This is what type 2 civilization of aliens think of us.

Am I the only one who noticed they added stock sounds on top of the original chimpanzee screams?

"Kafsi, on the left, isn't very smart." So cold lmao

If only our politicians were as smart...

Some may call it 'chimp politics' -- I call it 'an average day in academia'.

I'm actually amazed that the alpha was determined due to the high ranking of his mother. I always thought it was determined through aggression; winner takes all. Also, interesting to see other previous alphas take sides, as opposed to trying to win back the throne. The politics aren't that far off from human politics.

I don't know why but I always thought it was amazing that these creatures are able to live for 60 years

00:58 sheesh...those arms man. Now thats some major gains.
-
how the hell did I get here
-
1:49 you can hear the old donkey kong noise
-
so grooming each other to reinforce the bond is like going to the spa with your girlfriends or doing make overs at a slumber party. haha

I think people should be studying the chimps at the Tama Zoo in Japan., They are a split into two groups in rotation to the outside enclosure. Both groups that consist of many of the same members just different alphas all get along extremely well. Although power has changed hands 3 times in last 5 years there is little to no violence in the group. Even the most stern Alpha of the bunch is best friends with what is on paper the lowest ranking female and both alphas spend large parts of their days playing with the children of the group, fully trusted by the mothers. It is truly something to see.

That mother seems so wise

1:59 the Donkey Kong sound from Mario Kart 64? Blatantly obvious library sound added to the footage. It's a shame the BBC feels the need to tamper with nature footage by adding sound effects that weren't there.
-
If alien anthropologists came to Earth and gave us a bunch of super weird logic tests that everyone said were really lame, would you want to do those instead of hanging out with your friends?
-
1:46 is this sound real? 😂
-
AYO was that a default sound at 2:00
-
0:39 that boy has got some pipes, he's like a Human equivalent of a strong ass carpenter

They could probably beat me in Command and Conquer
