Keke W. -- I guess when they say we have to share it goes a long way. Chimpanzees just like us have empathy to others they can feel the pain of others. That’s why they sometimes don’t mind sharing things that they have with others. This trait is mainly among mammals. A few scientists did a study seven female chimps. The study was to see if they would be selfish and pick the bucket with one certain color which would have gotten themselves food, or would they choose the other one which got food for themselves and a near by champ. The majority of the time they choose the bucket that got food for them and a near by champ.
What really amazes me is that we human beings have so much in common with monkeys and other mammals. Im used to seeing the vicious side if these animals and, im sure if other people read this article they would be surprised, at how empathetic they could be. This shows how a community acts together, helping each other out. Like form and function. The chimps are the form and the function is each other helping out in their way to keep the cycle going.
