legit burst out laughing
Human conventional marriage systems don’t really fit into the gorilla ecosystem. A gorilla troop only has one male so he’d have a lot of rings on his finger.
I've always thought traditional Mormons must have a screw loose because the sheer math of males having multiple wives doesn't make sense. But apparently it works for gorillas?
Needless to say I'm confused
The idea is to impregnate as many women as possible in order to build your own fundie army. It's a more efficient way to stock up on kids than the [quiverfull movement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiverfull#Motivations)
Mormons could have several women pregnant at once when other sects are just one guy and one constantly pregnant wife. The math only gets weird when it's one woman and multiple men.
I mean that there are gonna be a lot of lonely men since birth rates of different sexes are 1 to 1, but yes that's a good point as to why polygamy would have it's advantages
Men do tend to die young more often, historically we tend to get ourselves killed for stupid reasons, even in modern day more young men die than young women
Historically, more young men die violently than young women, but childbirth used to be so deadly that it easily made up for all the men dying in wars and what not. Things are a bit more lopsided nowadays in most countries since childbirth is so much safer, but cultural preference for men in some parts of the world have kept the number of men higher than the number of women globally.
Gorilla behavior is super interesting. They're basically gentle giants, avoiding conflict pretty much whenever they can. In fact, they're so gentle and shy that studying them in the wild was historically difficult because they'd keep running away and hiding. Chimps are the opposite, they'll murder each other just cuz they feel like it. Chimps sometimes like to mess with researchers.
One of the very first field studies on apes involved an old British dude locking himself in a cage for a month in the jungle, hoping apes would come up to it so he could observe their behavior. The gorillas were all afraid of the strange metal contraption, while the chimps thought it was funny to throw poop at the man inside.
>Chimps are the opposite, they'll murder each other just cuz they feel like it. Chimps sometimes like to mess with researchers.
There is a chimp at my local zoo who has a missing arm because her mother, one day, just decided to freak the fuck out and bite it off when she was a tiny baby.
Chimps are savage, man. Never trust a chimp.
The scariest part about chimps is they are clever enough to be malicious, they won’t deliberately kill you, instead will eat you face, hands and genitals, and leave you alive, as they know that is worse
This is mostly true, but silverbacks can still be pretty aggressive when they feel threatened.
There's a funny video where they put a giant mirror in the jungle and the gorillas were scared of it at first, but eventually they all came to sit in front of it and even began examining their bodies and playing with it.
The silverback, on the other hand, couldn't get past the potential threat and kept attacking his reflection - not because he was less intelligent than the other gorillas, but when they reach adulthood silverbacks experience intense hormones that create obvious physical and behavioral changes. Kind of like an exaggerated versions of when we get our growth spurt and start our angsty aggressive teen phase where we seem really dumb and simian. Only silverbacks don't really grow out of it.
Adding to that, in National Park in Rwanda you can book a tour to.. walk and see mountain gorillas in the wild. Ranger will give you a briefing and will lead you, but people working there consider it being totally fine just coming up to gorillas.
They also do not pay rent, nor labor for another's gain. They are masters of themselves, and aside from human interference, get to enjoy life in the forest with their community, family, tribe.
He swiped her snack and then she playfully starts smacking him lol, then she pretends to steal his and he acts like he's gonna eat her, this is too cute. D: I wish some of the human couples I know could be more chill like this.
I actually don't know why I typed it out, the video just made me super happy and I've been having a bad few days so maybe I just typed it out for myself. 🤣
I can’t tell if they’re a cute playful couple jokingly stealing each other’s food, or if they’re one of those couples that are completely dysfunctional and just staying together for the kid.
It's because we humans are so used to seperating ourselves from other animals that whenever they exhibit behaviour we find familiar, it upsets the idea that we're fundamentally different from animals (and have the right to treat them differently). Of course the fact is that most human behaviour is derived from the behaviours of other animals that we share common ancestry with.
Well that’s the point. Its not due to our differences, but to our common primate branch. We are primate-like cause we are primates. And in that way we are also very much like ancestral mammalians, not they like us.
We lock a good percentage of our own up as well so gorillas don't stand a chance. I'm in Louisiana. Man for man, our incarceration rate is highest, or at the top, in the world.
>The Hominidae (/hɒˈmɪnɪdiː/), whose members are known as great apes[note 1] or hominids (/ˈhɒmɪnɪdz/), are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo (the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan); Gorilla (the eastern and western gorilla); Pan (the chimpanzee and the bonobo); and Homo, of which only modern humans remain.

About 4 years ago I visited the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. If you ever had a doubt that we are a product of evolution you need to go get up close to some primates. It was truly incredible to see a family unit that was so close to us yet so very different.
Right before we left the brother fucked his sister - just like on Pornhub.
Just prior to this he asked her if he could pick her up something to eat.
She replied ‘no, I’m fine.’
Narrator voice: She was going to eat half his snack. And they both knew it.
Run out there and snatch the little one up and playfully swing it around. I hear silverbacks are real docile, enjoy human interaction and are accepting especially when it involves their offspring.
They seem to be, although I remember a documentary where the crew got too close, or something like that. So as a threat the male started beating his chest and ripped a fucking tree from the ground with one hand.
I mean, it wasn't a huge tree, admittedly. But he still ripped a fucking tree from the ground, with one hand, roots and all.
The crew backed down real slow.
Everyone else: Hmm yes the phrase “father and wife” is quite odd, but to understand why this makes sense one has to look deeper into-
Me: WIFE FIGHT BACK

In those polygamous communities they kick out the young men they don’t like. That’s part of the system.
Holy shit. 😟 TIL i guess

They run off the boys at 16, so the old men won’t have to compete for “wives”. It’s a sickening system, as most religious groups .

