Uploaded by tehinfidel on Dec 10, 2008
A montage of chimpanzees exhibiting human-like behaviour, meshed together from various clips and set to music.
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
-- On the Origin of Species, Chapter 14: Recapitulation and Conclusion

@jsuttonus You my friend, are a fucking retard. Time to let YOU die off. #1 Humans KILL each other over OIL and personal beliefs that have no evidence what so ever (religion). And you think apes should die off because they fling poop as an act of aggression. If you were locked in a cage your whole life, im pretty sure you would fling poop to. If apes ever go extinct, if wont be because they simply "died off" but more like "killed off". You are a no good worthless human being, people like u suck.

Fully opposable thumbs are such an important adaptation. Imagine how lost you'd be with chimp thumbs. Modern civilization would be impossible. No art, music, writing, tools, architecture, etc. Almost everything that defines us as humans can be traced back to the evolution of our finely tuned and fully opposable thumbs

@ritter89 All the great apes and old world monkeys have opposable thumbs. However, chimps (at least) have a much lower range of motion in their wrists than we do, so they can't, for example, hold a large bowl in front of them and pour it toward or away from them quite as easily, among other things.

Chimps (and possibly other great apes) also have self recognition. What other species has that?

@r0g3r I think you and OneEyedJack1970 are in violent agreement, just coming at it from different angles, that there are multiple intelligent species on Earth, some of them our very close relatives.
But to answer your question, so far, all of the great apes (except gibbons), bottlenose dolphins, orcas, elephants, and european magpies can pass the mirror test, and by doing so, exhibit self-recognition.
