Planet of the Apes

After reading Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? I'm convinced that we are living on the planet of the apes. Despite our culture and technology, our basic ape behavior isn't far below the surface in politics, and social and family life. 

Consider this scene from The Square  where a performance "artist" acts like a gorilla. Initially, human culture restrains a group of sophisticated party goer while the artist intimidates them by mimicking stereotypical gorilla behavior. The party goers are restrained by cultural expectations until the artist/gorilla mimic grabs a woman and appears to attempt to rape her. At that point an alpha male human pulls the artist off of her and begins to beat the artist. He is joined by other males and the scene ends. If the point was to illustrate human ape-like behavior, it works.
