Chimps Quotes

Humans. Sometimes they make chimps look smart Picture Quote #1

You better not mess with chimps. They are much stronger than humans Picture Quote #1

At age three, if you have a still-growing brain, it’s a human behavior. In chimps, by age three, the brain is formed over 90 percent. That’s why they can cope with their environment very easily after birth - faster than us, anyway. But in humans, we continue to grow our brains. That’s why we need care from our parents Picture Quote #1

I shouldn’t have named the chimps. It wasn’t scientific. I didn’t know. I knew nothing. And worse sin of all was that I was ascribing to them emotions like happiness, sadness and so forth Picture Quote #1

Even chimps understand the concept - if a troop of chimps enters a fruit tree, they will only pick the fruits that are ripe and leave the others growing. That is sustainability Picture Quote #1

We, as humans, have actually developed a sense of social responsibility. We have gone beyond our basic instincts. We can and we do. This is what sets us apart from the chimps. They are extremely brutal and hostile. Your next door neighbor is to be killed unless she is a juicy young female, who hasn’t yet had her first baby, in which case you want her Picture Quote #1

Chimps are very quick to have a sudden fight or aggressive episode, but they’re equally as good at reconciliation Picture Quote #1

The problem of the chimps is that they can only sit and look. They can’t discuss what they feel. All that feeling is trapped within each one Picture Quote #1

You don’t know whether chimps are going to kill you or kiss you. They’re very open on some levels and much more evil in a certain way Picture Quote #1

Such is the breathtaking speciesism of our Christian-inspired attitudes, the abortion of a single human zygote can arouse more moral solicitude and righteous indignation than the vivasection of any number of intelligent adult chimpanzees! The only reason we can be comfortable with such a double standard is that the intermediates between humans and chimps are all dead Picture Quote #1

Chimps don’t have language. Humans actively instruct others about how things should be done. Chimpanzees probably pick up cultural traditions by observation Picture Quote #1

The part that always shocked me was the inter-community violence among the chimps: the patrols and the vicious attacks on strangers that lead to death. It’s an unfortunate parallel to human behavior - they have a dark side just as we do. We have less excuse, because we can deliberate, so I believe only we are capable of true calculated evil Picture Quote #1

It’s the bond between mother and child, which is really, for us and for chimps and other primates, the root of all the expressions of social behavior Picture Quote #1

Being both more systematically brutal than chimps and more empathetic than bonobos, we are by far the most bipolar ape. Our societies are never completely peaceful, never completely competitive, never ruled by sheer selfishness, and never perfectly moral Picture Quote #1

Animals are certainly more sophisticated than we used to think. And we shouldn’t lump together animals as a group. Crows and chimps and dogs are all highly intelligent in very different ways Picture Quote #1

If one compares the sequence of amino acids that go to form the protein haemoglobin, it becomes apparent that humans and chimps are identical and do not differ in a single site Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can’t even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious. We accept that chimps and dolphins experience awareness; we like to think dogs and cats do. But what about mice and newts? What about a fly? Is anything going on there at all? Picture Quote #1

Chimps taught us we’re not separated from the animal kingdom, we’re a part of it Picture Quote #1

When chimps threaten, they open their mouth and show their teeth. It’s a little like waving a knife in front of you. It’s very primitive, and therefore bizarre Picture Quote #1

When you meet chimps you meet individual personalities. When a baby chimp looks at you it’s just like a human baby. We have a responsibility to them Picture Quote #1

Chimps are very quick to have a sudden fight or aggressive episode, but they’re equally as good at reconciliation Picture Quote #1
