Slippery slope, people. First they learn to use our tools, then they come in and take all of our jobs. And then they’ll want healthcare. Between the monkeys and the bloodthirsty robots, I feel disrespected as a hardworking American.
Why I love Attenborough! New episode Monday, but I’ll miss it since I’m going to see Stewart Lee live! Will have to catch the ‘Life’ repeat next Saturday, such a wait
I’m with The LHS – first robots & monkeys, what next? Ninjas and pirates?! Good gravy! What if this semi-sapience eventually extends to (gasp! choke!)… clowns?
Dr. dave: at about the 2-minute mark, with the slow-mo and all it’s a direct reference to 2001. They should have played ‘Also spracht Zarathustra’ to make it completely obvious. But the Blue Danube Waltz is subtler
What do creationists have to say about this by the way, and all it implies about the supposed uniqueness of human intelligence?

David Attenborough rules.
Oh, sure, but let’s see them BLAST their anvils 200 ft. into the air, with the 1812 Overture as accompaniment! Then I’ll be impressed.
from BBC’s Natural World (2008) “Clever Monkeys”

Pretty amazing.
Those must be some seriously tasty nuts…

Why is nature so amazing? Also, that jaguar is beautiful.

I heard several species of monkey have already legalized gay marriage.
Has anyone checked for a large black monolith nearby??
(The Strauss is a nice reference – I assume intentional?)
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I bet those monkeys taste delicious!
