Im 99% sure that early on, the apes that could go completely berserk, fighting tooth and nail tosurvive, would be what eventually propelled apes down the evolutionary path to where we are now.
Chimping out is why its important to be cautious around modern apes and its a very powerful trait when used at the right moment.
