  • I love how he explains to the children that the bonobo is an ape not a monkey, yet even the adults continue to call the bonobo a monkey. It's amazing how ignorant some people are

  • At some point like 3:35 to 3:40 the bonobo thumps to Dr. SC but looks back over its shoulders...it is just trying to multi-task and look at its fellow creatures, or it is actually (it almost appears) pointing to Dr. SC while trying to tell its fellow bonobos, "check this out"? Makes you wonder

    Anyway nice vid.

  • What a lovely creature, i mean person.

  • why the glass?

  • @Beenyad Humans are the last of the genus Homo, while chimps and gorillas are close, but are not the same genus as us.

  • @wrylie188 The man is right. We are Great Apes.

  • fapfapfapfapfapfapfap!!!!

  • @wrylie188 You can't link in YouTube comments. Google 'Hominidae' if you don't believe me (which is actually generally not required, since it is a general fact, not a scientific claim). It is the taxonomical term used when describing the Great Ape family, which includes orangutangs, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans. You don't even have to lok at the Wikpedia page, there are plenty of sources that state the same.

  • @Murglie You can't make a claim like that without proof to back it up. If you would like to provide a link to the article that makes such a claim with scientific evidence, I would be more than happy to read it.

  • @wrylie188 taxonomically, yeah, we're classified as Great Apes

  • @Murglie We did not evolve from apes and we are not apes. Humans and apes have a common ancestor, which means at some point an apelike ancestor split into at least two groups and each group evolved seperately, one group into apes, the other into humans.

  • @Murglie what the hell? no no no i was just striking against the correlation that we evolved from modern apes like the creationist right wing claim! i never said that bonoboes and humans were not related! quite the opposite
