anthropology and they had a chimp expert chime in to say that the main thing holding chimps back from evolving into something more advanced like early species of human is the fact that so many of them do not have the same kind of empathy that humans and even dogs have. For example, you're taking a walk in the park one day and you see someone off the trail who has been pinned under a fallen tree and is begging you desperately to help them. If you're a normal human, theres something inside of you that says you cant just ignore this, and you either attempt to help or call someone to help, even though you do not know this person, they are a stranger to you. And if you DONT help for what ever reason, you may struggle for many years to live with the fact that someone was begging you to save their life and you didnt do anything, and just left them there. Their cries may haunt you in your memories for the rest of your life. This his how the average human is. The human species does have its violent members but the average functioning human does not want to see another human suffer, and will want to help a person who they see is in immediate danger, even if that person is a stranger to them. The human will have the desire to help another human even if the human helping does not receive anything in exchange for helping. We have seen this play out in situations where there is a car accident and someone is pinned under a car, and several people stop their cars on the side of the road and get together to help lift the car off of the person, even though none of them know each other. This is an extremely unique trait among humans as most animals in the wild will only try to rescue members of its own pack/herd/troop The chimp experts chimps are not like humans in this regard. The average chimp could be sitting on a riverbank and eating fruit, and if it sees another chimp drowning but that chimp is a stranger to the first chimp, that first chimp will not have any instinct or desire to even reach its hand out to save the drowning chimp, even if there is no danger or downsides to helping that other chimp. The chimp will continue what its doing while the other chimp drowns. This chimp would only help other chimps if it already knew that chimp, such as it being a member of its own troop. Experts believe that the reason empathy helped humans evolve was because being only concerned for oneself or ones own group would lead to less cooperation, which would mean overall less members of the species would survive. Human empathy would help in the evolution of language and cooperation and tool use. Empathy also helps us find ways to communicate with other humans who cannot communicate with spoken language, which means more people could be helped and would survive. You couldnt call humans a truly evil species without ignoring the fact that there are people who are able to thrive with disabilities thanks to their fellow humans, disabilities that are normally a death sentence in the animal kingdom

The timing and editing on this video was definitely an improvement compared to the last one.

Im actually really happy to see you make a full on draw my life video on chimps, they’remy number 1 favourite animals yet i find it pretty difficult to research properly about them so a video like this that puts it in bite-sized easy to digest content is appreciated 👍

Saw one of these buggers close to my home one day. He tried climbing my tree but I hurled my lucky rock at his head from my nest. The weird, hairless, tall and lanky chimp fell pretty hard. He made weird throat noises and ran away. Chimps 1. Hairless Chimps 0.

“Life as an animal” is absolutely incredible! The way this series combines humor with insightful details about life as different animals is brilliant. The drawings are hilarious, and the creator’s style is just amazing. I can’t get enough of it-I really hope they make a million more videos like this! I’m definitely sharing this with all my friends and can’t wait to watch more episodes with my daughter. This series is a gem!

I like this. I've seen a lot of channels try to copy the Sam onilla style. But this one's more unique, I like it. Keep doing what you're doing mate

just discover this channel, and as an animal lover and zoo goer im in it! can you do your life as a pangolin next? i love pangolins

Than this is so nostalgic, thank you to bring back the old times

i already enjoy your choice/form of narrating and deadpan monologue immediatley subscribed

The chimp life sounds close to that of humans. Straight bananas.

"No other species has shown this much aggression towards females" Male ducks: Male dolphins: Male sea otters:

Why does this resonate with me

These are great hope you find time to make more of these as man i loves the 2 you made so far

Compared to most other primates, or even mammals as a whole, even in most developing countries, us humans treat women comparatively well. Not saying women weren’t historically disadvantaged, but at the same time, they (usually) weren’t included in drafts, and they are generally the ones that choose which man will be their partner, and not vice versa.

