Chimpanzee Problem Solving by Cooperation
Loading...
Uploaded by tehinfidel on Dec 7, 2008
A brief, interesting clip from National Geographic's "Ape Genius" documentary, demonstrating problem solving skills in chimpanzees, by requesting cooperation.
Also shows chimpanzees providing assistance to humans, by noticing assistance is needed, and retrieving out of reach objects for their human companions.
As time goes on, it becomes more and more obvious that the great apes are our evolutionary cousins. I would hope everyone viewing this would be able to share in my astonishment and awe at the brilliance displayed by these amazing creatures.

we did not evolve from chipanzee Chimpanzees evolved from us ...
-
Most breeds of monkeys, ape, primate, or whatever, show that humanlike characteristic of hugging or other types of affection with each other as well as their human caretakers.
-
They never went into if they develop the ability to help other Chimpanzee. I would think not. Most likely is that they will always see the other chimp as a treat(not physical). I'd imagine the chimp knows that the Human is the one that feeds him, so he doesn't have to compete with the human for the food and thus asking for help to obtain it

@manwithoutstar I find 01:14 and 01:50 way better. Shows that animals aren't so different from us. Kinda sad to think about how we treat animals, even after this discovery.
