We all know that we are closely connected to apes. However we are not usually aware of how strong the connection is. You will watch a simple experiment that tests if humans are hard-wired to do something irrational just to fit in. This is called Norm Conform and I took it from the National Geographic Channel.
Did you watch it? If so, you are ready to post a comment in the blog. Your texts must answer these questions:
Were you surprised when you watched the video? Why?
Do you remember any experience of yours in which you said hm, we're just like monkeys?

Really amazing how much primitives can be the humans! I remember when one of my little brothers took something, and the other one, wanted that thing just because his brother had it.

I was surprised when I watched the video because they compare the gorilla's society with the human's society, these are very similar. It's so funny.

I was surprised by the similarity we have with chimpanzes. We are not so advanced than we thought. and I do not and have not had any situation like that.
ReplyDeleteDavid Cano, 4t that C
When I watch the video I don't surprise because in my opinion the humans are repetition monkeys. Men and women do the same things that we do. For example, the young people wear the same clothes. Maybe we're afraid to be different.
ReplyDeleteMarta Cruces, 4ºB
It's surprising how the humans and monkeys are similar. I remember one day when my cousin was little, he tried to open a box hitting it like a monkey and my aunt tried to help him, but he didn't want help.
ReplyDeleteJoel Dorado Blanco 4t C
I'm not surprised with this video because I think that we are like monkeys, we go in the same way as everyone, because we don't want to be excluded. I remember many experiences with my sister, but most of them were when she was doing something and I would imitate it, and I'm still doing it.
ReplyDeletePatricia González, 4t C
It's incredible the likeness between the humans and this kind of monkeys. It's very interesting study the human's behaviour. This video remembers to me when my little sister was young and she wanted everything that I had. It's one of many things that we have in common with the simians.

I'ts surprising that people and monkeys are alike in many ways in physical features and mentally . I have not had a moment like that.
ReplyDeleteDora Maria Hurtado Diaz 4t A
I was surprised when I see that there's no a lot of difference between the humans and the monkeys. It has made me remember when I was a kid I did the same, when someone did something I wanted to do the same.
ReplyDeleteMiguel Rodríguez 4t A
I was surprised when I watched the video because the presenter compares the way who make the things the primates with the conduct of the humans. He compares the way the primates to please the group doing the same that them and their way of surviving conduct.

The results for this experiment demostrate once more that humans are very similar to chimps and a primates in general. I was very surprised when I view this video because I no expect to nothing this reaction in all the humans that enter in elevator. Very cool and curious!

Yes I was surprised when I saw that because these students have demostred we seem a the monkeys. And the humans have do te same because if you are in the traffic lights whitouth loking and one person pass you pass also.
ReplyDeleteOscar Sánchez 4t C
When I watch the video I was surprised, because is very similar the monkey's life and the human's life. It's an amazing video, and in my opinion is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteSara Ferrer González, 4t A
I'm surprised how people are guided by the group like animals. The people that were being watched, didn't think? We are very similar to monkeys, but only when we are in group, but it happens because we afraid to be different and that the other people laugh.
ReplyDeletePatricia Alvarez Hens 4tA
As much as we like to deny it, the truth is that the humans are very similar to animals. Is very funny how the people (clearly confused) turn around like others. Also, we can see how the people have fear of be different of others.
ReplyDeleteI think that our animal instincts will last forever.
Alma del Campo 4t A
That’s incredible how we compare with other animals like the monkeys. The behaviors of the monkeys are more similar than the conduct of the humans, because when monkeys do something. The rest of the groups do the same.
ReplyDeleteIn this way we can appreciate that the humans' conduct is exactly equal, because we act with the same form.
Natalia Montilla Gambero, 4t C.
I was surprised with the similarity than we have with the apes. We aren't so intelligent as we think. This video is very interesting, is so funny! Max Pérez Segués 4tA
ReplyDeleteWell more than intelligence, it is rather a matter of instinct.
DeleteI was surprised because we are so similar with the monkeys, when we are in groups we do the same when the first stop all the group stop.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the video so much, it's very interesting!
Marc Ceprian, 4tC
I'm surprised when i watched the video because is curious how the people as the animals do the same of the group although it don't be normal.
ReplyDeleteI can remember any experience like monkeys when i was kid, with my sister or my cousin.
Xavi Cantos Priego 4tA
Ok, then, tell us that experience with your sister or your cousin.
DeleteWhen I watch the video I surprised because it's amazing, we are very similars. The humans come from monkeys. I remeber my sister always did the same thing that me when I was small.
ReplyDeleteAlicia Callejo Rodríguez, 4t C.
Beautiful video, but it's very usual. I admit thats thats it's very funny coincidence among humans and monkeys.
ReplyDeleteI think humans and monkeys act is very similar , because they share almost identical DNA specially with the champanzes.
For exemple when I'm speaking or doing something my little brother tries to do similar thing. He always begs me papers and coloures pencils when'm drawing some draught of visual and plastic education.
These operations are just fatuousness that we makes us resemblance them.

Yes, I was surprised. Because you can see perfectly that humans derived from monkeys. I do not remember any experience.
ReplyDeleteLaila Medina 4tA
Well, make an effort and try. Your comment would be better if you followed the instructions well.
DeleteI was surprised when I watched this video, because the people does the same accions that others. It reminds me this situation when I observe the people and many people are wearing the same clothes.
ReplyDeleteAlbert Artís Caparrós 4th A
Well, I wasn't surprised about the video, because I think that it's pretty clear that there isn't something between monkeys and humans... Just some hair separates us. We are equal, in matter of brain, and that is simply, terrifying.
ReplyDeleteSomething that always remember me how similar humans and monkeys are, it's the groups in our high school, for example. Just look in the class and you can identify without troubles one or two group of monkeys. Like a packs. If one say something, the other will repeat it. If one walk, the other will follow. And that is the great intelligence that we, the teenagers, have.

I was surprised when I watched the video because humans and monkeys are similars and do the same, I remember when I was more young, my little sister wants to do all time the same than me.
ReplyDeleteQuim Iniesta 4th A
It is so amazing, they had always said there was a coincidence between apes and humans, they referred to the psychological.
ReplyDeleteCarlos Hugo Balcazar 4th B
When I watch the video i'm surprised because all the people do the same things. Monkeys and humans are very similar. I like a lot this video because I never imagined that people did this.
ReplyDeleteTania Soto Gonzaléz, 4B.
The video I found very interesting because it shows that humans act like animals, when you do something that everyone is compelled to do so. Today this cast can be applied to almost all aspects of life such fashion: if a group of people start to dress in a way most do the same.
ReplyDeleteJoel Perpinyà fernandez de castro 4thC
Yes, I was surprised. really we appears to monkey . I do not remember any experience.
ReplyDeleteAbdeladim Sefiani 4th B
The video I found very interesting because humans act like animals when it is something that everyone is forced to do the same. And this great video,expressed very well. We see very clearly how we humans.