I think you've struck gold with this format

you know what, i dont wanna reject humanity and return to monkey

This is perfectly up my alley, I have no idea why RU-vid didn't recommend me you sooner.

now show me my life as a happy human being in a meaningful relationship and a good enough paying job

Think i have found my favourite youtube channel

Fongoli chimp females are the primary hunters of that culture, with females teaching their children to make sharp sticks and hunt with them

you channel is gonna blow up i can feel it in my bones

What a delightful little gem of a channel I've stumbled upon.😁

Amazing video, looking forward to seeing more uploads from this channel

OoOoh OoOoh- Monke 10 million years ago.

im biology student and once me and my friends started a conversation on animal cruelty and ethics. As ordinary biology students we have all experienced frog dissection and whatnot. So this girl said thats cruelty and started talkin about it. And then said i wouldnt do anything that bad to any animal except dolphins. They are bad and so on. I couldnt say there but dolphins get all that shit and most of other psycho animals left unnoticed. maan all those primates... aggression accompanies with sociality out there in wilds. no wonder we came from same origin

The fact that the bald chimp was Bezos and not joe rogan actually shocked me.

She didn’t have to throw out his little hat though 😢

TBF, the worst part about the human interactions is being taken to a laboratory.

This is a great video! You deserve more subs! Don't give up and keep making more vids!

You gotta make more of these. This was funny

being chimp is like being human but you are not the most evil animal on the planet

I can confirm the accuracy of this video

Female chimps do hunt. They also tend to use tools more often than males

Do bonobos next! They’re considered our other closest relative

I was wondering when you would get to the cannibalisms and violence, and I am glad you saved the punch line for later x)

Didn't expect this good of a video from such a small channel

2:49 "No other species has been observed to show this much violence towards their females" Ducks have entered the chat

watched chimp empire on Netflix and it is very good. w video I am excited for your next post

Finally a tutorial on how to return to monke

"A human could never beat a chimp in a 1v1!! Chimps are so much stronger than hu-" *the Glock-21 in my pocket*

0:48 lololol those are the worst humans

Hey, this content is unique, and I love your style, remember me when you get famous.

I as sent here by casual geogrphic, I liked the concept a lot. Keep them coming!

I have horrendous ADHD, and I made it to the end of the video. Congrats mate. Good.

You need to do one on Bonobos. Very different in behavior and actually slightly closer to humans than chimps are. Bonobos are led by Alpha females, who keep their sons in check. Bonobos and chimps are now mating and producing viable offspring. If this is possible, then they are still essentially the same species. And that species demonstrates the extremes of human behavior. I'd do one myself but I'm no good with graphics.

Very cool video style and ideas. Its like a casually explained/tierzoo crossbreed.

You should do a 'your life as a Bonobo next'. Include the gay sex and the fact that your mom will set you up with dates.

This channel is gonna soar. Keep it up

This was really good. Make more of these

This and the shoebill video are excellent, please make more of them!

would be fun to see the same with bonobos , but i dont think youtube would allow that

as a chimp this is mad accurate

I've been bingeing these since i found them earlier. I'm gonna need more

Imagine just chilling and then getting captured and experimented on by a bunch of hairless apes.

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY 🗣️

I just discovered this channel and I already wonder if he did a video about penguins. It has a potential to be the most "normal" episode

Top tier man. I think you figured it out. And now I need more of these

Way more similar to us than I was ready for. How sure are we that the first human community wasn't a bunch of people removing lice and ticks from each other😂

Unsure if self-idolatry should also be introduced to chimps through a camera/attention addiction. Animals in the wild who also recognize themselves in a mirror tend to self-obsess but insecurity does not seem to be a thing in non-humans. Self-worship was never a legitimate evolutionary step, but rather a mark of poor impulse-control and lack of understanding moderation.

Don't want to "return to monke" anymore, it is just like ours ~ less the salary....

2:00 just like highschool

As a human, I have one quote Wish we could turn back time to the good old days

I absloutely loved this video! You to make more "Your life as a _" videos!

