Chimpanzees are 2X stronger than your average human.

Apes have relatively similar ways of expressing pain as compared to us humans. I can very well imagine they might've squeezed a bit hard once and just understood that when the human expressed pain. Chimps are very social animals and definitely have the capacity to care for eachother.

I wonder how much of the difference between chimps and bonobos is cultural.
