Apes deliberately spin around in order to make themselves dizzy, researchers discover

Apes deliberately spin around to make themselves feel dizzy, according to new research.The study is based on the observations of online videos in which great apes – gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans – spin to deliberately make themselves dizzy.Academics suggest the findings could provide clues about humans evolving the desire to seek altered mental states and actively manipulate their mood and perception of reality.Credit: University of Warwick / Kusini Safaris