Hey man, I just want to say keep it up! I’m glad I stumbled across you, I can’t wait for the next one

you made it to recomended on your 4th or 5th video thats very very good bro :) grind your buttcheeks red my guy and youll hit 100k subs by the end of the year 👍👍

This was so excellent. Few understand how similar chimps are to humans... Almost a hybrid of Chimpanzee and Bonobo.

I wish life was like this

Chimpin ain't easy man

Honestly, I think I'd much rather lead a life as a bonobo than a chimp. Their whole.. thing is just, so much more chill.

This channel is so underrated

Jeff bezos alpha lmao

Just go to Chicago

Great wee channel been loving this content reminds me of when I first stumbled upon tier zoo

Finally after weeks of watching Casually Explained, Sam O'Nella, Exurb1a, and searching 'why does RU-vids algorithm suck so bad', I got one more for the collection.

Reflecting Jeff Bezos personality to Chimp's is the understatement of the century. Compared against Trump, Tate, DeSantis, Putin, or Musk it should one of five in this video to be honest.

Came for the racism, stayed for the misogyny.

This gonna blow, calling it now!

The way these vids end are hilarious. 😂😂

Only men can like 👍🏻

The below is solely a hypothesis by a layman. Pre-Agricultural Revolution: Female homininians are generally not as physically strong as males and give birth to the most helpless primate offspring on Earth. Pregnant for 9 months + over a year of breastfeeding + a baby that needs carried and protected 24/7 = a mother unable to protect and feed herself and her offspring at the same time. The logical source of protection and nurturing for mom while she's protecting and nurturing the baby is the father. Since nature stuck mom unnegotiably with pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding, dad had to hunt and fight off predators while mom stayed at home. As fair a division of labor as possible given physical limitations and the technological limitations of the day. Not morally right from an educated perspective but a natural pattern for uneducated primitive homininians to fall into. Then the Agricultural Revolution happened. Post-Agricultural Revolution: Now homininians stay in one place growing food. Which leads to homininians developing private property (an evoluton of the common concept of territory and territoriality in the kingdom Animalia). The males' generally superior strength and lack of being hampered by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding (no birth control or social justice) allows them to take control. Next, the male homininians who now own private property want to leave it to their own offspring. But with no paternity tests or knowledge of anatomy or how conception works, how can you be sure a female's child is yours? You have to stop her from having sex with other males. How do you do that? You have to completely subdue them and make them subordinate to males. Eventually, the generations forget the reasoning behind this unequal relationship (if they were ever consciously aware of them at all), but the dominant sex enjoys it, so they have every reason to keep promoting and strengthening it. It eventually turns into the assumption or belief that this is the natural order of things, and any attempt to question or deviate from it is evil. People become more and more zealous about defending and maintaining this societal order without questioning why or if it's necessary or logical. Eventually, the idea that the system is a moral rule that it's wrong to deviate from has been around for so long that questioning whether the system is necessary or logical would be evil. Finally, it's been acceoted as the moral rule for so long that nobody even feels the need to question if it's necessary or logical. Thousands of years later, science and technology have eliminated ALL the conditions that led to female homininians being hampered by reproduction and raising offspring, making the male and female division of labor completely unnecessary and arbitrary. Birth control and paternity tests mean everyone can have sex as much as they want without a male being tricked into providing for another's offspring. All the conditions that motivated males to dominate females are gone (in first world countries, anyway). But it's to an organism's benefit to have a higher status than others do, so the males fight to maintain their dominant status, and there we are.

that’s a 10/10 drawing of a chimp right there, im just as scared of it as i am of real ones good job!

Do More Videos dude this is a great Series.

It's interesting that you chose "very violent" as a defining trait over, say, showing incredible ability to collaborate

I found you because a TT creator stole your great white video now I’m going to watch all of these 😎

was not ready for the jeff bezos jumpscare 😂

dont stop with this soncept, its lovely
