Planet of the apes...isnt too far from us!

[HotDog-Cart]

Guys. Watch this video. This video is about the "Bonobo Monkey". Basically, these monkeys communicate using language and writing. They have common sense (Such as putting water over a fire or collecting sticks to make a fire.), and even know how to kill the ghosts in pacman.

That is crazy isn't it? but then again..that's evolution in action baby!

Wow, that was very interesting. It's amazing how close they are to us.

All the motions and communication...hell, they even break sticks like I do (well, sometimes I use my knees instead...but still).

Bonobo monkeys also bone for like 12 hours a day.

when the bonobo male gets angry, the female bonobo will run over and perform fellatio on him to calm him down.

If anything, it's scary for the fundies.

Update to my knowledge of bonobo monkeys.

When the female tires of the male, she will "break up" with him by copulating with her new mate in front of the old.

That is amazing. I knew there was some great advancements in the study of animal intelligence lately, but had no idea how intelligent bonobos actually were. Has anyone else heard of the parrot that can do simple math and count? Its quite amazing as well.
