Self-Recognition in Apes

Jan 14, 2012 - @warofnature lol. but i kinda think that the precense of humans around animals has made them smarter cos like humans they still learn. its asif i hang around many people smarter than me and they alway talk about stuff i will eventually get smarter just from being around them. i am learning passively. the apes have been in human care for a long time, their diet has improved probably and their activities have been more complex. if they can learn sign language, in the future they can do other stuff

Jan 14, 2012 - @Shift4chizzle That's what I love about our progress of understanding, we are finding all these new startling things that most people would find baffling, but I find it truly wonderful. Theory states that our brain evolved to it's complex state today due to survival, just as animals evolve to grow wings to fly, claws to kill efficiently, we grew a brain to think. I'm not sure if this nurture thing we are doing to chimps will either accelerate or stagnate complex evolution of chimps o.o

Shift4chizzle Says:

Jan 14, 2012 - @warofnature thats true. but from what im seeing, we are accelerating a lot of the animals evolution in terms of thinking. i used to be soooooo interested in space and everything and when i get to university i wanted to go into something like engineering or space or whatever, but now im watching more of these videos and i am starting to think genetics and anthropology and stuff.

Shift4chizzle Says:

Jan 14, 2012 - @warofnature maybe in the future we can mix the two together, space and genetics. lol maybe the sun is full of genetic information and when it explodes it goes everywhere lol

Jan 14, 2012 - @Teekond thats what they said.

Jan 15, 2012 - my dog recognizes herself in the mirror and a dog is nowhere near a human in contrast so.... (unless my dog was a genius) ;)

Jan 19, 2012 - @Jenicide79 did it tell you it recognzed itself?

topperheartramada Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - @Shift4chizzle everything is evolving at all times.

Shift4chizzle Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - @topperheartramada apart from my ass

Jan 19, 2012 - @SplashesOfMusic this is the sort of thing that you should bve telling a psychologist.

topperheartramada Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - a stinking muslim 'researcher'... why isn't she researching her own psychosis instead?

topperheartramada Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - @Shift4chizzle or your head. they are intercgangeable.

Shift4chizzle Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - @topperheartramada true true, some times i even defecate out of my ears.

Shift4chizzle Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - @topperheartramada touché btw haha

Jan 24, 2012 - This means that in a few hundred (maybe 250) years, chimps will be born domesticated, and instead of following their instinct of destroying, they will create.

Jan 25, 2012 - @Jenicide79 How do you know she doesn't think it's another dog? Mark her and see for yourself.

TheLELAEM Says:

Jan 26, 2012 - chips evolved from us

MrPentatonicScale Says:

Jan 28, 2012 - if our ancestors hadnt taken over the planet with agriculture and civilization the chimps probably could have done it. a few of the smarter ones start breeding and then bam! its religion, nukes, war, and pyramids, for the chimps!

Jan 29, 2012 - @umidontno040394 people do not come from apes. evolution is not proven and is just the religion of modern day atheist that mascarade there religion as science. they lie about where people come from and natgeo promotes the lies but they know damn well that all real evidence shows that life is created. Plus evolutionism can't explain where life comes from or even where the earth comes from.

Jan 29, 2012 - @TypicalRepublican stop being a satirical troll.

jacqueslaurent Says:

Feb 9, 2012 - @typicalrepublican evolution is proven. Also, humans DID NOT evolve from apes, monkeys, or whatever. We BOTH evolved from a **COMMON ANCESTOR** millions of years ago. It is no surprise that genetically, we are only half a chromosome away from a chimpanzee.

Feb 9, 2012 - umm, humans are a type of ape, idk why the video is acting as if we aren't

Feb 10, 2012 - did they test this on black people?
