Looks like that African evolution graphic was pretty accurate.

    There's a reason you don't give guns to monkeys.

    If it's real = very sad. And they deserve the evolution figure remark.

    I strongly hope this is a vid made by an african film student or whatnot. I also love Coleman's idea.

    I think it has to be fiction (as opposed to fake, which I don't know), since unfamiliar loud noises would frighten an untrained chimp...

    Maybe he's not just an ordinary chimp. Maybe he's not a chimp at all, but a gerilla instead:

    Just came across this.

    Pretty much unrelated, but goes to show how large the continent of Africa is. (and among that continent there is tremendous diversity, including stable, democratic nations)

    hory shit

    i didnt realize how big africa really is.
    its a shame its turned into an exploited haven for minerals and trade, the govs are corrupt, wars and rape violence, its really a hell on earth.. the only semi peaceful location is south africa (where majority are white), and western shores.

    The poverty: It has nothing to do with skin color. It's about resources namely: food and water.

    True.

    Not true. For example, Botswana:

    I'm really looking forward to my travels taking me to the continent, I'm sure I could spend years there.
