How close does primate behaviour come to that of humans? Danny tests some chimps to see if they'll co-operate in the quest for food. Free animal video from BBC Worldwide.

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

  • 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)!

  • Amazing! That was amazing

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • then you arent smarter then a chimp lol gratz

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