@@AmirDarkOne all alpha males want to appease the other chimps within the group because they need alliances to maintain power regardless of how strong they are, that’s the whole point of grooming it’s to make connections and alliances between members of the group. That’s why an alpha male who is just a dick to every other chimp in the group is just going to get overthrown by another male who is good at making allies because nobody likes the alpha male. This is why the most successful alpha males are usually the ones who can both make and maintain allies but are also strong enough to defend their position from potential threats both internal and external.
Iirc, scientists found that chimps raised in captivity and then released to the wild, outside of the typical patriarchal social structure of wild chimps, were a lot kinder to each other. Could say something about how violence is a perpetual cycle in animals just as much as it is in humans
So... your evidence for less violent chimps is being nurtured by humans? I think that just proves that we're the less violent creature. I would put the violence scale as this: Chimp>Human>Gorilla>Orangutan
Yet much worse at surviving in the wild. Be it male or female, every species of mammal need a strong dominant gender. In the case of humans and chimps, it's the males.
@@pierrebegley2746 Or the fact that we're more like Orangutans/Bonobos in our chill, but can as easily swing to the other extreme due to our purported morals or even desperation
their environment is what makes them violent, there isn't much food where they live so natural selection did its thing because more violent chimps are more likely to secure food for themselves and thus pass on their genes
Im actually really happy to see you make a full on draw my life video on chimps, they’remy number 1 favourite animals yet i find it pretty difficult to research properly about them so a video like this that puts it in bite-sized easy to digest content is appreciated 👍

From the outset he paints humans as excessively violent. Humans are not violent compared to most animals, and it very rare that we kill each other. We build multi multi million societies, where we hunt down and gently punish those who are violent. When humans on a large scale are being violent to each other, it raises concern with humans on the other side of the planet. Most humans basically never need to live in fear of their fellow humans.
@@Rasayana85Yeah. Even in horrible countries to live in like parts of africa, eastern europe, south america, and the middle east they aren't all too violent compared to other animals. Especially apes.

Saw one of these buggers close to my home one day. He tried climbing my tree but I hurled my lucky rock at his head from my nest. The weird, hairless, tall and lanky chimp fell pretty hard. He made weird throat noises and ran away. Chimps 1. Hairless Chimps 0.
Unfortunately for the commenter, the hairless chimp on 2 legs called on his allies who have a more specialized role in their social hierarchy. Now the commenter is dead, killed by the hairless chimps and their weird looking sticks that make a loud bang.
(Editing my comment just for one of my replies. When I say "less evolved" than humans, what I mean is chimps arent as advanced or complex as hominins, and what I describe is what some experts believe is one thing that holds them back from evolving into something more humanlike) I remember reading on anthropology and they had a chimp expert chime in to say that the main thing holding chimps back from evolving into something more advanced like early species of human is the fact that so many of them do not have the same kind of empathy that humans and even dogs have. For example, you're taking a walk in the park one day and you see someone off the trail who has been pinned under a fallen tree and is begging you desperately to help them. If you're a normal human, theres something inside of you that says you cant just ignore this, and you either attempt to help or call someone to help, even though you do not know this person, they are a stranger to you. And if you DONT help for what ever reason, you may struggle for many years to live with the fact that someone was begging you to save their life and you didnt do anything, and just left them there. Their cries may haunt you in your memories for the rest of your life. This his how the average human is. The human species does have its violent members but the average functioning human does not want to see another human suffer, and will want to help a person who they see is in immediate danger, even if that person is a stranger to them. The human will have the desire to help another human even if the human helping does not receive anything in exchange for helping. We have seen this play out in situations where there is a car accident and someone is pinned under a car, and several people stop their cars on the side of the road and get together to help lift the car off of the person, even though none of them know each other. This is an extremely unique trait among humans as most animals in the wild will only try to rescue members of its own pack/herd/troop The chimp experts chimps are not like humans in this regard. The average chimp could be sitting on a riverbank and eating fruit, and if it sees another chimp drowning but that chimp is a stranger to the first chimp, that first chimp will not have any instinct or desire to even reach its hand out to save the drowning chimp, even if there is no danger or downsides to helping that other chimp. The chimp will continue what its doing while the other chimp drowns. This chimp would only help other chimps if it already knew that chimp, such as it being a member of its own troop. Experts believe that the reason empathy helped humans evolve was because being only concerned for oneself or ones own group would lead to less cooperation, which would mean overall less members of the species would survive. Human empathy would help in the evolution of language and cooperation and tool use. Empathy also helps us find ways to communicate with other humans who cannot communicate with spoken language, which means more people could be helped and would survive. You couldnt call humans a truly evil species without ignoring the fact that there are people who are able to thrive with disabilities thanks to their fellow humans, disabilities that are normally a death sentence in the animal kingdom
This makes me wonder if psychopathy is a developmental disorder, like they just never developed that evolved part of the brain, so it reverts back to the chimp levels of empathy. Sort of like a Down Syndrome for emotions.
