- This short piece of footage shows Oliver, an enigmatic chimpanzee who habitually walked upright bipedally, and was the subject of considerable zoological controversy from the mid-1970s onward as to whether he may represent an entirely new species of ape or even a humanzee (alleged human x chimpanzee hybrid). However, genetic analyses eventually revealed that he was neither, merely a very distinctive individual specimen of the common chimpanzee Pan troglodytes. This footage appeared in an epside of the short-lived 1990s UK TV show 'Fortean TV', and was narrated by Reverend Lionel Fanthorpe.

He walks like that because he's a tough guy.
He was kind of a tragic figure. He wasn't accepted by the other chimps. And he couldn't be passed off as a human, so he really had no one. Lonely life. Watching him walk was a cool thing. He walked on all fours at times, but could straighten up and walk like a human. It freaked the other chimps out. He should have been the chimp king! I think he was an evolutionary next step for the chimpanzee. I don't know about scientifically, but he was definitely different
Chimps walk upright.. This is a lack of knowledge. Most likely he was a Bonobo. A Bonobo is a chimpanzee.
He was Caesar in real life
@@kilaunoano he was an eternal victim, never having ANY of the recognition Caesar had
There's a zoo in Japan that has 3 former circus chimps, they can't be mixed with other chimps that weren't reared by people, they lack social skills. One of the chimps walks upright often because his knees and hips are damaged from being forced to walk upright.
Basically an australopithecus
Man look at his eyes... terrifying as fuck
Dude has better posture than most others men I know lol
You only know weak men ? Hahaha
0:58 the last sound you hear in a jungle when you are surrounded by vicious chimps
His DNA should have been preserved
People were pretty stupid back then SMH
it was tested tho. He was 100% chimpanzee bro
He was a regular chimp.
Poor Oliver got a raw deal from the git go!!!!
Special place in hell for some people 🙄
It's 2023 his body was exumed and his DNA came out as a normal ape with 48 chromosomes and his physical features were rare but not uncommon.
Oliver's body has not been and never can be exhumed, because when he died his body was cremated and his ashes spread on the grounds of the animal sanctuary where he'd been living. This was done specifically to prevent anyone exhuming him, it was felt that he deserved peace and privacy in death. Yes, DNA tests showing that he had the normal 48 chromosomes were indeed carried out, but while he was still alive.
@@czbikerguy 我在别的资讯看到它有47条染色体
@@MrGao-ny No, those claims are incorrect. He had 48 chromosomes, like normal chimpanzees, as fully documented in scientific, published genetic analyses.
Oliver's mitochondria RNA is different from other chimps.
If they were “rare” wouldn’t that make them “uncommon”?
0:14 LMAO the way he just stood there with his junk hanging out
So much confidence in his stance too😂😂
He had a horrible life. Never had a normal chimp life.
I think one of our ancestors mixed with a group of chimpanzees 3 million years ago, and its genetics became recessive in said group. So Oliver is probably the closest representation we have of our 3-million-year-old ancestor.
Poor guy 🥲
That guy is so sweet for being his friend. He seems like in this short segment he really tried his best
I know some neighbours behave like oliver.. 🙊
I see people dumber than Oliver on the news every night in orange jumpsuits.
@@patlynch3464 : And in the blm protests are more stupid than this chimpanzee!! definitely this chimpanzee is a hybrid from a african american woman an a chimpanzee!!
Guaranteed your girl likes them better than u
@@bigoneish oof
Came for the comments and the first few was what I expected…then….people got serious.
All chimps can walk on two feet but the bone structure makes it awkward.
well.. we can walk on all four and it doesnt look classy either..
Oliver missed his chance at becoming Ceasar and leading the rest of apekind to victory.
He didn't belong there he literally should of had his own house built for him or something.
they will never release the real test results he could be the next weapon
Dude, i know its disgusting but go google and look for human+ animal porn. You will find thousands of videos. Its mean there no chances that some stupid human try to fuck some poor animal. If here still no any chimeras its mean it will not work.
The way he walks is not very chimp like, it’s not even a crouch like posture
0:09 - tell me the women were't going "hmmm?"
