Oliver the "Humanzee"

Did anyone see this special on the Discovery Channel last night? This chimp found in South Africa in the 1970's that has (he is still alive) that has very human characteristics. He always walked on two legs, shook hands warmly (i.e. he would extend his hand to shake ours then put another hand on your elbow), and was more attracted to humans than chimps. The entire show was about this chimp, he is really cool looking. At the end of the show they did a DNA test on him and found out that he isn't a hybrid human-chimp, but ful chimp. However, they found out that he is from a sub-class of chimps that has never been seen before (well besides Oliver). Wiki article on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_the_chimp
