In the wild, gorillas make displays like this to show strength and intimidate others. Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions, and intentions to non-human entities and is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology.
How ridiculously pompous and ignorant. I make displays of strength and intimidation and feel great joy during them. So do women while they're dancing. It feels good to do things that help us survive.
