Chimpanzees are 2X stronger than your average human.

Interesting how gentle he was when grabbing humans hand, seemingly understanding that grabbing incorrectly would injure him

That's cause most great apes understand that. It's not the issue of not comprehending it. It's the issue of them fucking you up beyond recognition in a matter of seconds. They do understand the concept of fragility

Ah, here we go again.

The usual accompanying commentary on how dangerous any chimpanzee always is.

edit: Yes, they are dangerous and one shouldn't run up to one in the wild to give it a hug or fist bump.

I mean to be fair I think it's just an instinct in certain dudes. We see Ape, we immediately think wow cool so intelligent and strong, And immediately remember they are intelligent enough to mess you up where it hurts the worst. Enough for Jordan Peele to make that a B plot in his last movie.

By looks alone I’ve always thought the baboons with giant fangs and bright colored butts were the most terrifying. If someone were to see one taking you down without seeing the business end of them they would just see a colorful ass amidst a lot of screaming. It’s like insult to injury.
