But you're kind of right.

They are like big cows in a way, right?

Like they eat, they sleep.

So they show up to film and literally within like two days of filming, this dominant shift starts to happen.

That's a good question.

But they say this vision that's happening, I was just reading about it this morning, this vision that's happening in the chimps, when a community fully splits, they think it's about a one-in-every-500-year event, I guess, when they look at the genetics.

What?

It's crazy.

Yes.

I think they kind of came in sort of in the middle of it.

I don't know when they filmed Chimp Empire exactly, but it was already going on when they started filming.

What's crazy to me about that is that the way that chimps live, they have what they call a community.

And the whole community is sort of never together.

So they all associate in this community.

But today I'm hanging out with you.

Tomorrow you're with Kristen and I'm with Dax.

And then the next day, all four of us are hanging out.

And then eventually this community split.

And now the Western side is coming back to kill their former community members.

And this had only been documented once before with Jane Goodall.
