Apes honestly seem much more human than ”beastial” imo. It’s so strange that we keep them captive as display for amusement in some places. They’re just a very different form of ”human”, with still so many similarities to us.
The word orangutan literally means "forest-person": *«The name "orangutan" (also written orang-utan, orang utan, orangutang, and ourang-outang) is derived from the Malay words orang, meaning "person", and hutan, meaning "forest".»*
i watched a video where an orangutan was being taught a certain language where certain symbols translated into words, like an apple was a rectangle, circle in the middle and diagonal lines connecting to the circle, it was awesome.
Imagine living in a town in the US that knows nothing about Orangutans and their existence then seeing this and trying to explain it… kind of like Bigfoot.
See our ancestors were probably already walking on 2 feet pretty decently long before the first hominins. Hominins just became much better adapted at walking and running on 2 feet, due to their unique environmental pressures. So, it wasn’t a matter of doing something they hadn’t ever done before, rather it was just a matter of becoming better at something they were already doing.
Looks so prehistoric
Thank you for this work of art
He just evolved, soon he will build cities
Looks like a person in an orange ghillie suit.

@@hoon_sol Yeah, I've heard it means "old man of the forest".
@@antiHUMANDesigns:
As my comment said very explicitly, it just means "person of the forest"; there's nothing about the term meaning "old" at all.
@@hoon_sol OK, it's just what I've heard.
He's just like me

Talk about being in the" stone" age 🍃
When you smoke weed twice:
You can see orangutans walking upright all day in Baltimore City they squeege windshields

This was once a man but he ascended to the monke
What if the gigantopithecus spicies walked upright. Just 3 m tall hairy dudes.
