Chimps symbolize mankind at its more primal base. The way they form groups, the way they wage wars, how they will kill anything that opposes them, even threats they perceive could develop, how they show their feral nature in packs. How they torture and show cruelty. We've seen the worst of humans display these characteristics. And while you can be positive aspects within chimps like the family unit, the protective nature of mothers with children, it is undeniable that we are descended from a chimp like species, one that to this day acts on those primeval aspects of its nature.

[@g.dalfleblanc63]

Kid, there are also bonobos, far more placid and kind. There's always the other side of the story. We are undeniably descended from many different types of creature, the human is supreme because we are not retarded like the chimpanzee who is completely selfish and ends up destroying it's group, or overly placid like the Bonobo. Of course I much prefer the Bonobo and the kinder chimp individuals. I don't know if the chimpanzees are advanced enough yet to have individuals who deal with any cannibal or child abuser types? this is what it is to be truly human.

They have intelligence without remorse or mercy. It is ingrained.

Right away I noticed how terrorizing the appearance and behavior of chimpanzees, especially the older adult males, was. Sometime later as a young adult in the mid to late seventies I read an article about chimpanzees hunting, killing and consuming monkeys. Maybe that article was written by Jane Goodall herself. She was one brave woman to study those vicious critters. Never looked at “Cheetah” the same again.

In 1970, when I was 21 years old, at a Shrine Circus, there were 5 chimps waiting in a hallway to go in and perform. Each chimp had its own little wagon in a line and wore little tuxedos. I had to walk by them to go to the bathroom. As I passed the last one in the train, it grabbed me by the wrist, pulled me down into the cart and proceeded to try to bite off my thumb at the base joint. My face was an inch from his, and it was staring at my eyes as it bit. Fortunately, a brave Shriner was able to grab me up and shield me against a wall as the chimp came out of the wagon after me. Of course I still have the scar, and for many years I had the imprint scar of the chimp’s upper incisors on top of the joint. I’m beginning to understand just how lucky I was! 🌷

[@caneprints]

This makes me wonder whether our efforts to curb violent behaviors in humans are Useful at all since genetically and behaviorally, we have so many similarities with these animals. I always thought things like war and genocide were so horrible and unusual and I could never understand them, but watching this video, I’m wondering if this is just part of our behavioral norm and there is really no way to stop it?

[@eskede4733]

There's a much better side to us too.

[@ntvans]

Well, it has stopped in many aspects and manifestations through our higher degree of socialising and co-operation that initiated from the complex communication abilities we developed thanks to which we aquired an evolutionary advantage. That in turn led to further development of the frontal lobe, better communication, co-operation and the development of traits such as empathy, sympathy, solidarity, compassion etc. toghhether with an increase in IQ. High intelligence + co-operation + social interaction =more peaceful behavior in general. In there lies the answer to your question.

not that it makes the situation any less horrible and or justifiable in any way but maybe for some reason in their more primitive way of thinking or some kind of thought that Gilka displayed and or showed signs of weakness with her hand being weak or handicapped from being sick when she was younger - and together with the fact that other members of her troop knew of her being previously sick when she was younger - but also maybe more importantly the fact that she could not hide the fact that her hand was obviously disabled and because that it would always be noticed not only just by the others in her troop - but would also be noticed by others in different troops and would or could be a display of weakness and or a sign of weakness from her and from the troop as a whole - even if only seen with her baby by members of her own troop - but especially if she was seen with her offspring by others in different troops to them she might be seen as weak somehow - and so some of the others in her troop thought by killing her offspring would somehow get rid of any weakness in the troop? but if that was the case why would they not just not just take out Gilka ? and then only decide to kill her offspring every time she gave birth.. it's all quite confusing? maybe it is actually pretty simple ... they were in fact.... just some really sick and crazed homicidal chimp maniacs..............who knows???
