>I have learned a lot about this in the zoo with my daughter. Adults become extremely uncomfortable when the children find the human-like behavior of apes funny. Adults just want to go away.

Can you provide an example? I don't disagree, I just don't know if you're talking about bullying or what.

I meant less about what they do, and more about how they do it. Dogs for example may bully, but it does not seem eerily human-like.

If you spend some time watching our closest ancestors, you start to see that they have lot of common gestures with humans. It is difficult to thoroughly explain this using just words.
