I myself theorize that human dance is a leftover from our own social displays, however chimps are so closely related to us that since we have specific reactions to music and beats that i wouldve been more surprised if they had no reaction
These chimps are freaking the fuck out. This is scared/aggressive behavior not dancing as observed by the females going high to safety/hiding behind pillars and the head male aggressively patrolling the perimeter barring teeth even going so far as to attack the wall. Chimps do not engage in pro-social dancing, do not understand rythm in any meaningful way that we've seen and in almost every study seem to hate human music and get violent. I understand these guys probably had good intentions but this is animal abuse
For real these chimps fucking hate this they are clearing freaking out/responding aggressively. People need to understand that primate body language is not very similar to Human's.
This actually makes more sense than it might seem at first. One thing that powerful (and often aggressive) music has in common with alpha male chimp dominance displays is that both involve hair standing on end and goosebumps. When chimps do it, they also stand upright like a human in order to be appear taller and more intimidating. It wouldn't surprise me if getting shivers from amazing music is an evolutionary leftover from a much earlier time when similar music would have been used to make its performers appear more intimidating in a similar way. There's just one difference between modern chimps and early human ancestors, though -- our ancestors slowly evolved toward altruism and cooperation over intimidation tactics in order to bring about social order. Some anthropologists have speculated that early music would have more likely been used to scare competing species -- lions, etc. -- during hunts instead of human neighbors.
@@johnbob914 We don't actually know exactly when music evolved, though, because you can't preserve music in the archaeological record. It could be a million years old or only 200,000 years old. We really don't know. It's just interesting to speculate about.
@@zack2804that's completely not true, only alpha males routinely can be violent and that's only when they're doing a display or putting one of the troops members in their place. If you knew anything about chimpanzees you would know that they really aren't violent unless provoked especially females can be extremely gentle and kind these are the closest living relative to human beings they have 98% of our DNA are extremely intelligent and you would do yourself a favor by doing some research instead of just making assumptions.
Nah he's just doing a little display that's what male chimpanzees do he's like hey look at me a lot of behavior especially from male chimpanzees can be misunderstood as if they're angry when they're just excited these animals are so much more intelligent than you would ever imagine.
It looks to me as though the chimps were annoyed at the drumming: they were giving threat displays. They couldn't get at the drummers and they couldn't escape the noise. Drumming and repetitive metallic clinking and shouted chants most likely sound like challenges and dominance displays. When chimps make a dominance display they clash rocks and branches together and scream. Probably these poor chimps thought that their territory was about to be invaded. Think things through before you have a musical ego trip.
To: Fiona Tanzer - It is noticeable that the chimpanzee that appears to be 'displaying' is rather large and may well be the 'alpha' male of this troop. There is the well-documented case of Dr. Jane Goodall, the pre-eminent authority on wild chimpanzees, who observed that a, not particularly likely contender physically, became the 'alpha' male , intellectually, because he discovered that by banging and pushing along, two discarded fuel cans, he was able to create a cacophony that agitated the other chimpanzees so much, that they acquiesced to his new-found leadership skills. Filmed recordings have clearly shown that when territorial disputes or attacks occur chimpanzees will also scream and launch and kick at tree-trunks to create a din and instill fear in their intended opposition. I am not implying that chimpanzees do not have the ability to appreciate music. One only has to watch videos where they seem quite relaxed or immersed in the natural sounds of their environment, such as birdsong. It may be pertinent to note that the 'natura'l music of our world comes predominantly from what are known as 'wind' instruments. I strongly suspect that their response would be different if instruments which make considered use of this natural physical phenomenon were to be employed. Ha,ha! It would seem that even snakes can be partial to a well-played pipe.
Could spend a few bucks on a semi decent artist to paint the trees into the wall so it blends somewhat.. its a big blue cinderblock box... I know most are so underfunded. I feel bad making the statement, but it really doesnt have to be great.. im sure theres a willing Picasso on staff.
Obviously they didn't like it, they were like "SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THE NOISE" and they even started to scream and fight each other at one point. Listening to this shit is like torture.
@@Assdafflabaff they Obviously loved it they were hyped up like any good rave screaming and fighting one another at one point. Listening to this is was grand for em.