A lot of words to say "humans are more advanced because we get along better, and cooperation makes stuff happen." Also, chimps are not any less "evolved" than humans, there is no such thing as "less evolved." Evolution makes every organism the best for its own environment, even living fossils are evolved, they just never had a reason to change their lifestyle.

Compared to most other primates, or even mammals as a whole, even in most developing countries, us humans treat women comparatively well. Not saying women weren’t historically disadvantaged, but at the same time, they (usually) weren’t included in drafts, and they are generally the ones that choose which man will be their partner, and not vice versa.
Female chimps also aren’t included in the chimp draft, as he mentioned with the whole hunting and war being done by the males. I mean you are right that we do treat women better than literal chimps, it was obviously a bit hyperbolic and joking when he said that, but I think that idea can just come from the fact that we are so intelligent and aware of what we’re doing, women still go through a lot of abuse and awful things, and if you don’t believe me, if you know more than 5 women in your life you almost certainly know some people who have gone through some terrifying stuff. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I got into my 20s and learned from people I was close to, in my teenage years I always thought the fear for women was exaggerated- now I’m sad to say I can completely understand. Also, in a lot of the animal kingdom, it’s the males who have to be really colourful and interesting to attract female attention- for humans, it tends to be women who really make themselves look colourful and interesting. Obviously looking good as a man is important too, but just consider female fashion and makeup compared to male fashion and makeup, you understand what I mean. It seems like, broadly speaking, for women it’s more important what you look like, for men it’s more important your social status, economic status, etc, which is similar to the ape/chimp “hierarchical status” thing. This obviously has pluses and minuses for either position- for women, it might mean choosing the man with better status over the one you have more of a connection with but who is just as economically bad off as you are. People might think I’m exaggerating on these things but I think a lot of the time people can come from a very privileged context, coming from a Western European nation, or a place like the USA or Canada. Most of the world doesn’t really work that way, and these are very real issues for large amounts of the population
Yea obviously humans will treat women better than animals do lol. We are able to comprehend right from wrong. Regarding choosing "which man will be their partner" that's incorrect. While (most) women are able to do that now, in middle Eastern countries they don't. There's still arranged marriages that exist and even getting married off as children. Even back then in America women would marry and couldn't even divorce. While women can divorce now, there are many times they feel they can't because of abusive partners (not including arranged marriages, its obvious why they cant). I don't think we can say that we treat women "fairly well" when I think it could always improve, especially since there's still so many problems with how to treat women, but I do think that about everything else in the world too (about things improving). Don't even get me started on this whole "alpha male" movement going on right now as well where a lot of the times it's just talking down on women and wanting to feel like they're overpowering them.
I really enjoy these videos. Well, they're silly. They're also pretty informational about random little topics and animals that we think about in our daily life, but don't really think about how they live
Finally after weeks of watching Casually Explained, Sam O'Nella, Exurb1a, and searching 'why does UA-cams algorithm suck so bad', I got one more for the collection.
