Upright Bonobo walks upright, carries morning paper, looks it over Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Bonobo walks upright, carries morning paper, looks it over. All this bonobo needs for its morning activity is a cup of coffee.

The Bonobo, also called the Pygmy or Gracile Chimpanzee (Pan paniscus) belongs to the species (with the common chimpanzee) that is most closely related to humans. Its DNA is 98% identical to that of humans and some researchers think they should be classified with the human species, i.e., Homo paniscus. Bonobos have relatively long legs, a matriarchal cultural, and are generally considered frugivorous. They often walk upright and have a human-like appearance. Frans de Waal, one of the leading primate researchers, has stated that the bonobo is capable of empathy, kindness, altruism, and compassion. E. Savage-Rumbaugh and Roger Lewin have extensively studied the ability of the bonobo to learn language. Kanzi has learned over 3000 spoken English words and around 400 lexigrams. He can understand simple grammatical sentences and possibly invent new vocal sounds. The bonobo is also an accomplished tool user.

Many consider the bonobo to be the most closely related of all animals to people. The bonobo has been presented as a stand-in for what human ancestors of only a few million years looked like. With its pink lips, expressive face, high forehead, long, and neatly-parted, head hair, this animal looks very human. Its human appearance is even more accented by its highly individual facial features and its ability to walk upright with its back straight like a person and unlike the bent over posture of other apes. It is considered the most intelligent of all animals by many researchers. Individuals have been taught a vocabulary of as many as 400 words and are able to type using a special keyboard of geometric symbols. Bonobos can understand and respond to such complex commands as ones to take a bottle out of a refrigerator, open it, and put it on a table. Bonobo DNA is around 99-98 percent identical to our own.

Despite this closeness, the bonobo is one of the least recognized of any animal. This is because it was discovered in one of the most forbidden wildernesses of Africa in only 1928. Amazingly enough, this closest cousin was one of the very last large mammals to be discovered.The bonobo is remarkably intelligent.

these guys can write and communicate at a cognitive level of a 2 year old. I'm sad to see them in zoos in a way. On the other hand if they aren't protected some corporate dicks will probably train them to operate machines for food and a whole new slavery of a species will evolve. We've already done this with most horse breeds, and camels except nowadays a few repetitive buttons often achieve what horsepower was needed before in the world's industry.

too deep for this vid, just popped in my head

[IrenaScott]

They may be above a 2 year old human - maybe a 6 year old. But they can do things that people can't do.

[GTArandom]

cool what zoo is this?

[IrenaScott]

Columbus zoo in Ohio

[Neenatooke]

You're fucking stupid, urq121. Any ape on this planet will outsmart you in any instances of survival.

[Prov1210]

they are probably better companions than most people

[ojideagu]

@IrenaScott I doubt they are anywhere near 6 year old in terms of raw brainpower. Although they have "adult" awareness and common sense that human children have not yet learned.

[logik316]

Yes, but can he light a barbecue with it?

[SmokeTheHerb]

Extremely unlikely but still able to happen?

[fairyheli2]

@thelleht could it make a hybrid with down's syndrome?

[yenrabjb]

That one looks kinda like my uncle, I don't see any human-like features though.

[acr08807]

@IrenaScott Or that we're too ashamed to do in public.

[msnerfking]

@IrenaScott i'm guessing these will evole into morlocks

[DOMIDOOM]

no, the genes are incompatable. just like moose and dear.

[Marasma101]

@urq121 gross dude.
