Hmm although it is true humans have major differences between eachother we are pretty good about helping eachother when it means something. Could this be the reason we are so "successful" as a species?

And this has never been noticed by researchers before? They have not been paying attention.

#3 well there is no easy way to say this.
in terms of research, researchers has just the opposite impulse, beeing a dead weight or even harm.
this kind of oposite things makes impossible to achive emphaty.
this researcher must be a genius to see that.

The chimps at these research must think we human's are either lazy or clumsy.

Looks to me like the help from the chimps is not spontaneous. They are being "asked" for help.

#3 studies like this are done for several years now. so this is nothing really new in the field of evolutionary anthropology...

Very interesting, I lost the ability wanting to help people like that as I grew older. Just like with a lot of things that I used to do like a kid that I no longer do because that's the way our modern society works. Keep to yourself, less socializing, count your money, buy bling and die. To be honest I envy people living out in the bush. Reminds me of that video I saw a few days ago on snotr about people from Sudan. Watched something similar on TV a few years back about people from Africa who were "integrated" into our society. They lost everything that made them human and turned them into creatures like the rest of us. It's such a sad story really.

The sad part nowadays is that in case somebody needs a help (let's say to an accident), they will not reach their hand but instead will reach on their smart phone and start filming. I've seen so many instances like this and it's so frustrating..
