Did you know that chimpanzees show affection with meaningful gestures, just like us? Here are some examples of what we mean:

Then he was confronted with actual detailed primary research, going all the way back to chimpanzees;
showing how violating the social compact by assaulting one of the tribe had always been treated as heinous and leads to ostracism and death.
And he got SO MAD and sulked off talking about woke.

1/3 It seems that otters outperform chimpanzees in a well-known anticipation task.
This test uses a Y-shaped tube and is renowned for demonstrating the ability to predict an uncertain future with mutually exclusive possibilities

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but…
“DoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide”
…sure did the trick

3/3 The otters tested here (in practice, there were two otters) significantly outperformed the chimpanzees. The authors argue that this could be due to differences in foraging between the two species (their prey can escape in many ways).

2/3 It requires anticipating that the reward can come out of either of two exits, and using both hands. Chimpanzees only pass it after extensive training (otherwise they only use one hand), and children only master it between the ages of 4 and 5.

May I ask why you're ignoring and contradicting the scientific evidence? We'd only need 1/4 of the land currently used for agriculture, and a plant-only diet is recognized is being healthful.
Chimpanzees are mostly frugivores. But saying it's moral bc another animal does it is a fallacy.

The difference between common Chimpanzees and Bonobos is really fascinating
The Bonobos don't compete for resources and show virtually no volent behavior
Common Chimps, on the other hand, murder, rape, torture and go to war with weapons
Crazy...

Look, chimpanzees are fucking terrifying. Especially in captivity. Do I buy this as a real chimp in PRIMATE? Hell no. Still 100x better than cg would be. People-in-suits monsters rule. Give me all the people-in-suits creature features.
Anyway. Great gore. Intense sequences. Dumb people. Love it.

Young chimpanzees take more physical risks than adolescents, a study finds — frequently launching through trees despite injury risks.
Researchers suggest intensive human caregiving may help explain why human children show fewer early-life dangers.

Risk-taking comes earlier in chimpanzees than in humans, study finds
