Sympathy and empathy are poorly understood among researchers. Comforting an individual in distress is a sympathetic response that is performed to relieve the stress the observer is feeling through mirror neurons in the observer's brain. A hug or assistance will typically due. Empathy on the other hand is experienced in positive exchanges where mutual joy occurs in an empathetic exchange. Empathy is always accompanied by an oxytocin cocktail of dopamine, serotonin and endorphins.

[@danmosley4387]

@@victor.elkins As it so happens I know quite a bit about ten thousand and a million years in human evolution. For example in my research I trace the first empathetic response back to Central Europe roughly 15 Mya. This is when our hominin ancestors adapted to a bipedal feedback loop that was triggered by weather changes. It is also when our species shifted away from a status hierarchy into autonomous collaborative communities. These adaptations are being repeated by bonobos, western chimps both savanna and forest and multiple central African chimpanzee groups. All are responding to the same habitat profile that first appeared in Central Europe 15 Mya. Thanks for playing Victor.

Next the key chemical oxytocin was used by the first mammals roughly 300 million years ago to support maternal bonding which is the key to animals within social networks like humans.

Our survival is heavily reliant on what our past generations were able to build for us, animals are physically capable of surviving without such reliance.

Why do you people think things just happen to come about and are the reason for the chain of events afterward? Things happen for a reason, and what comes after happens as an extension of that reason. Humans are far too complex for every part of our history to be limited to “writing” especially since all civilizations were not a product of writing.

Our success can obviously be attributed to other factors like our hands and storytelling abilities which predate homo-sapiens. The main idea of what i was saying is that we aren’t that unique, unless you value our tools, structures and knowledge over other animal’s. Of course my ideas should be taken with a fistful of salt and my lack of nuance is just a by product of writing condensed comments which seem to ramble on anyway. (More notes: I didn’t insinuate any idea of things just happening out of nowhere, the fact of people building on what came before them was central to my comment but i also included animals ability to inherit (from birth) knowledge, such as birds and their nests or navigation. When i was mentioning brain size it wasn’t to correlate it with intelligence it was to give examples of animals, and obviously pointed out that brain size doesn’t matter when talking about intelligence of insects.

Chimps have shown to be fiercely territorial, and are known to mark territory with landmarks and objects (aka boarders), almost like humans with the concept of nations and states. Also chimps have been proven to use stone tools and projectiles, which is monumental in the animal kingdom. Just because chimpanzees don't walk upright, and drive cars like us, doesn't mean we're "nothing like eachother"

More like we share their traits.

That’s what they said in the video

So you are saying that we are furry, ugly and cruel? I'm a Creationist, and I reject any theory other than God created us. I am not related to no animal!

[@notanindianscammer7594]

Yes you are just accept it

[@18dot7]

"I am not related to no animal!" Your nipples give it away-you are a mammal. And hey, we got hair all over our bodies. And accepting the infantile explanation "some magical being farted all life into existence" makes you one of the dimmest candles on the cake. The belief in imaginary beings is okay for toddlers, but as an adult you should be deeply ashamed to believe such nonsense.

I believe God made several levels of consciousness. We each have our own, and some may be much higher or lower in regards to iq. Animals follow their set of rules. Why are humans the most “free willed”? Because we were created to recognize a “God level” perspective? Essentially look at how history doesn’t really change. Look at how it’s all relative. Praise God!

[@sebfleebee]

There have been other human species which may have had as much 'free will' as we enjoy. We evolved the ability to believe in 'universal fictions' as it allowed us to cooperate in larger numbers. i.e you're not just from the neighbouring valley, you believe in the same god/symbols that I do, therefore we can get along. And of course over time, many people have used and manipulated these 'fictions' to serve their own purpose (or at least the purpose they feel is the correct one), hence God and Christianity, Islam etc.

I find it funny that god has created so many similar apes its almost like he made 10 different drawings and weren't satisfied with each one of them so he eventually gave up. What's the point of having chimpanzees, gorilla and orangutangs they are all look a likes. The same goes for birds and cats

[@wormhole331]

@@ss-lz4me that’s why religion is BS and another product of community living. There’s even a certain group of chimps that does a sort of rain dance while it rains, but other groups around them in the same area don’t do that. Sounds like the beginnings of a religion. and it’s a learned behavior that’s passed down through the generations and not in the dna or “innate”

@@ss-lz4me bro please look up branching evolutions, you can believe god created evolution i don't care but there is an answer for this that isn't "god grabbed a crayon or something, i don't know!" 💀read a book sometime
