Wild chimpanzees get a human test in teamwork and sharing- BBC wildlife

[BeakyRed]

Amazing! That was amazing

[DramaticAarony]

I suppose everyone is wondering what happened to the mad chimp who ran off with the rope, well, he hung himself.

[YouPlayer911]

This was wat my teacher was talkin about. Wat seperates humans and animals is compassion

[SepherStar]

@YouPlayer911 Dolphins, Meerkats, Bonobos, Elephants. They all demonstrate compassion and altruism just like humans.

you wouldn't call your cousin your brother or your sister it same goes for chimps they are a different species are ancestors went a different way then chimps. Most likely in another million years there will be another race or two descended from humans

[luke19verse27]

i guess it's hard, but the sample size is bananas, and the backgrounds of the chimps ain't specified in the clip. Totally new stimuli? If so, a human would be confused, I hypothesise. Whatever construct/s are being examined, a control group should surely have a goup of humans that has been raised since infancy in the same conditions as the chimps. Anyway I'm sure the authors of the presentation have heard this stuff before.

I guess there's no socialism in the Chimp world. This one must be a capitalist for sure. LOL

[Baxion5]

Stupid humans and chimps. All you have to do is tie one end of the rope to the bars. Then pull the other rope to slide the box forward. Duh

[Omid45]

i mean shit if i could use somebody to get something that i couldn't otherwise get at all my self, i'd rather share and get some, but if i could get it all with no help, fuck that it's all mine lol

[thecommonnate]

but what if the person you could share with is beating at the cage behind you

[Omid45]

so let him do it. As long as i'm on the other side safe. What's the problem.

[132BigBoy]

then you arent smarter then a chimp lol gratz

[LosDosPistoles]

interesting...

[chessmonk]

The commentator might only be as smart as a chimp... Why not simply tie one end around a bar, and then pull the other end of rope, adjusting the tied end as needed?

[benjaminjean1984]

Or why not phone magiver and ask him what he'll do :)

[honda1386]

Are they scientists? are they proving anything?

[bluecobalt27]

Haha, I like how it refused to share the bananas - that was the most humanoid behaviour of all!

[LazyPants09]

So...only chimps and people work together. >_> Where is this man, so the I can congratulate him on his amazing observations of almost science and his almost humans. Almost being something is just as good as actually being it...sure.

[palagg666]

chimps are humans too. Most squirrels separated 9-11 million years ago are in the same genus. Human and chimps separated 4-6 million years ago. So they should be in the same genus, Homo(human). Chimps are NOT people and nether are Homo sapiens. Were all just a bunch of chimps(litterally)!

[Snowman374th]

That's what a yard ape, would say. hahaha