@@luigidisanpietro3720 I'm not involved with the video in any way really, but I enjoyed it too. The bonobos thing is mostly because, for them, close physical contact is a predominant way of comunicating, expressing itself... that way, quite a lot. But if you think about it, someone caressing your head can be a way of comunicating your closeness to them. So it becomes reasonable to see how their more extreme behavior may have developed, as grooming became just that important.
im biology student and once me and my friends started a conversation on animal cruelty and ethics. As ordinary biology students we have all experienced frog dissection and whatnot. So this girl said thats cruelty and started talkin about it. And then said i wouldnt do anything that bad to any animal except dolphins. They are bad and so on. I couldnt say there but dolphins get all that shit and most of other psycho animals left unnoticed. maan all those primates... aggression accompanies with sociality out there in wilds. no wonder we came from same origin
It ruffles me when people talk about ethical treatment of animals, and then tarnish the actual debates against cruelty with such lackluster "arguments"...
Unsure if self-idolatry should also be introduced to chimps through a camera/attention addiction. Animals in the wild who also recognize themselves in a mirror tend to self-obsess but insecurity does not seem to be a thing in non-humans. Self-worship was never a legitimate evolutionary step, but rather a mark of poor impulse-control and lack of understanding moderation.
after sam o nellas disappearence there have been countless amounts of sam o nellas that r quite not sam o nella but anything to fill the void of sam o nella
You need to do one on Bonobos. Very different in behavior and actually slightly closer to humans than chimps are. Bonobos are led by Alpha females, who keep their sons in check. Bonobos and chimps are now mating and producing viable offspring. If this is possible, then they are still essentially the same species. And that species demonstrates the extremes of human behavior. I'd do one myself but I'm no good with graphics.
Dogs and wolves produce viable offspring. Humans and Neanderthals did too when they were still around. So did Neanderthals and Denisovans, confirmed by a fossil’s DNA. Very closely related species can produce viable offspring so I think Bonobos and the Common Chimpanzee are different species.

2:36 what a spectacular creature
I can confirm the accuracy of this video
Think i have found my favourite youtube channel
Thank you!
now show me my life as a happy human being in a meaningful relationship and a good enough paying job
This is a great video! You deserve more subs! Don't give up and keep making more vids!
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
You gotta make more of these. This was funny
TBF, the worst part about the human interactions is being taken to a laboratory.
That's how you get ya meds cupcake,,,
The fact that the bald chimp was Bezos and not joe rogan actually shocked me.
Didn't expect this good of a video from such a small channel
Cheers!! I’m glad you liked the video!
1:45 so real 😮💨
😂
This channel is gonna soar. Keep it up
Thank you!
watched chimp empire on Netflix and it is very good. w video I am excited for your next post
This and the shoebill video are excellent, please make more of them!
Thank you!
Jeff Bezos, as an alpha chip, is epic. 😂
This was really good. Make more of these
I was wondering when you would get to the cannibalisms and violence, and I am glad you saved the punch line for later x)
Why does this resonate with me
🤷♂️
Return to Monke
Soo... familiar....
Because it reminds you of us
Loved the river joke 🤣 5:23
It’s crazy how swole chimps are too 💪🏼
"A human could never beat a chimp in a 1v1!! Chimps are so much stronger than hu-"
*the Glock-21 in my pocket*
Wow youre so powerful
@@ancientdarkness3102 Nah Tzeentch just gave the me knowledge to manifest a gun into my hand... the gun did the rest
@@somerandommen but khorne can give you the power to face those beasts with an axe and Your bare hands. Thats where real power resides. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
@@ancientdarkness3102 I would be just as dumb as the chimps after 5 years of serving Khorne tho 😔
@@somerandommen who needs to be clever when you have an anti-Magic collar and a big ass axe and can roar like a tiger
You should do a 'your life as a Bonobo next'. Include the gay sex and the fact that your mom will set you up with dates.
Oh yeah, it’s like an adults only comedy where babes and jocks come to play.
It's chimp, but with porn logic.
Very cool video style and ideas. Its like a casually explained/tierzoo crossbreed.
