O. K. you have probably seen this touching video of a chimpanzee leaving Dr. Jane Goodall and her co-workers on the occasion of re-entry into the wild but....

It made me think of so many human scenes in which a child leaves for the first day of school or college or for a job in a distant city or simply moving out.  And also about our many deeply shared behaviors between humans and chimpanzees (and other primates).

Here it is. I recommend you keep the sound off but this may be my bias. I didn't care for the music, finding it distracting.

You might want to have a tissue handy just in case.

Relationships between humans, chimpanzees and bonobos are shown here.
