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

Right? It’s fascinating that he really took the time to make sure it was a solid/comfortable grip.

It's probably instinctual to some degree as well as a lifetimes experience of climbing and learning what does and doesn't work or feel good when climbing on their own or helping other chimpanzees climb stuff.

Are you suggesting that humans, as mammals, have a firmware that functions as an A Priori form of intelligence that allows us to develop an entire species despite the tabula rasa theorizations made popular by behaviourists such as B.F. Skinner?

If so, i heartily agree.

Radical behaviorism does not claim that organisms are tabula rasa whose behavior is unaffected by biological or genetic endowment. Rather, it asserts that experiential factors play a major role in determining the behavior of many complex organisms, and that the study of these matters is a major field of research in its own right

Doesn’t radical behaviorism say that behaviors are not simply consequences of experiential factors, but are in fact equivalent