I thought the same, but i think they would've tried throwing something at them if they really didn't like the music. Maybe they were just raving like people in a concert
Percussion is most likely the easiest thing for them to understand/react to.(in my opinion btw im no zoologist) its probably a more familiar than say, the sound of a brass or reed instrument
@@threadierohio1675 They are not understanding the percussion here. If you pay close attention the times that they move to the beat are largely coincidental and very aggressive. The main male here is showing clear aggression/protection signs and many of the others are distressed and afraid. Chimps are much better at understanding melodies (especially classical music) in repeated studies no primates have been shown to be able to replicate or track beats long term (more than 10 seconds) The only animals we have found so far that can are Seals, Elephants, Dolphins, Bats, some birds and probably some others I'm forgetting but not Primates (that we've conclusively observed). In almost every study (except one with really bad methodology including no control group at all) Chimps and Bonobos pretty much hate human music especially fast polyrhythms like most African beats. They seem to hate Indian music the least and they're ok with very slow classical European music but they always preferred silence. I can understand why it would seem touching and like these guys are connecting with the chimps but this is basically unknowing animal abuse.
@@threadierohio1675 Side note: that's just in studies for instrumental music. In other studies Chimps do seem to be soothed sometimes by slow melodic human singing without percussion. I believe they used Celine Dion and Enya in the study but I'll have to find the source. It would make sense though since that'd be the closest to Chimp noises. Other exceptions to the rule is monkeys seem to kinda like piano music and Gorillas don't totally hate classical rock and modern country like FG Line (which as a country fan I don't consider country lol)
Holy crap! @ 1:00 that poor chimp at the very bottom of the screen has hemroids so bad his pooper is nearly dragging the ground.He must've strained to hard and blew out his O ring in a poop throwing contest.
Yes. That was a male doing a dominance display. The other adult males were doing likewise. They are the experts, but this experiment seems weird to me as the chimps look to be quite agitated.
Yes when chimps are excited they too like to make noise. Banging, slapping and shaking things is a show of excitement. It's not always aggression, as some people like to think. There is a great vid of Gizmo, a resident at Chimp Haven doing his own drum solo. Check it out. Chimps like noise. As for raised hair, pilo erection, is also an effect of excitement, not just aggression. People are far too quick to decide that the behaviours are aggression because they don't understand chimpanzee expression or behaviour.
Why does percussion make us wanna dance? Simple: it’s an easy to understand puzzle. When you syncopate rhythms, you attempt to subdivide the pulses in all sorts of crazy ways to obscure the main pulse underlying everything. Instinctively, we hear that the chaos has a pattern and have an urge to create pulses of our own to underline the basal “phantom” pulse we’re hearing. This has nothing to do with ancient war dances or whatever. We just like easy puzzles
I support animal research, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel bad for those chimps. Most of them were probably used for entertainment until they stopped being cute and wobbly, at which point they were probably sold off to some company in New England to test boner pills. Then there were probably bunch of dickhead janitors waving cameras in their faces for the sake of showing the world how freaked out a caged animal gets when some strangers gets in its space with threatening body language. No wonder those guys end up freaking out and ripping people apart. The best you could say about their lives is that it's like being kidnapped by aliens...
The majority of these chimps were never wild and bred for research in facilities. Most had never touch grass or seen the sun. Most of these chimps are second and third generation research chimps born in the USA. Most were taken from their mothers within 24 - 48 hours of birth. Chimps also display when excited, not just when angry. If you knew a little more about chimp behaviour you could tell the difference. They are far more complex beings than you give credit.
@@DonknowwwJesus Christ do you know anything about chimpanzee behavior he was just doing a little display that's what male chimps do when they get excited.
Are you freaking kidding do you realize how big the sanctuary is? It's like 20-something acres these chimpanzees have acres of woodland that they just go out and climb trees NB chimpanzees this one little spot right here is just one of their little play areas. Do you have any clue what you're even talking about these chimpanzees are all retired lab chimps some of them spent 25-30 years locked in a 6×10 cage never seen the Sun never getting any fresh air never touching grass never seeing the sky and most of them never even seen another chimpanzee and you think this is horrible this is like heaven to them. They could have all been euthanized but Congress passed a law in 2016 that retired all lab chimps n the US and passing a law that they had to all be put in a humane sanctuary. They get great food they get to be with other chimps most of were born in captivity and raised by humans they wouldn't be able to make it in the wild so these places are the best option. Do a little more research on the sanctuaries in the US and you'll see that they're very good places the best actually.
