  • The only thing that separates us from other primates is our language capability. This is what allowed us to evolve into what we are today.

  • so we just asked each other to evolve?

    thats what you're implying...

  • Are you serious .......are language skills slowly evolved allowing us to pass valuable info to one another and from generation to generation. This ability to communicate is what separated us from the other primate species like the neanderthal whose language capability was not as advanced.

    With out the evolved ability to communicate via language. Human communities would greatly resemble family groups of chimpanzees and gorillas in terms of behavior. Struggling to survive with limited tool use.

  • Fascinating!

  • with the big bang n_n

  • i saw this before...

    i think national geographic re-uploaded this vid lolol

  • It's probably more like people are unevolved white gorillas.

  • umm okey...

  • ok people stop making the humans dumb like monkeys even in a zillion years monkeys will remian monkeys cut the crap

  • Most of them ARE smarter than us. Humans have lost the nessecity for thinking, so we don't anymore. At least not about survival or new inventions. It's all 'what new tv show will come out next'...

  • i am jealous of these apes being smart asz

  • testing the comments

  • hey CandianMan123 ur an idiot!holding the human race BACK?!what are you a Genius?!!!your Fucking retarded!

  • Oh please! Just because they use their instincts doesnt mean they are related to us! Evolution is a weak theory that cannot ever be fully justifed! Lions run to catch their food, ohhh wow they must be related to us too right? Stupid dumb modern-age theories. God created both us and science. Any other theory is bogus.

  • The process of thinking that you hold, is the process of thinking that holds the human race back. There is no way to proove that a god exists, yet there is no way to proove that a god doesnt exist. All that matters is that you open your mind to different possibilities.

  • There are billions of people out there who believe in my same opinion, so your saying that we ALL hold back the human race?! And excuse me but, who are you to say that anyway? Since when did YOU know what does and doesnt hold back the human race? Suddenly you know everything about how the human body works and evolves?! There is proof that God exists! Im not having a go at you but this evolution theory really is stupid and baseless. Just coz a type of animal is clever, it doesnt prove the theory!

  • No you are incorrect. Yes I agree with you that there are billions of people that believe in god, but more then 50% of those people believe in evolution. Why cant evolution and god both exist? It is possible. Evolution has piles of evidence that proove it exists, but there are holes in its theories. Just like god, there is some evidence that it exists, but there are holes in that theory as well. So we cant be certain can we?

  • god is man creations, not reverse x) god is something that man created to explain fenomenon and mantain order in the tribes, in a logical way, god doesnt exist, but still i would convince religious ones with my talking, they r too blind to even think twice

  • thats your opinion. i think that YOUR too blind to even think twice...

  • nah ive think more than one time, with 5 years i thinked that god was dumb xD how came there are still adults that believe in god? its same thing as believing in santa claus

  • Believing in God doesnt involve being a certain age! Faith is for all life & eternity. Your theory of santa claus is stupid, seriously. Even if you think God was mans creations, well your contradicting your own beliefs coz evolution was mans creations too!

  • lol, we r aprt ofc evolution like other animals xD santa claus is a real as god, like invisible pink unicorn!

  • yeh ok then, your ancestor might have been a spotty toad or a hairy ass monkey or red-assed baboon. LOL. but my ancestors were humans beings, im allright with my beliefs thank you very much! :D

  • actully ur probable long time ancestors were austolipitecus, and ur genetic cousin are the chimps. and in one time we were sponges!

  • yeh ok and apes once ruled the planet...right?

  • actually nope, we never ruled the planet, we r one with planet, actully i see humans now like a cancerous disease, what a shame we had soo much to give

  • Wow! :)

  • A female orangutan was filmed doing the same thing before going in the water and using herself as a bridge for her baby, (measuring depth of water using tool) and made public last year.

    And also, Orangutans can learn american sign language to communicate with humans. (I'm pretty sure chimpanzees and gorillas can too)

  • Not entirely true about ASL. As far as I know about studies on Chimpanzees, they could learn ASL but use it in pre-generated patterns, without actually "arranging" the signs to express new requests. This means they could only "say" a few sentences that were taught to them. So it's not like they could speak freely in ASL :)

    (I'm a linguistics student)

  • This qualifies as important research? Hardly Nobel Prize worthy.

  • If only they could speak English.

  • whats with the t anyway?

  • WOW

  • T, what an amazing and original title for a video.

  • t......?
