The big lie is told at 2:04. The truth is found in Scriptures, that we have the same Designer and that's why we have similar characteristics. Man is made in God's image but the apes have no soul.
@Occupy4now that's not true since animals also go to heaven... they just dont have self-consciousness and only have intelligence of about a 5 years old..
@Occupy4now First , GOD is NOT a Human , Almighty he Is , To have a human/his creature/ image , Animal or human , We Are all the Same , But Human Is an Animal With Brain damage
Plus i love David Attenborough. Best documentary narrator ever. And has done some of the most insightful pictures of life. But science is bullshit right. And Darwin was a mad man.
@Bigpussycat5 No, no we arean't. We'll just fucking shot them, and it'll be no problem at all. All we need to do is look our front door and call the cops, problem solved. Monkeys have no fucking chance.
@BlueHoneysucklemoon Obviously you don't mean to equate black people to orang-utangs. Orangu-tangs are of course still apes, not humans, a million years apart from human beings.

@RetrousseRaptor No-one that matters. Also, not to be a dick, but fyi they're apes. General rule of thumb: monkeys have tails and apes do not, though there are exceptions, such as the Barbary macaque. Sorry, it's just a pet peeve of mine.
She couldn't hold the saw properly or cut with the blade perpendicular to the edge, i.e. she could not saw. Rather defeats Attenborough's claims of her being able to mimic what she had seen a human do.
@sahseeker well babies imitate what their parents do. Even if an orangutan can't do it properly, it's obviously imitating what it's seen people do. It has a general idea for what the humans are trying to accomplish, it just doesn't have the skill level.
also did you take a look a the saw? it's not made for orangutan hands
@TheRandomstuff12345 I have no problem with those who disagree with the theory we evolved from apes... I have a HUGE problem with those who SCOFF at it. To think that it's an impossibility is ridiculous and childish.
that's it Orangutan, i warned you to many times, I'm calling the Union about your disregard for safety. Your using that hammer and saw WAY to close to your baby
I visted an Orangutang sanctary in Indonesia. It looked a lot like this one. As I watched the apes I saw they were SO Human like that ,for me, they stopped being really clever animals and instead became rather stupid people. Weird feeling.

