Although they act very similar, Chimps and humans do not always have analogous behavior. Smiling in primates is usually a sign of nervousness or anxiety. For example, a Chimp faced with a hostile alpha male will often smile in their presence until they are reassured that no harm will come to them. This anxiety can be alleviated by the alpha simply putting their arm around them.
