The monkey won praise online for giving the correct Heimlich manoeuvre.

When children encounter a problem, whether it is physical or mental, parents often come to their rescue. Instinctively, they come up with solutions.

While humans learn medical techniques to save lives, a monkey’s instinctual act to save its baby has won the appreciation of an Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer.

If this is real, it strongly corroborates the theory of evolution. We all (humans and other species) have a common ancestor. Monkeys and homo sapiens (and for that matter, all the extant species) evolved from a common ancestor over the same geological time period.
