It’s also what helped to make “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” so effective. If they really did get super-intelligent, they could just embarrass humans physically.
It’s a gibbon, an ape like us. But how does it distinguish between male and female humans, Does he just go after the tallest human in a group?
Gibbons are semi-monogamous. The humans had a kid with them. Was the gibbon able to recognize a competing alpha male by observing a human family analogous to a gibbon family?
Typical douchebag behavior: first he shows off to get attention, then attacks someone weaker than himself. If apes wore clothes, you know his collar would be popped.
Well, generally speaking attacking things that are stronger than you tends to be somewhat non-conducive behavior in terms of surviving long enough to pass on one’s genetic material. Evolution breeds for picking on the weak, and then eating them most of the time.

Learning about where we come from helps us learn about where we’re going as a species.

It’s scary how athletic they are.

I didn’t think he was showing off so much as building speed. All I know is that when doomsday comes, I want that monkey on MY side!

^ True. If you don’t get dropkicked, you’ll more likely get poo thrown at you. I’ve always quietly admired that one.
