Must be western chimps or hungry, unemployed chimps without health care.
One can definitely see the same behavior at work among some so-called “human” groups...
My guess is that they’re Liberal RAT chimps.
Wait! I thought man was the only species to kill each other over resources like territory or food... This cannot be!
Have they stopped doing the ‘survival of the fittest’ lectures in school ?? This is surprising how ?
If you want to study chimps for whatever reason, ok I guess. But spending 10 years observing and then making up theories that seem like they were formulated in 5 minutes tells me that most of what these people are doing is a complete waste of time. And trying to find some corollary between the chimps and human behavior is absurd.
““Chimpanzees kill each other. They kill their neighbors. Up until now, we have not known why. “
And they call them scientists.
I am reminded of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In the beginning scenes two different groups of monkeys are fighting in a territorial dispute.
I find it hard to believe a ‘scientist’ never saw the movie.
Or reruns of the old TARZAN AND JANE movies (especially the b/w ones)
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. - Proverbs 6:6
They’re not monkeys.
Must be that “evolved morality” we keep hearing about.
“chimp killers specifically seek out lone or badly outnumbered victims for an easy ambush.”
“One can definitely see the same behavior at work among some so-called “human” groups...”
Like SEIU or Inner City Yoots.
I'm no scientist, but I suspect it's because they want them dead.
Probably chimps without rail access since Willie Green is the poster!
I have a soft spot for most beasts, but I sure do not like chimps. I know, that has nothing to do with the thread, but I just had to say it.
Sounds like these guys haven’t studied much animal behavior at all. I mean, c’mon for pete’s sakes, look at wolves, dogs, lions, even moose, elk and deer will pack up and kill a foe, even ants.
Where have these guys been? Sounds like we wasted a lot of money sending a bunch of community agitators, rather than scientists to Uganda.