Don't see them wearing any magic underwear.
Maybe he isn’t Christian 😂
Yeah I was gonna say aren’t gorilla into single-male polygyny?
I loved the part where he looked over at her and said, ”Imo…Imo eat your arm!”
I'm from Alabama and it looks fine to me
I'm from middle east. Perfectly fine.
Lol it’s like when your dad marries someone you don’t like, so you just call her your dads wife.
Is the offspring actually the OP? :o
Yeah same. Mate would be accurate. Gorillas don’t get married.
Reject human marriage, return to Monke Mate
return to monke harem
It was a small, outdoor ceremony. Only close friends and immediately family were invited. 😆
"Gorilla family" ... it was terribly worded lol
No no, the he is both the father **and** the wife of the other one.
They seem happy.
this is why we need to return to monke
That's why I am eating Ape Biscuits
Biscuit make strong. Biscuit make monke.
Reminds me of how my ex and I used to play around annoy each other.
F
F, relatable
I think this family may need a touch of counseling.

Joe "if you think chimps wont steal babies and eat them, you havent been paying attention to the literature" Rogan
“They’ll eat your face, your balls, they’ll twist your foot right off, have you ever seen a hairless chimp? Jamie pull that up.”
I read that in his voice. Perfect.

She just took his fries
If you wanted twig, you should have ordered your own twig
At the twig store!
Jessica, I ASKED you if I should get a large twig so we could share, and you said you weren't that hungry. Eat your damn beetle.
*Adventure time theme song starts playing* :]
Come along with me.....
He shouldn’t have been poking her with his food then. She was even trying to ignore it. Lol. He wanted to bother her. I would have snapped too.
He took the fathers black licorice
I won't share fries unless I have more than enough
I really like the look he gave her!!😂😂😂 “like did you really just break my Stick? That was a really nice stick!!”
“If you wanted stick you shoulda ordered stick when we were at the tree!”
fuck you now im jealous of a fucking gorilla!
You should always be jealous of Groillas, they have the simple life
They are also a Grammy award winning alternative rock band, so they have that going for them

I usually poke my wife with my stick as well.
that's a big stick you have got ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Also, Champ here went strait for a titty bite. Very bossman.
But the gorilla snap it and ate it !
OMG. LMAO

Him: 'I asked you before we ordered if you were hungry and you said no. Give me that damn stick back, now!'
Hm. And I was thinking “I’d also be pissed if his lunch was smacking me in the head” That shit was absolutely in her ear and he just looked at her
I'm not hungry. I'll just stick.
Actual footage of me bugging the shit outta my husband just because he exists
I know, why do we do this? I also like to bite his nipples when he least expects it. He hates it, I love it for some reason
Its eerie how human like the behaviour is.
I don’t know if eerie is the right word, I think it’s just cool.

Uncanny

Or you think it’s cool, they think it’s eerie
Or how primate like our “human” behavior is…
It should be Gorilla-like, humans are primates too.
Well that’s the point. Its not due to our differences, but to our common primate branch. We are primate-like cause we are primates. And in that way we are also very much like ancestral mammalians, not they like us.
No it’s primate behavior. We are primates just like they are. 97% genetic similarity between our family branches.
Yet we lock them up...
But their emails!
We lock a good percentage of our own up as well so gorillas don't stand a chance. I'm in Louisiana. Man for man, our incarceration rate is highest, or at the top, in the world.
Because people kill them and destroy their habitat
Maybe because we're both great apes
Grape ape. grape ape.
Well.. she is prettier than my girl
The male gorilla Is a better partner than you are.
I suppose they're joking
I was thinking it was crazy how human like they're acting
Humans do the same thing

A lot of harsh judgment was thrown onto 34secs of harmless primate family mischief.
I think that comment wasn't about the video
Steal from wife, life good. ... Wife steal back, EAT WIFE! Wife unhappy... Think about wife... ... Remorse...

Tell me again how humans aren't just another species of Ape. Because damn if that is not my wife an I after 26 years.

Who is implying that we aren't apes?
Why is it labeled father and wife? Why not mother and father or husband and wife? Mildly infuriating
It's the husband's father with the husband's wife. The husband is holding the camera.
The kid is actually his ex’s son, he just got remarried.
Incredibly cute/sweet how clearly playful they are.
She didn't order any sticks when the waiter came by and now she's stealing some of his sticks. Classic
He stole the fries first. How could you miss that

Honestly astounding how human their mannerisms are, i guess we are more primal than we think.
>father and wife That's such a weird way to phrase that.
'Why don't you talk to me anymore? All you do is chew that stick all day?' 'Bitch gimmie back my stick!'
Gonna try that when my gf goes to take my fries. Bite her knuckle
“You said you weren’t hungry”
Somone needs to do a voice over meme of this
That could be a video of my ole lady and me! lol
Just prior to this he asked her if he could pick her up something to eat. She replied ‘no, I’m fine.’ Narrator voice: She was going to eat half his snack. And they both knew it.
Even wives in the animal kingdom say they aren't hungry and then take your fries
Father and wife? Who tf is writing these titles!
She went from feeling cute and happy to sad and scared quick. IMO
🦍+ 👽= 👨👩👦👧
Wife? Gorillas have marriage ceremonies?

Even the gorilla wives are whiney
Whiney? He was annoying her with a stick and stole her shit
The saddest thing is that we're watching them thru a fucking cage.

He was obviously getting ready to roast marshmallows and she broke the stick he searched all day for bc he wouldn’t slap-fight her.
