    3:47 Me when I clean the house and expecting a reward from my parents.
  • The more intelligent an animal is, the more of a double edged sword. Chimpanzees are both capable of empathy & kindness, but also war crimes, torture and madness

    Dolphins also are exceedingly intelligent and almost human-like. Actually, there are quite a few animals blessed with a sentience almost as high as ours. We just need to get out there and observe. And honestly, they're not stupid at all. They've got emotions and conscience as much as we do.

    I love the way they enjoy every food with passion and gratitude 😊
  • It's incredibly interesting. In term of solciety, indeed the natural canals of communication are broken, but in smaller cases they still exists. I'm a team leader in a garden company and I got there because I was taking charge of the management goals as much as being sure that everybody was happy at work and sharing success with all the group instead of asking for bigger salary for myself, which make our team strong, and valuable for the management. We are still functionning like that, just in infinitely more complex ways of course because of language, negociation, foresight, and all the typical human stuff

    Imagine a hybrid of Chimpanzee and Bonobo would be like their parents are
  • This isn't about chimpanzees or empathy. This is about philosophy? Is that the right term? This was nice.

    This is the worst comment section possible for this kind of video. Stop the nonsense, please.