Looks like he might have a little bit of down syndrome and a bit of a lighter case, not so severe
Or maybe he was inbred, sometimes chimpanzees are known to mate with their siblings or family
IDK this is just a theory I came up with . He could have gotten brain damage while in the wild. The wild is very rough on newborns and infants and all kinds of stuff happens in the wild
Chromosomal analyses confirmed that he had a typical chimp chromosome count (he would have had one extra chromosome if he'd exhibited Downs Syndrome), and far from being brain-damaged he was exceptionally intelligent and mentally capable. So I think he was simply a naturally gifted individual whose gifts had been augmented by his animal trainer owner for public display purposes.
@@czbikerguy I thought his chromosome count was one more than a human and one less than a chimpanzee
No, that's a common fallacy re Oliver. The actual chromosomal analyses conducted showed that he had a totally normal chimp chromosomal count, and the analyses were published in a scientific paper. @@fee4900
@@czbikerguy he just was raised by humans. He really loved human interaction.
Ele era uma celebridade até cair nas mãos dos malditos pesquisadores.
They should have put a little tuxedo on him
Very sad💔
He was known as 'tragic' lee griffiths. Lol
It's rather rank lmao
The unsure ones will come up with stupid theories that completely ignore all the information and only address one facet.
He’s is simply mimicking his human captors. No hang on a minute ( pardon the crap joke ) he’s bored out of his scull , Or he’s a chimp off the old block !
That's not even him....
Of course it's him, and his owner with him.They were often in the media back then. Check newspaper photos of him from that time.
Not surprisingly this clip makes for some interesting comments. The thing about the upright walking gait is possibly like a genetic sport maybe you have seen albino robins for example. If there was an evolutionary advantage then the female chips would have no choice but to mate with mutant. Over time scale of species and climate stress, all sorts of marvels likely came and went. All singing all dancing piano playing suits Hollywood but not Plecstocene tough conditions.
Not a humanzee…
Muy lindo esos espectáculos dónde cenas y ves a los mandriles hacer cosas y te divierten mientras disfrutas de una copa y/o una cena.
Prefiero los sitios donde cenas tranquilo y los animales libres, gracias.
He was a bonobo
No he wasn't - he was a common chimp, Pan troglodytes, as confirmed by genetic analyses - see my earlier detailed comments posted here. In any case, he looked nothing like a bonobo.
That’s not a bonobo, they’re more slender, with straight black fur on their heads and darker faces, this is an adult chimp
@@littleeddieii2002 Yes indeed, exactly.
Bonobos are smaller and slimmer than chimps.
@@cardboardbox5704 plus they are always dark skinned since birth unlike common chimps
He was not a chimp.
Yes he was - detailed genetic and chromosomal analyses confirmed that identity for him, beyond any doubt whatsoever. DNA analysis expert Dr John J. Ely from Texas's Trinity University and cytogeneticist Dr Charleen Moore from Texas University's Health Science Center conducted the most extensive genetic studies ever undertaken with Oliver. Their results were published in 1998 by the American Journal of Physical Anthropology and disclosed the following details. Standard chromosomal studies confirmed that Oliver had the diploid chromosome count expected for chimpanzees (i.e. 48, in 24 pairs). They also revealed that his chromosomes possessed banding patterns typical for the common chimpanzee but different from those of humans and bonobos, thereby excluding any possibility of Oliver being a hybrid. Moreover, when they sequenced a specific portion (312 bp region) of the D-loop region of Oliver's mitochondrial DNA, they discovered that its sequence corresponded very closely indeed with that of the Central African subspecies of common chimpanzee; and the closest correspondence of all was with a chimp specimen from Gabon in Central-West Africa. So, like I said, Oliver was a chimpanzee, no question.
What was he?
@@patlynch3464 See my earlier comment.
@@czbikerguy There are some very educated people out there that insist that apes and man are very close genetically, over 98 percent. What they leave out is a normal human and a mongoloid are over 99.9 percent genetically identical. Think about that. I'm not picking on Downs Syndrome people, but it's rare you see someone with Downs running a bank, or working as a nurse. That less than .1 percent is actually a huge difference and the 2 percent between man and ape is very different. I've never seen a chimp even get a job at McDonalds.
@@Gevixel LOL you are making my point. Man is not descended from apes. Modern Chimps are so far away from man. Just because they maybe the closest to man is dumb. There will always be something close. What is the animal most like modern apes? Are they just a fraction of DNA away from being apes. Evolution doesn't work, do the math.