The backdrop is surrounded by trees and the chimp penitentiary has one dried up leafless trunk. And the human trying hard to make chimps feel at home. The irony.
Lol so many trolls trying to play the racism card, it's ironic they say those hurtful things when we all came from the same common ancestors in Africa, so really they are just making fun of themselves. Silly fools.
Hey man I appreciate the sentiment and yeah we're all indigenous to the earth but we're not chimps and chimps don't like drums....if we try and see "humanness" in other animals we often misunderstand them and it kinda centralizes us instead of meeting them where they're at.
If you take a look at the youtube videos of male chimps displaying at their own image in a mirror, getting really frustrated and perplexed and more emphatic as their own image displays right back at them you might be seeing something similar. That racket the people are making, from the chimps’ perspectives not necessarily mine, might be a pretty powerful display that the dominant male was not going to take or understand its origin or intent. He kept up his display and endeavored to show his dominance while the people continued on with their drumming that went on, unperturbed, while he was basically telling them to shut up and get lost. I do believe that like us animals can be influenced by music and sound. I don’t believe that is anthropomorphism. But if you saw this display behavior in the wild you would not likely attribute it to the chimpanzee having a good time with those he was displaying at or at the musicians who would be making those loud and persistent sounds. You’d be trying to escape or protect yourself. Why then, when people are drumming like that, do we assume that the same chimpanzee behavior means he is having an awesome time and thinks he’s diggin’ it at some rock concert? That, to me at least, is a manifestation of anthropomorphism that we need to be careful of. You see it in similar situations on other videos and I have n mind the one where the musician sits outside the fence just a few feet from the chimpanzees and plays his little percussion instrument. I would say the guy is very good at the instrument. The females and a few non-dominant males seem curious about the sounds being made. But not the alpha male who displays loudly, aggressively and then basically takes his frustration out on some lower ranking male. The alpha is not happy and clearly wants the musician ‘intruder’ and threat to dominance to leave. Clapping supposedly in time (I don’t think it necessarily was) was an escalation to the chimpanzee’s display not a case of the chimpanzee grooving to the music.
The best video online providing a visual example of chimpanzees ignoring or getting frustrated at human behavior. This video is also a great example of the human trait of seeing what one wants to see regardless to the obvious fact that what you want to see is not present. Come on, I mean, get real. It is painfully obvious that the chimpanzees are oblivious to the annoying bongo band.
segundooron Same applies to you. You don't even know chimpanzees. How are so sure that they are annoyed? Because you are annoyed? It doesn't work like that.
Ninjaananas Exactly that guys is a know it all. Also, you just now made me come to a realization that not all chimps will have the same personality. Some will like the music and some will dislike it
They are not oblivious. They are reacting. The males are all doing their dominance displays - raised hair, charging around on two legs waving their arms, slapping walls, etc. They are certainly not happy or relaxed.
Those chimps were not enjoying the beat. They were getting agitated by the noise and viewed it as an encroachment to their territory. They were ready to to attack what the thought as an opposing troop.
Kamikaze Yamamoto, you're wrong, Detroit only produced some of the best classic SOUL music, what you're hearing is a new non-invasive procedure for earwax removal, I trust that's what your comment meant?
It is an ancient calling within animals and humans- to respond with rhythm to music… because it initiates feelings and emotion inside. Even plants respond to it.
I bet they've felt threatened by the drums and chanting. It must've sounded like s display of power and dominance to them, possibly an announcement of war. So it could only have made them restless and nervous. Seems humans seriously lack intuition to me. 😁
exactly .. the one chimp slamming himself into the wall should be a huge clue that they are feeling annoyed and threatened by the noise ... they are all displaying not dancing!! What a shame that people taking care of these animals don't even understand how to read them!!

That, to me at least, is a manifestation of anthropomorphism that we need to be careful of.
