Monkey Makes A Fire: Kanzi The Bonobo Makes A Campfire
SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
It was a pivotal moment in history that separated man from other primates. Over a million years ago humankind began to conquer its fear of fire and use it as a tool. But now one special ape - a 31-year-old bonobo chimpanzee called Kanzi at the Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Iowa - is showing us just how close we really are. Astonishingly the male chimp's favourite things to do is make campfires. With impressive dexterity 12 stone (170lb) Kanzi collects firewood and breaks it into appropriate sizes. He arranges the sticks in a pile, ignites them with matches or a lighter, and then watches the flames take hold. Then Kanzi erects a grill over his fire so he can cook burgers and marshmallows over it, using a frying pan. According to Dr Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, his main handler and the only scientist ever to conduct language research with bonobos, he does it all because it fascinates him. Watching Kanzi make fire is particularly interesting to scientists at the facility - a world-class research centre dedicated to studying the behaviour and intelligence of great apes - because they are investigating the big cultural events that led to differences between humans and other primates. Because we share 99.5% genes with bonobos - our closest relatives - Dr Savage-Rumbaugh argues our differences are mainly cultural.

I'm more concerned about the confusion between human evolution and a single bonobo performing- and repeating "tricks" it learned from his trainer/keeper/whatever. If I teach a dog to "shake (hands)", it doesn't mean I should run out and buy it a tuxedo, because it just came one step closer to polite and sociable gentleman.

***** Oh, really? Wow, I didn't knew that... At the same time, he's the same size as Caesar, who is a chimpanzee, and he is also ridiculously more violent than him, which is uncommon for bonobos as compared to chimps, but kinda explained by his backstory. Thanks, I'll read more about it.

@nesadr93 9 жыл бұрын

***** You were right, Koba is indeed a bonobo, but it shows poor research on the part of the filmmakers to characterize him like that. Here, read these two articles so you see my point, it's quite interesting:

@nesadr93 9 жыл бұрын

***** Yet for all other apes, a critical aspect of their lineage remained, so why downplay that with Koba? For many people, this will be the first contact they have with a bonobo (a fictional one, but still), so not only is it a waste of an opportunity to represent them well and educate, but it is also a disservice to bonobos in general, because it might make the general public weary of bonobos. Media representation of new information has a history of being relevant culturally in this sense. That's not correct at all, clearly his hormonal levels must have affected his decision, because that's exactly what hormones do. Think of the proverbial psychopathic serial killer, he has a mental disorder that makes him do those things. If you suddenly got a brain disorder that made you a psychopath, you would almost surely end up doing the same as that serial killer, because we are nothing more than very complex biological machines, no decision is truly "our own". Genetic, environmental, personal history and quantum variables all affect what you'll choose, there is no "free will". You can try reading more about it online if it interests you, but it is a heady topic.

@nesadr93 9 жыл бұрын

***** Yeah, looking at it that way it would make sense. After all, it is mostly thanks to sex that they get to be so peaceful. They are my favorite ape too, and after them come orangutans. Did you read one of the links I posted? In one of them, the author of the article talks about a "Planet of the Bonobos" and how it would all be perfect, lol. Basically, bonobos are the elves of the ape world (if you play RPGs you'll get the joke).

Imagine if they learned to build fire without matches and lighters - and then passed the info on how to do it to others. That’s evolution.

I don't know what I'm more impressed by, the implied fact that he started the fire all by himself or his ability to comprehend not only how to toast a marshmallow, but also accept that toasting the marshmallow is a way of preparing the food to make it even more appealing to eat.

Bonobos are my favorite animal and knowing that one can make a fire is just incredible. Bonobos are such fascinating creatures. But I don’t fear them which I guess is why I like them so much. I would never go up to one even if I knew it was a bonobo. But I don’t believe they are remotely close to being as harmful as chimpanzees They have survived and thrived by sexuality. Instead of fighting they have intercourses. They choose love not war and that is fascinating. I’m so glad that someone helped prove how smart they really are. I’m so happy knowing this.

@klingest 9 жыл бұрын

Well, everybody who is able to make a fire, has at some point been trained to do it. So it is not really important, whether he has been trained to do it. The important thing is, that he has learned how to do it, and is able to do it again.
