  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

Scientist Speaks Chimp

So if the chimp has spent every day with humans since being a baby, when did it learn to speak chimp? I mean - Humans have different languages, we learn the language we're subjected to. If this chimp has only been exposed to Humans - where does it's language come from? For that matter, is it speaking the same language of other chimps? Will they understand it?

jokingly says...

Gods, it's Douglas Adams all over again!

Once she starts feeding him a reward for greeting her in chimp-language, we'll really see who is training who here.

Moving this video to PlayhousePals's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