2:50 There is actually a species of baboon that makes humans and chimps look downright chivalrous in their treatment of women.
Ahh, the chacma baboon!
Compared to most other primates, or even mammals as a whole, even in most developing countries, us humans treat women comparatively well. Not saying women weren’t historically disadvantaged, but at the same time, they (usually) weren’t included in drafts, and they are generally the ones that choose which man will be their partner, and not vice versa.
Female chimps also aren’t included in the chimp draft, as he mentioned with the whole hunting and war being done by the males. I mean you are right that we do treat women better than literal chimps, it was obviously a bit hyperbolic and joking when he said that, but I think that idea can just come from the fact that we are so intelligent and aware of what we’re doing, women still go through a lot of abuse and awful things, and if you don’t believe me, if you know more than 5 women in your life you almost certainly know some people who have gone through some terrifying stuff. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I got into my 20s and learned from people I was close to, in my teenage years I always thought the fear for women was exaggerated- now I’m sad to say I can completely understand.
Also, in a lot of the animal kingdom, it’s the males who have to be really colourful and interesting to attract female attention- for humans, it tends to be women who really make themselves look colourful and interesting. Obviously looking good as a man is important too, but just consider female fashion and makeup compared to male fashion and makeup, you understand what I mean. It seems like, broadly speaking, for women it’s more important what you look like, for men it’s more important your social status, economic status, etc, which is similar to the ape/chimp “hierarchical status” thing. This obviously has pluses and minuses for either position- for women, it might mean choosing the man with better status over the one you have more of a connection with but who is just as economically bad off as you are. People might think I’m exaggerating on these things but I think a lot of the time people can come from a very privileged context, coming from a Western European nation, or a place like the USA or Canada. Most of the world doesn’t really work that way, and these are very real issues for large amounts of the population
Yea obviously humans will treat women better than animals do lol. We are able to comprehend right from wrong. Regarding choosing "which man will be their partner" that's incorrect. While (most) women are able to do that now, in middle Eastern countries they don't. There's still arranged marriages that exist and even getting married off as children. Even back then in America women would marry and couldn't even divorce. While women can divorce now, there are many times they feel they can't because of abusive partners (not including arranged marriages, its obvious why they cant). I don't think we can say that we treat women "fairly well" when I think it could always improve, especially since there's still so many problems with how to treat women, but I do think that about everything else in the world too (about things improving). Don't even get me started on this whole "alpha male" movement going on right now as well where a lot of the times it's just talking down on women and wanting to feel like they're overpowering them.
Imagine just chilling and then getting captured and experimented on by a bunch of hairless apes.
Sooo... what I understood is chimp life is prison life?
Prison life is chimp life. After all, humans are primates. We have similar social structures
It's crazy to see how similar chimps are to our hierarchy structure on such a....primal level.
would be fun to see the same with bonobos , but i dont think youtube would allow that
😂😂😂 been trying to think of a family friendly way to do it
Amazing how ultra violence is okay but a bit of boink boink isn't huh
@@Jamestoland I'm begging you to make an ape sequel video with bonobos. it would be perfect
Top tier man. I think you figured it out. And now I need more of these
I just discovered this channel and I already wonder if he did a video about penguins. It has a potential to be the most "normal" episode
It really depends on the type of penguin. For example, Adelies engage in prostitution.
This gonna blow, calling it now!
Finally a tutorial on how to return to monke
This channel is so underrated
She didn’t have to throw out his little hat though 😢
Nature’s cruel
I appreciate the rust nod, that’s where things were settled back then.
being chimp is like being human but you are not the most evil animal on the planet
You would be the second most evil animals on the planet instead.
Never stop making these animal documentaries. They are funny amazing.
2:00 just like highschool
I really enjoy these videos. Well, they're silly. They're also pretty informational about random little topics and animals that we think about in our daily life, but don't really think about how they live
Hey man, I just want to say keep it up! I’m glad I stumbled across you, I can’t wait for the next one
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
2:49 was just too cute lol. You know she aint sleeping with you right champ? 😂😂😂
Hey, this content is unique, and I love your style, remember me when you get famous.
