After analyzing over 40 online videos, the researchers found that, on average, the primates revolved 5.5 times per spinning episode, with an average speed of 1.5 circles per second.The researchers set out to see whether spinning may be analyzed as ahabit our ancestors could have engaged in too. Perhaps as a means to access different mental states.
They compared the videos to purposeful human twirls, such as ballet dancing, traditional Hopak dancing, whirling dervishesWhile self-experimented with spinning at these speeds and times, the team found achieving the third bout of spins challenging. At this point, the apes in the videos were visibly disoriented and were likely to lose their balance and fall.
