    Humans vs. Other Primates

    Even though humans could be the leaders of the world wielding the most power, are we that much different from other primates? No, we are not. Of course humans are different, but definitely not unique. We share too many characteristics to other primates like the chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas. Characteristics like culture, speech, communication, having social classes would which may have been thought to unique to humans have also seen done by other primates. Humans may have been considered unique once upon a time, but now were closer to our primate relatives than ever. Culture was once considered unique to humans, but it has been discovered that chimpanzees, orangutans, and bonobos also have culture. In Jane Goodall’s study of chimps (Goodall, 2002). A baby chimpanzee was observed watching his mother, as she groomed the alpha male. It had been noted that a baby chimpanzee learns by watching his mother. His mother may have learned this by watching her mother. The child also observes all the others grooming, and by watching that the others are doing he will also grow up to do so. In the article “Another Cultured Age, this Time with Red hair” Carol K. Yoon explains that oragutans in different groups in different areas each have different rituals they perform. The nightly howl for one differs from another, so does sexual behaviour, and tool use. The bonobo studied by Sue Savage-Rumbaugh shows the baby bono Teco growing up with two cultures (Savage-Rambaugh, 2010). Teco the baby, is growing up in a human culture, but will also adapt some bonobo culture from his father. Adapting to the culture in your surroundings was thought to only be done by humans, but now chimps, orangutans, and bonobos also show culture. In the chimp community, a baby chimp will grow up to do the same practices as he is shown by his mother and the others in his…

Educating yourself on the wide variety of problems smoking may cause is an effective reminder to not start smoking --if you don't smoke already--and a strong source of motivation to quit, if you do.…

    In my latest interview I am following up the journey and life of a red blood cell. A red blood cell is a round red cell which can only be seen microscopically, it delivers the body vital nutrients such as oxygen. Oxygen is important to the body because if areas say in the heart or the brain doesn’t receive oxygen, that part of it will die and you may suffer a heart attack or even die. The journey of a red blood cell starts in the left ventricle and is then pumped through the left atrium and then through the aorta, the bodies’ largest artery. The red blood cell then moves through a lot of increasingly small arteries until it comes to the capillaries. It then passes through the capillary wall (one cell thick) and into the body tissue. Now that the blood is de-oxygenated, it starts its journey back through the capillaries and to the larger veins and then finally reaches the right atrium. The red blood cell then enters the right ventricle and through the pulmonary arteries which lead to into the lungs. If the blood cell didn’t go through the lungs and pick up oxygen and take it round the body, your organs would run out of oxygen and would then shut down and you would soon after die. Once the blood cell has picked up more oxygen from the lungs, it re-enters back into the left ventricle with oxygenated blood which then the whole circulation starts again. A red blood cell will do this for about 100-120 days in the body before its components are recycled. Each circulation around the body lasts for about 20 seconds. And that is my latest interview, on the journey and life of a red blood cell.…
