So, Ben, do you like movies?
Yeah, I love movies
Like, uh, Point Break!
Yeah, and Top Gun!
And Lethal Weapon 4!
And You've Got Mail!
What?
Today, we are lucky to have Ben Bowlin
From Brain Stuff
Over to discuss friendship
Chimpanzee friendship to be exact
A recent study from the University
of Vienna Austria
And the University of
Zurich, Switzerland
Has found that Chimpanzees
Form their friendship
Based on similar personalities
Yeah just like how we tend
To gravitate towards people
With like-minded interests
So do chimpanzees
Uh, for instance
Like, Alex, be both get along
Because we like the same movies
And chimps tend to get along
With other chimps
Who are either just as outgoing
Or just as introverted as themselves
Biologists Yorg Mason
And Sonia Kosky
Observed that chimpanzees
Tend to sit in body contact
With other chimpanzees of the similar
Personality types
So, what does this say about us?
It's a great question
Because we have to be careful not to
Read too much into this
But then again, humans and chimpanzees
Are pretty closely related
So in a way, it's not surprising
That a lot of your friends will tend to
Be in the same sort of things
Whether you're a person or a chimp
Alright, Ben, well thanks for stopping by
Um, I've got to go see that movie
Uh, Gravity!
Yeah, I heard it's showing at 7 pm
We got to go
Yeah! Do di do di do di do
