I swear apes can do the things we do. They just don’t want to pay bills😊
Monkeys aren't sinful or and evil like humans,one thing for sure!
Weird how the modern world has changed our handed down knowledge of plants and their medicinal properties
We all need to reconnect
The human chromosomes are 46, not 46 and half or .25 or ….. The apes are 48 chromosomes. Also, apes cannot bread with humans under the DNA blocker, which is why humans and apes are completely different creatures. This is not because of religious beliefs; these are common sense observations. Also, both coexists together in the environment and should bread together if they are the same family, but they are not. All these observations of our common sense leads to that Apes are not our ancestors and the theory of Darwin is completely false and illogical. You don't need to believe me either, believe your common sense, and your critical thinking. People should not believe everything they hear. People should use critical thinking and observations. Dont be like saying he or she they are scientists and who am i to ask or criticize, I'm not smart as these scientists. People should never believe anything and should criticize everything, whether it's religion or science. This is called critical thinking and using our common sense.
❤❤❤❤
Animals in the wild always self medicate. Instead of caging animals let them live free in nature even chickens we might learn a thing or two from them.
We are animals…
Bro better heal himself privately before the irs catches him😭🙏
kind of disrespectful unless it was a complex natgeo animatronic
Give these dudes another couple thousand years, and they'll be living in huts cooking their food.
Its called zoopharmacognosy & occurs in many species not just the ones we think are like us. Look up Caroline Ingraham applied zoopharmacognosy for many example videos of animals of all kinds self-selecting herbs & essential oils for medicinal use.
deer also do this it is amazing, but as humans we need to stop being so narcissistic and believe we are the only species with intelligence, or the ability to utilize our environments, medicine wise and other
We are NOT and never have come from monkey's
Even in Nature survival TV programs of Discovery Ch etc. Participants always try to find meat or any type of animals to feed their hungry stomach for proteins, they don't try to survive on plant based diet available in plenty, they even think yo leave the challange in absence of animals hunt to eat , why they show such behaviour
Yea he's smart… we're dumb…
They also throw poop at each other, so…
They're evolving
That's frightening as fuck
Fully closed within a couple of days is a lie C'mon.
I think they don’t want to pay tax that’s why 😅😂
If you have noticed in the past years all Animal intelligent has increased. At an alarming rate
Why God created animal look a like human
Animals know that certain plants are medicinal. Humans call the use of plants for medicine "quackery". Are humans really that smart?
Ummmmmm mmmm wtf 😳😳😳
🥲
Bro just trying to live
we putting him all over the news
Even dogs & cats know what to eat when they have stomach aches
In south India we see often animals treating them self with medicinal plants for their illness, like cats eats some specific plants roots ….
Lindus after 4000 years: 29th Avtar of Vishnu came in the form of Orangutan 🦧, he was the first medical scientist pro max, and he was so powerful, he jumped and eat milky way galaxy and saved the world from a Dangerous Rakshas 👺. 😂😂😂
Bruh what did you expect. They'll run to the hospital?
We Africans have known this for ages about animals and their intelligence of using herbs and other materials to cure their problem. So, when I heard and saw this publication, that portrays as if this is the first, I'm like what the heck!
I don't think it's all that different to digsband cats who lick their wounds to keep it clean.
Animals learn things from instinct or from what other creatures do.
Orang-utans like other primates follow by example so it's very possible that he has seen native people applying this leaf to their wounds and he has learnt through example.
Animals do know how to survive in the wild. How is it that cats know they shouldn't eat dead meat
Or that dogs can for a hierarchy or the beds know how to build their nest and bees make their honey.
Its all through instinct and example and the will to survive.
Maybe she came from orangutans but not me. 😂 Jesus Christ is my lord.
He just to showed us a herbal plant we can use to heal wounds and maybe some other diseases
So scientists saw this firsthand?Wow.Only a scientist with sharp eyes can understand what an Ape is doing when it is rubbing a wound with a leaf.WOW
apes has entred the stone age
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Coming soon to our Earth before the Dawn
Herbal medicine, not the bullshit which is fed to you by the pharmaceutical industry
Bro I didn't COME FROM A MONKEY 🤦🏿♂️💯I AIN'T CLOSE TO NO APE . Bro really in the forest. Studying how the learning to take over subliminally. Oh wait then they Drop another Movie 😂😂
In Africa this is how we have treated ourselves for thousands of years up until the white man introduced chemical antibiotics!
Beautiful! Incredible intelligence.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Lol? This is not new. Animals always use plans herbs to heal their injury.🤣😂 The swap of intellectual capacity 😂😊🤣 we are getting like like animals now.
