The Fascinating Chimpanzee

I felt like making a video on something interesting, and I found nature incredibly interesting. I've always loved primates, especially chimps, and I find it amazing how similar they are to us. Personally, I believe we evolved from them but I'm not forcing people to believe that in this video. It is merely some facts about chimpanzees, one or two inspiring quotes and some beautiful pictures that might just get you thinking.

Great video. Wonderful. Brilliant info and insight. Questions we all need to be asking, answering and understanding.

Personally, not the best song I would have choosen. But who cares. It's not the point of my response.

It's a great message we all need to think about and discuss. An outstanding video. A+A+A+

Thank you! I was looking for more of an instrumental song but could not find one. What songs would you of suggested? It wasn't my favourite choice, but the best I could find. Thank you again, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

they are animals,my dog can look at me the same way,they will tear your face off,there is no soul in a monkey,it just happens to be a similiar two armed two leg creature that has some same dna,we are all earthlings you should expect that,bet we are related to a cow too,a whale.a fish,when a human fetis starts growing it has gills.but chimps are the closet thing to us,but if anything they came from us

Chimpanzees are the "people of the forest". They need to have rights so that killing them is murder and transporting them and holding them in small cages, and doing research on them is torture and enforced and punished as such.

It seems that are looking forward to ensiminate a chimp))))

Like previous comments, chimps do have a sort of 'spiritual reaction' to rain and waterfalls. Hopefully more research on this. Years ago, we thought one of the differences in man and chimps was the ability to make and use tools. Now we know different. Man has evolved from the same tree yet obviously on a different branch. These different and common traits of all seven great apes just fasinate me.

I also am studying non human primates.

If we are ever going to progress, we have to take off the rose colored glasses, and stop having tunnel vision....and we need to get them out of the research labs....

Jaymann411: Your quoting something that has been translated from Aramaic and apparently was lost in translation through European monarchs.

Just because it is written does not imply that it is fact.

It's awesome that chimpanzes and humans share so much common DNA. Apparently that 1.5% difference is AMAZINGLY important. It'sawesome that chimps have emotions and can use tools. Super great. And wow, we've found intelligent life here on Earth after so many years of searching. I'm not sure what this video is a refutation of... seems to have an agenda. Are we saying then that chimps are the same as us despite WILDLY different physical characteristics?Oh wait, relIGION! I forgot. Screw that noise

You people are so arrogant. What makes you think that you are smarter, or more educated than real paleoanthropologists?

These people are real scientists who actually DO real bona fide field work and use the scientific method. They don't hide inside churches, sing hymns and quote scriptures all day and claim to have all the answers.

Hope this helps. Warm regards.

Uh huh sure. Whatever you say, professor fuck-wit ;)

Warm regards.
