- EllieBlue, thank you. From the page: "Savage-Rumbaugh asks whether uniquely human traits, and other animals' behaviors, are hardwired by species. Then she rolls a video that makes you think: maybe not. The bonobo apes she works with understand spoken English. One follows her instructions to take a cigarette lighter from her pocket and use it to start a fire. Bonobos are shown making tools, drawing symbols to communicate, and playing Pac-Man -- all tasks learned just by watching. Maybe it's not always biology that causes a species to act as it does, she suggests. Maybe it's cultural exposure to how things are done."

- This 20 minute video can change one's prospective on our relationship with the species here on earth. The seperation of man and ape is not so great depending upon the species of ape. This video raises many questions, both scientific and religious. While our knowledge in expanding expodentially, it is because we are so ignorant and there are so many thing left to learn. Our societies insignifiant time here on earth may be drawing to a close, and if so, it will simply repair itself and re-evolve into some similar society we have today, better hopefully as it would not have far to go to be much better than we have today. Thankyou Ellie

- "Susan Savage-Rumbaugh and the Amazing Bonobo Apes This video is really fascinating and informative. Susan Savage-Rumbaugh is a leading expert on Bonobos which are apes found near the Congo River. Bonobos are peaceable animals as they use sex to resolve conflict and eliminate fear, as well as everyday social interaction. The video shows the Bonobos learning English, and using and making stone tools as well as other tools. We get to see a demonstration of a Bonobo setting and lighting a fire, and playing Pacman.
