Chimpanzee?

Anyone have any idea about any message a chimpanzee might have for me please, personally I don't like them but that's beside the point, thanks

The hero in this story is a human being named Rick Swope who visits the
Detroit zoo once a year with his family. One day, as he watched the chimpanzees in their big
new enclosure, a fight broke out between two adult males. Jojo, who had been at the zoo for
years, was challenged by a younger and stronger newcomer, and Jojo lost. In his fear he fled into
the moat which was brand new, and Jojo did not understand water. He had gotten over the barrier
erected to prevent the chimpanzees from falling in—for they cannot swim—and the group of
visitors and staff that happened to be there watched in horror as Jojo began to drown. He went
under once, twice, three times. Rick Swope could bear it no longer. He jumped in to try to save
the chimp, despite onlookers yelling at him about the danger. He managed to get Jojo's dead
weight over his shoulder, and then crossed the barrier and pushed Jojo onto the bank of the
island. Rick held him there—the bank was very steep and if he were to let go Jojo would slide
back into the water—even when the other chimps charged toward him, screaming in excitement.
Rick held Jojo until he raised his head, took a few staggering steps, and collapsed on more level
ground.
The director of the institute called Rick. “That was a brave thing you did. You must have
known how dangerous it was. What made you do it?”

“Well, I looked into his eyes. And it was like looking into the eyes of a man. And the
message was, ‘Won't anybody help me?’”
Rick Swope risked his life to save a chimpanzee, a nonhuman being who sent a message
that a human could understand. Now it is up to the rest of us to join in too.

What a beautiful story.....I liked that very much....
Isn't it down in history that we came from apes?    We matured over the years,our body matured from losing the hair,the features of the Ape etc.    

Even apes in Zoos,even though they are kept in cages,must mature through passing through our times.   Our more modern times.
They understand what we say,do we understand them?

Sorry Violet,moved from your question....a chimpanzee?   
Now chimpanzee is a more intelligent monkey than others,I think.
Something about moving forward in the future?  
Progression?  Apes are progressing all the time....
  Sorry,that's all I could think of....

Ohhh.. I really don't like when people say they maybe descendants of primates.  It is a parallel system of evolution not a serial one.  I can see primitive intelligence but not a chimp.  Chimps are considered curious little critters, but they have the opposable thumb that humans have and so do some rodents too and they are overlooked.  I think chimps or monkeys are highly prized in Tibet, Marocco, or this strange country between India and Arabia that has snakes, monkeys, and all sorts of animals exposed in the public.

Chimp cutes. 
Just, just they mean best friends.
'Who pays cool? A monkey.'
Chuh.
Knock knock, never seen monkey but at
Zoo.
Eeh

.

We developed from the monkey race but I still think leaving a certain amount of the wildness of the ape in us.

I wonder eventually if the 'monkey' characteristics will fade away,leaving just completely a civilised man. No more wars for instance!

Actually, Joan, the latest research shows that we did NOT descend from apes, but just the opposite.

I can't bring your link up,1antique.....can you gave me the bare facts?

Now I'm interested in this and what the outcome would be if there was no spirit world!

Try this.......

Read it,and that is interesting.   So what exactly did we originate from?
Brings a memory back from years ago.   Reading in the paper that caves had been discovered with pictures painted on the walls.   From way back in cave man age.
Pictures of men wearing space helmets on their heads....