You see it in similar situations on other videos and I have n mind the one where the musician sits outside the fence just a few feet from the chimpanzees and plays his little percussion instrument. I would say the guy is very good at the instrument. The females and a few non-dominant males seem curious about the sounds being made. But not the alpha male who displays loudly, aggressively and then basically takes his frustration out on some lower ranking male. The alpha is not happy and clearly wants the musician ‘intruder’ and threat to dominance to leave. Clapping supposedly in time (I don’t think it necessarily was) was an escalation to the chimpanzee’s display not a case of the chimpanzee grooving to the music.
I love this video!!!
We must return to monke
Is no-one gonna mention the siZe of the sack on one of those fellas? Dudes packing some serious heat! Respect
Lol one of them keeps trying to start a moshpit
The drumming was a challenge to their enclosed turf.
Now show us how they'd react to speed metal and headbanging.
Give the chimps their own percussion instruments to play with...!
Im not suprised they are mad this Music Sound like cave man Drums
What no star wipe?
Those chimps keep looking at the ones pounding on the drums and making all that annoying racket and thinking how much the drum-beaters look familiar.
The best video online providing a visual example of chimpanzees ignoring or getting frustrated at human behavior. This video is also a great example of the human trait of seeing what one wants to see regardless to the obvious fact that what you want to see is not present.
Come on, I mean, get real. It is painfully obvious that the chimpanzees are oblivious to the annoying bongo band.
segundooron or the human trait of being paranoid about simple things

Same applies to you. You don't even know chimpanzees. How are so sure that they are annoyed? Because you are annoyed? It doesn't work like that.
Ninjaananas Exactly that guys is a know it all. Also, you just now made me come to a realization that not all chimps will have the same personality. Some will like the music and some will dislike it
Rally Boyd true mate it could be worse tho
They are not oblivious. They are reacting. The males are all doing their dominance displays - raised hair, charging around on two legs waving their arms, slapping walls, etc. They are certainly not happy or relaxed.
@blaziermissy its at chinp haven its so awesome there!! just went there for my first time a week ago
Sweet
still more talented then nickelback
Ya know that music is sort of like the music in a documentary or something in like the Neanderthal ages
Caesar Lives. 🐵
This reminds me of tarzan when they were trashin the camp
If I hated the music no wonder the chimps were going bat shit crazy over this annoying noise they’re calling “music”.
Yes, the males were tripping hard...Displying their power, just like boysdo around girls....
WHY THEY MAD
u make them angry
First one be groovin tho
Those chimps were not enjoying the beat. They were getting agitated by the noise and viewed it as an encroachment to their territory. They were ready to to attack what the thought as an opposing troop.
There seems to be an intelligence to Their movements.
They seem to be performing a ritual of sorts.
In due time, They Shall RISEEE!
Legendary tire slap at 1:25
@RonHardy this is proff that several millions of years back we looked like them... we are similar
Welcome to Detroit.
Kamikaze Yamamoto, you're wrong, Detroit only produced some of the best classic SOUL music, what you're
hearing is a new non-invasive procedure for earwax removal, I trust that's what your comment meant?
@@majesticworld255 That is clearly not what his comment meant, how bad are you at getting jokes? xD
1:00 Someone has a hemorrhoid problem!
no, it's their vagina!
I thought that was a scrotum.
That's _clearly_ a ballsack...
These are Lab chimps or ex Lab chimps
It is an ancient calling within animals and humans- to respond with rhythm to music… because it initiates feelings and emotion inside. Even plants respond to it.
The power of good vibes, and music! 😊
Great video. Where is this located in Louisiana?
I bet they've felt threatened by the drums and chanting. It must've sounded like s display of power and dominance to them, possibly an announcement of war. So it could only have made them restless and nervous. Seems humans seriously lack intuition to me. 😁
exactly .. the one chimp slamming himself into the wall should be a huge clue that they are feeling annoyed and threatened by the noise ... they are all displaying not dancing!! What a shame that people taking care of these animals don't even understand how to read them!!
It seems like the troupe leaders don't like subordinates or females dancing along with them, and some of them actually just hate this style of music.
Try dancing around and note what they learn.
I agree their hair is up the are walking bipedal, banging themselves, it is definitely irritating
hmmmm..... "starts playing pantera Walk"
they seem kinda stressed out tbh
