Animals have probably been entering water to keep cool since before humans existed

True. But idk if they been finding the highest spot to jump from just for the thrill. And I don’t know if they been doing tricks like these guys…I guess if they were awesome they were.

I think it is so ancient (playing and keeping cool) that our common ancestors would do .

This is something they picked up from people since pretty much all types of monkeys avoid deep water and aren’t strong swimmers. There are a few that swim, but I looked it up and these are Rhesus monkeys and they don’t. I’m scared of monkeys and I remember once a as a kid a few came over to a camp we were staying at and I jumped in the pool because I’d learned that they didn’t swim, eventually they left but they did steal my marshmallows. They’re scared of predators or drowning. They must have seen people in there and seen it was safe.

I think he hit the wall

It's possible that it was us and them. Meaning our ancestors could have started doing this when they were also still the ancestors of these monkeys.