Yes, she's mimicked; she's even using soap, knowing that it cleans better, or does she? Where's the control in his argument, his theory? Did Ms Orangutaness try washing the clothes without the soap?
I swear, Ms Orangutan, you have to start doing your research on humans better without so many holes :))
@MegaCJ9 Ginger comes from cold countries where the DNA realises it doesnt need as much melanin to protect against the sun and can use that energy for things the body needs more like improved vision, brown fats to keep warm etc, maybe the first group of humans to leave africa for colder duller countries.became ginger.
It is also believed Neanderthals where red haired and posibly because they lived in forests in cold dull counties, it is also believed they bread with humans.
@TraceurMeeka Actually we also bred with them. Evidence shows that people who are of white or asian descent have a decent chunck of dna comparable to the neanderthal. Not only we kill them off, we're also hybrids.
@Redskinsfan12609 That's not true. They may not be as successful as some species that may evolve from them, but just because evolution takes place doesn't mean they automatically become extinct. We have moved across the world and grown in population, while great apes are much rarer and who knows may become extinct because of us. We evolved from apes, it is a fact. We share 99% of chimpanzee DNA, in fact they think it would be possible to breed with them (though no one is mad enough to try it).
We evolved from apes the same way that tigers and lions evolved from an earlier generation os a generalised set of animals known as cats. Tigers and lions are still cats, and we are still apes, the same way birds are still dinosaurs.
@Redskinsfan12609 I'm afraid you have the wrong impression of evolution. The common ancestor that we share with an orangutan was an ape, but it wasn't an orangutan. Nor was it a chimp, or a bonobo or a gorilla. It was the common ancestor of bonobos, chimps, humans, orangutans and gorillas. This animal is not around today because the population of that animal has become the populations of the apes I mentioned earlier. They are collectively the same population.
I give him props for having the courage to sit next to a great ape that has several times the strength of an average man and, on top of that, has the ability to use tools like saws and hammers. This is all while the orangutan was holding both a saw and a hammer.
@CraftCast1: They're wonderful creatures, we can learn so much from them. They merit both scholarly attention and the attention of ordinary folk, because they are so much like us and yet, they're so peaceful, unlike us. Orangs are not inclined towards violence and aggression the way the robust chimp and sapiens is. If we could take one message away from studies of the orang, it is that we must try to adopt a sharing, peaceful disposition if we are to remain on this planet.
@fargonebewdy: How do you know what they believe about the natural world? How do you know whether they believe in any sort of spiritual realm, or if they're capable of it? Religion isn't a universal poison; it's an extremely useful and integral social system in many non-western cultures. The history of the west is a history of opposing secular and religious agendas, that doesn't make religion a poison.
@doodleplop800: You clearly have an extremely limited perspective on the issue. Education is useful for us here in the west; not necessarily so in some non-western societies. I'd encourage you to do some reading on the sociocultural anthropology of religion. You can't engage this issue without a cross-cultural perspective. Denouncing religion as universally useless and detrimental is a mistake. I agree that here in western society it is a hindrance, but this isn't the case the whole world over.
Surely learning about the world and the universe in a logical and scientific way is far more useful that being told myths about the world from an ancient cult?
@doodleplop800: No, it isn't necessarily, as I said above^. You need to know a little something about the anthropology of religion before you engage in this sort of discussion. Religion is a fundamental social glue for many non-western societies, and history shows that the minute missionaries or explorers, or colonialists go into some society and start imposing western educational values upon the people, their society winds up severally degraded and essentially in shambles. Your valuing reason
@doodleplop800: and logic, and the scientific method is at base, a cultural value. We belong to a culture that is becoming ever-more highly intellectual, but there are costs to this as well - we don't get off scott-free. In other societies, reason, logic, and science can be either unknown or not valued in the same way they are here, and those societies prosper nonetheless. It is ethnocentric to think that reason and logic are the be-all and end-all. Ethnocentrism. Look it up.
@doodleplop800 Why create a false dichotomy as such, a choice between myth or Western scientific rationality? I agree with what McTaggStar has said already, and would like to add that intellectual traditions of other areas--like India, for example--have long blended various aspects of human experiences into their study of the world. It has only been the post-Enlightenment Western world which has felt compelled to completely eschew all experiences outside of the empirical.
Isn't that progressive? Experiences outside of the empirical are false. Me tripping my balls of on a halluciogenic is a human experience, but it doesn't mean it stems from reality. If something can hold up to the scientific method then hoorah! Rejoyce and let it's lesson be learnt and taught. Religion is no more than stories and those who try to determine the world in such a way are ignorant and detrimental to the progression of humanity as a whole.
@doodleplop800 Saying "experiences outside of the empirical are false," is incredibly short-sighted. Do you honestly believe, by extension of your statement, that only that which we verify empirically is true? Not surprisingly, you cling very tightly to the scientific method as the pinnacle of human thought. Realize that science is a religion itself. And before you assume I'm a religious fanatic, I'll inform you that I'm an atheist and do not affiliate myself with any religion; including science
@alspageddi science is by definition the opposite of religion. well, safely you might not get the whole truth, but what can you do in the road than propose plausible theories, that are supported experimentally, how can a theory, even in it's vague lines be false as you say if it is empirically proven. how can something empirically proven be not the case? there might be more to discover about a certain truth, but nonetheless religion is a final answer for everything so alone it has no value
@RockOnHellas Unfortunately Youtube doesn't have a good format for having long debates, so it's getting tiresome to continue this debate. You both make good points, and I've enjoyed discussing this topic with you. I'm certainly not against science, and oppose those who wish to teach creationism in place of evolutionary biology in public schools in the United States. But over the years I've begun to question the seemingly unsulliable position we've afforded science in Western society.
@alspageddi I understand that most possibly you don't dismiss religion for social reasons and so on. However this is also a philosophical debate. The problem is that we give things higher values than the ones they really have, for instance in my view I dont believe metaphysical explanations for every detail of our lives would be needed. Apparently the most safe way to progress is science, because it is totally empirical, without dismissing morals at the same time.
@alspageddi Religion doesn't seem to have anything new to bring to the table. You cannot approach anything with something unapproachable, it just doesnt make any sense. Leaving a possibility for an intelligent factor that we cannot comprehend, to exist in our universe, not to go further in detail, is scientific aswell. Anyway, nice talking to you. I know you dont support superstition above science, what I want to finish the debate with is that no individual shall let it, brings us nowhere.
How in any way is Science a religion? Please explain yourself. I don't care if you're an atheist or not, it's irrelevant.
If you wish to understand my deep seated hatred for religion, read God is not great: How religion poisons everything. This book will highlight the sort of area that my hatred comes from. In fact, anything that Christopher Hitchens has to say about religion will almost always be the same as I think.

@CraftCast1: They're wonderful creatures, we can learn so much from them. They merit both scholarly attention and the attention of ordinary folk, because they are so much like us and yet, they're so peaceful, unlike us. Orangs are not inclined towards violence and aggression the way the robust chimp and sapiens is. If we could take one message away from studies of the orang, it is that we must try to adopt a sharing, peaceful disposition if we are to remain on this planet.

