Holy, shit monkeys are taking over

Monkey see monkey do

So this is a 17 minute video about the bonobo monkey. These things are amazing. They write in symbols they've learned to mean things, the understand human language to an extent, they play musical insturments, they play pacman, they drive golf carts and even start fires.

This is an amazing video, and yes I know theres a youtube thread, but I didn't want this to fall away because of videos of some guy hitting his friend in the balls.

The first few minutes are kinda boring, but you can skip ahead to the fun part once it's loaded up.

Seriously, these things are amazing.

She tells one to gather sticks, as simple as that, no hand gestures, no pictures, just 'we need sticks' and the monkey gathers sticks.

Watch it, watch it, waaaaaaaaaatch it!

    No. These monkeys learn incredibly fast by watching.

    One gathers sticks, I'm assuming she puts together the pile for the fire, but then she tells it to grab a lighter out of her pocket and start a fire.

    And it does. It grabs an ordinary bic, and lights the camp fire.

    Monkeys scare me.

    When my family was living in Japan, we were driving around somewhere (Nagano I think) and we stopped to look at some monkeys since they were hanging from the trees and providing lovely photo opportunities. The car in front of us had monkeys jumping on it, so I concluded that they were going to try to get into our car and kidnap me so I locked the doors and tried to hide under the seat.

    Yeah, fuck opposable thumbs. I think we should massacre any non-human creatures that have them, because that's one advantage we really shouldn't be giving up.

    When I was in San Diego ten'ish years ago, we went to the Wild Animal Park (the safari-ish place), and there were monkeys coming right up to the tour bus. I remember having just seen Outbreak, and as such this was not good for me; being 12 means you don't realize that these monkeys probably don't have Ebola.

    Bonobos are awesome. Only species other than man to engage in casual sex. And they do it with more or less anyone - males on males, females on females, young on old. I don't think they do the incest thing though.