Sorry I forgot this video was old and ended up looking like a bot
Finally after weeks of watching Casually Explained, Sam O'Nella, Exurb1a, and searching 'why does UA-cams algorithm suck so bad', I got one more for the collection.
OoOoh OoOoh- Monke 10 million years ago.
This was so excellent. Few understand how similar chimps are to humans...
Almost a hybrid of Chimpanzee and Bonobo.
Lol
Also gorilla
as a chimp this is mad accurate
that’s a 10/10 drawing of a chimp right there, im just as scared of it as i am of real ones good job!
Thank you!
I absloutely loved this video! You to make more "Your life as a _" videos!
Thank you! That’s the plan
Gold, keep grinding these vids out bruh
Don't want to "return to monke" anymore, it is just like ours ~ less the salary....
If you're a bonobo, it is actualy really different from this.
@@gabrielbarbosa7882
Yeah, I heard getting laid was a way of socializing... Is that true?
Nice video by the way... Do you do the animating?👍
@@luigidisanpietro3720 I'm not involved with the video in any way really, but I enjoyed it too.
The bonobos thing is mostly because, for them, close physical contact is a predominant way of comunicating, expressing itself... that way, quite a lot. But if you think about it, someone caressing your head can be a way of comunicating your closeness to them. So it becomes reasonable to see how their more extreme behavior may have developed, as grooming became just that important.
You should make another one but about monkeys like capuchins and stuff :D
im biology student and once me and my friends started a conversation on animal cruelty and ethics. As ordinary biology students we have all experienced frog dissection and whatnot. So this girl said thats cruelty and started talkin about it. And then said i wouldnt do anything that bad to any animal except dolphins. They are bad and so on. I couldnt say there but dolphins get all that shit and most of other psycho animals left unnoticed. maan all those primates... aggression accompanies with sociality out there in wilds. no wonder we came from same origin
Social Intelligence and Sadism tend to correlate.
It ruffles me when people talk about ethical treatment of animals, and then tarnish the actual debates against cruelty with such lackluster "arguments"...
Animal cruelty is a non issue. They are inferior lifeforms
@@NoName-dd5vq Doesn't happen in elephants.
Your life as ... videos have prmpted me to sub. I wish you more success
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY 🗣️
dont stop with this soncept, its lovely
Female chimps do hunt. They also tend to use tools more often than males
don't you dare stop making these vids, i want one for every animal in existence 😌
Unsure if self-idolatry should also be introduced to chimps through a camera/attention addiction. Animals in the wild who also recognize themselves in a mirror tend to self-obsess but insecurity does not seem to be a thing in non-humans.
Self-worship was never a legitimate evolutionary step, but rather a mark of poor impulse-control and lack of understanding moderation.
What i have never heard such a thing. More likely there’s just fascinated by seeing themselves so clearly and continuously for the first time
after sam o nellas disappearence there have been countless amounts of sam o nellas that r quite not sam o nella but anything to fill the void of sam o nella
You need to do one on Bonobos. Very different in behavior and actually slightly closer to humans than chimps are. Bonobos are led by Alpha females, who keep their sons in check. Bonobos and chimps are now mating and producing viable offspring. If this is possible, then they are still essentially the same species. And that species demonstrates the extremes of human behavior. I'd do one myself but I'm no good with graphics.
Dogs and wolves produce viable offspring. Humans and Neanderthals did too when they were still around. So did Neanderthals and Denisovans, confirmed by a fossil’s DNA. Very closely related species can produce viable offspring so I think Bonobos and the Common Chimpanzee are different species.
you made it to recomended on your 4th or 5th video thats very very good bro :) grind your buttcheeks red my guy and youll hit 100k subs by the end of the year 👍👍
I wish life was like this
This video fire, need more like this
Chimpin ain't easy man
I love the Anticlimantic end where the narrator says "Oh no! Thats humans logging down your forest! Thats a shame.."
