It kinda blew my mind that dogs are more empathetic than chimps. Maybe they used autistic chimps in the thing I watched, still seems unbelievable.

i mean chimps just kinda generally suck, i'd wager if you look at bonobos instead they'll beat the dog in empathy.

It's like chimps and bonobos are prototype humans, chimps are too violent and bonobos are too busy fucking each other at all times, and god finally got something more balanced when nudging humans into existence
