WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.882
So, Ben, do you like movies?

00:00:01.882 --> 00:00:02.792
Yeah, I love movies

00:00:02.964 --> 00:00:04.604
Like, uh, Point Break!

00:00:04.617 --> 00:00:06.577
Yeah, and Top Gun!

00:00:06.634 --> 00:00:08.896
And Lethal Weapon 4!

00:00:08.934 --> 00:00:10.914
And You've Got Mail!

00:00:11.925 --> 00:00:12.625
What?

00:00:15.850 --> 00:00:18.060
Today, we are lucky to have Ben Bowlin

00:00:18.073 --> 00:00:19.621
From Brain Stuff

00:00:19.647 --> 00:00:21.697
Over to discuss friendship

00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.659
Chimpanzee friendship to be exact

00:00:24.673 --> 00:00:26.493
A recent study from the University

00:00:26.493 --> 00:00:27.789
of Vienna Austria

00:00:27.789 --> 00:00:29.369
And the University of

00:00:29.369 --> 00:00:30.299
Zurich, Switzerland

00:00:30.299 --> 00:00:32.228
Has found that Chimpanzees

00:00:32.228 --> 00:00:33.811
Form their friendship

00:00:33.811 --> 00:00:35.999
Based on similar personalities

00:00:35.999 --> 00:00:38.319
Yeah just like how we tend

00:00:38.319 --> 00:00:39.824
To gravitate towards people

00:00:39.824 --> 00:00:41.243
With like-minded interests

00:00:41.243 --> 00:00:42.859
So do chimpanzees

00:00:43.050 --> 00:00:44.268
Uh, for instance

00:00:44.268 --> 00:00:46.083
Like, Alex, be both get along

00:00:46.083 --> 00:00:47.746
Because we like the same movies

00:00:47.746 --> 00:00:49.290
And chimps tend to get along

00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:50.133
With other chimps

00:00:50.133 --> 00:00:51.870
Who are either just as outgoing

00:00:51.870 --> 00:00:54.231
Or just as introverted as themselves

00:00:54.513 --> 00:00:56.109
Biologists Yorg Mason

00:00:56.109 --> 00:00:57.573
And Sonia Kosky

00:00:57.573 --> 00:00:59.175
Observed that chimpanzees

00:00:59.175 --> 00:01:01.306
Tend to sit in body contact

00:01:01.306 --> 00:01:03.472
With other chimpanzees of the similar

00:01:03.472 --> 00:01:04.850
Personality types

00:01:04.850 --> 00:01:07.185
So, what does this say about us?

00:01:07.185 --> 00:01:08.378
It's a great question

00:01:08.378 --> 00:01:10.293
Because we have to be careful not to

00:01:10.293 --> 00:01:11.759
Read too much into this

00:01:11.759 --> 00:01:14.025
But then again, humans and chimpanzees

00:01:14.025 --> 00:01:15.662
Are pretty closely related

00:01:15.662 --> 00:01:17.727
So in a way, it's not surprising

00:01:17.727 --> 00:01:20.177
That a lot of your friends will tend to

00:01:20.177 --> 00:01:21.657
Be in the same sort of things

00:01:22.037 --> 00:01:24.116
Whether you're a person or a chimp

00:01:24.155 --> 00:01:26.177
Alright, Ben, well thanks for stopping by

00:01:26.177 --> 00:01:28.292
Um, I've got to go see that movie

00:01:28.456 --> 00:01:30.616
Uh, Gravity!

00:01:30.693 --> 00:01:34.043
Yeah, I heard it's showing at 7 pm

00:01:35.305 --> 00:01:36.193
We got to go

00:01:36.193 --> 00:01:38.943
Yeah! Do di do di do di do

00:01:39.405 --> 00:01:40.190
Alright, guys

00:01:40.190 --> 00:01:40.932
Well don't

00:01:40.932 --> 00:01:41.672
Forget to check
