Sadly, by confining this chimpanzee, we're interrupting evolution. This chimpanzee is a genetic variation that in its natural habitat would successfully breed and propagate its genes.
0:55 If my horse will neigh to call me out of the house when it is around the time he usually eats. I don't always go out immediately, so he isn't always rewarded. If he sees me gathering equipment for an outing, he will get in the horse trailer and "call me" because he likes going to the park. Is he not planning for a future event?
1:28 If non-humans weren't capable of closing their eyes and seeing a world around them, dogs wouldn't be able to have dreams where they are showing emotion.
@pmarie2003 I think the point is that the chimp makes plans for a future mental state. He remembers being agitated at the visitors when they snap pictures of him, so he calmly fashions little "stone missilies" after closing time and stores them in a special area. Come the next day, he recovers them and initiates the attack.
That's clearly more complex than a horse calling upon seeing your outing-equipment. This chimp's planning doesn't reflect an immediate need, and that marks the difference.
It strikes me as ironic that there are primates using this youtube posting to argue their not primates but something else created by god. Case of self hate maybe. My suggestion: have a banana and some herbal tea...and if the mood strikes...hang from a tree.
Im gonna meet Santino on tuesday :D Its gonna be very intreresting! My class is going on a bunch of lectures at Furuvik... Chimps are the most amazing creatures! ( a lot better than human..) Can't wait! :D
Humans didn't evolve from apes. Humans and apes evolved separately from a common ancestor. Is the thought of that threatening to you as a creationist?
FACT: Science never threatens creationism. Ne discoveries do though continue to erode the THEORY of evolution.
Rosalita57, Do a little research and try and figure out why humans are the only 'primate' without a baculum. And don't fob it off and do a cut and paste from some website or other, put some time and effort into the research.

That's your research?
FACT: A theory does not become a FACT simply because the proponents of the theory say it is. It remains a THEORY.
Stop hiding in semantics and do the research. WOuldn't you like to know if you've been lied to all these years simply because a handfull of men had an agenda?
I only commented because your interjection about creationism struck me as condescending and completely out of place. The commenters here were sharing their wonder and curiosity. Then from left field you suggest they feel threatened because their faith and/or science doesn't imbue them with as healthy an ego as you have.

Agreeing to disagree is fine and a good compromise. But can I say that creationism is not out of left field. The whole premise about why this monkey is special is because monkeys are supposed to be less evolved and not able to reason, As I said originally, this phenomenon is not suprising if you don't hold to that argument.
I don't want to debate creationism v. evol., although I would like to see your sources for proof that Adam gave his penis bone (rib) to Eve, thereby explaining the absence of a baculum in humans.
Interesting idea, but seeing as the rib (the one in the chest) has a wonderful sheath around it which will grow a new rib if left intact I would suggest that it probably wasn't the baculum
It is different because in the example of wolves, it can easily be explained by a type of genetic programming. But in the case of this chimp, throwing stones at human visitors obviously isnt a genetic trait, and so it cannot be explained in the same way. That would be my quick thoughts about it anyway.
Yes indeed, behavior like connecting nuts by squirels, is indeed instinctive behavior, but this behavior of the chimp, is real planning, just as in humans.
Chimps are smarter than the human animal, I am not surprised

This is only surprising if you believe that mankind evolved from apes and therefore apes (being less evolved) must be less intelligent than humans.
A creationist has no problem with an intelligent ape and his humanity and his uniqueness in creation are certainly not threatened.
