They’re not monkeys, they’re chimps, or at least apes, if they are too abstract to be chimps in particular. Phylogenetically, you know, we are much closer to chimps than chimps, or humans, are to monkeys. In fact the whole drift in the academic community in charge of this kind of thing, whoever they are, is to place chimps and gorillas closer and closer to humans, with constant shifts in the taxonomic nomenclature. Meanwhile, the vulgar masses persist in their medieval prejudices. It is to laugh.

... and btw, the video is explicitly racist, or pretending to be, near the end, with the visual equation of black men with the chimps, and the execution of traditionally black drumming techniques by the chimp brigade.

They're just dishonest animals being far too complicated.

On the other hand, horses are good, decent, honest and unpretentious animals.

A horse is a horse.