@fargonebewdy: How do you know what they believe about the natural world? How do you know whether they believe in any sort of spiritual realm, or if they're capable of it? Religion isn't a universal poison; it's an extremely useful and integral social system in many non-western cultures. The history of the west is a history of opposing secular and religious agendas, that doesn't make religion a poison.

You say religion is useful? It's about as useful as a mahogany frying pan.
Religion is detrimental to everything. What is useful is education and the pursuit of knowledge.

@doodleplop800: You clearly have an extremely limited perspective on the issue. Education is useful for us here in the west; not necessarily so in some non-western societies. I'd encourage you to do some reading on the sociocultural anthropology of religion. You can't engage this issue without a cross-cultural perspective. Denouncing religion as universally useless and detrimental is a mistake. I agree that here in western society it is a hindrance, but this isn't the case the whole world over.

Surely learning about the world and the universe in a logical and scientific way is far more useful that being told myths about the world from an ancient cult?

@doodleplop800: No, it isn't necessarily, as I said above^. You need to know a little something about the anthropology of religion before you engage in this sort of discussion. Religion is a fundamental social glue for many non-western societies, and history shows that the minute missionaries or explorers, or colonialists go into some society and start imposing western educational values upon the people, their society winds up severally degraded and essentially in shambles.

@doodleplop800: and logic, and the scientific method is at base, a cultural value. We belong to a culture that is becoming ever-more highly intellectual, but there are costs to this as well - we don't get off scott-free. In other societies, reason, logic, and science can be either unknown or not valued in the same way they are here, and those societies prosper nonetheless. It is ethnocentric to think that reason and logic are the be-all and end-all. Ethnocentrism. Look it up.

@doodleplop800 Why create a false dichotomy as such, a choice between myth or Western scientific rationality? I agree with what McTaggStar has said already, and would like to add that intellectual traditions of other areas--like India, for example--have long blended various aspects of human experiences into their study of the world. It has only been the post-Enlightenment Western world which has felt compelled to completely eschew all experiences outside of the empirical.

Isn't that progressive? Experiences outside of the empirical are false. Me tripping my balls of on a halluciogenic is a human experience, but it doesn't mean it stems from reality. If something can hold up to the scientific method then hoorah! Rejoyce and let it's lesson be learnt and taught. Religion is no more than stories and those who try to determine the world in such a way are ignorant and detrimental to the progression of humanity as a whole.

@doodleplop800 Saying "experiences outside of the empirical are false," is incredibly short-sighted. Do you honestly believe, by extension of your statement, that only that which we verify empirically is true? Not surprisingly, you cling very tightly to the scientific method as the pinnacle of human thought. Realize that science is a religion itself. And before you assume I'm a religious fanatic, I'll inform you that I'm an atheist and do not affiliate myself with any religion; including science

@alspageddi science is by definition the opposite of religion. well, safely you might not get the whole truth, but what can you do in the road than propose plausible theories, that are supported experimentally, how can a theory, even in it's vague lines be false as you say if it is empirically proven. how can something empirically proven be not the case? there might be more to discover about a certain truth, but nonetheless religion is a final answer for everything so alone it has no value

@RockOnHellas Unfortunately Youtube doesn't have a good format for having long debates, so it's getting tiresome to continue this debate. You both make good points, and I've enjoyed discussing this topic with you. I'm certainly not against science, and oppose those who wish to teach creationism in place of evolutionary biology in public schools in the United States. But over the years I've begun to question the seemingly unsulliable position we've afforded science in Western society.

@alspageddi I understand that most possibly you don't dismiss religion for social reasons and so on. However this is also a philosophical debate. The problem is that we give things higher values than the ones they really have, for instance in my view I dont believe metaphysical explanations for every detail of our lives would be needed. Apparently the most safe way to progress is science, because it is totally empirical, without dismissing morals at the same time.

@alspageddi Religion doesn't seem to have anything new to bring to the table. You cannot approach anything with something unapproachable, it just doesnt make any sense. Leaving a possibility for an intelligent factor that we cannot comprehend, to exist in our universe, not to go further in detail, is scientific aswell. Anyway, nice talking to you. I know you dont support superstition above science, what I want to finish the debate with is that no individual shall let it, brings us nowhere.

How in any way is Science a religion? Please explain yourself. I don't care if you're an atheist or not, it's irrelevant.
If you wish to understand my deep seated hatred for religion, read God is not great: How religion poisons everything. This book will highlight the sort of area that my hatred comes from. In fact, anything that Christopher Hitchens has to say about religion will almost always be the same as I think.
