These apes were also suppose to be used for Alzheimer’s and other neurological disorders. Even though chimps and humans may develop brain amyloid plaques, the protein structures of those plaques are different. Studies have shown that cross-species genetic studies have documented that gene expression in the chimpanzee cerebral cortex has “no detectable similarity” with that detected in humans. Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases derives from longitudinal studies of patients and post-mortem brain studies. In the UK researchers stated “M]odelling human mental disorders in experimental animals is fraught with difficulties. Depression models generally lack both clinical and scientific credibility and have, thus far, failed to inform treatment strategies previously acquired through serendipity.” Meaning that just because humans and chimps have some similar characterizes there is millions of DNA sequence differences plus innumerable and variable differences in gene expression between our two…
Frankiln Scaffner’s Planet of the Apes (1968) is an epic science fiction film that stars the late Charlston Heston. The film begins as a group of Astronauts led by Taylor (Heston) in the would-be present crash land and end up on a seemingly alien planet a few thousand years into the future, via suspended animation. After trotting around and exploring the planet, they soon discover it governed by simian hominoids who hunt down and experiment on primitive humans who have lost the ability to speak. After the gang of three are slowly whittled away at by the talking ape overlords, we ended up with the sole surviving Taylor, who temporarily had lost his voice as well due to an injury received during a confrontation with the apes along side his female…
Caesar’s family background and Marian connections gave him a base to build his career as well as enhancing his reputation and status in society. His family, Gens Julia were of noble patrician roots, but at the time neither rich nor influential. However they were able to claim decent from Trojan prince Aeneas, supposed son of the goddess Venus. This claim to both royal and divine decent gave Caesar high social standing within roman society at the time. Caesar’s aunt Julia was married to Gaius Marius who during Caesar’s infancy was the most powerful man in Rome, holding an unprecedented seven consecutive consulships along with leading the faction known as the populares. These Marian connections were exploited by Caesar himself at every possible opportunity most notably the funerals of his aunt Julia and his wife Cornelia. While delivering their eulogies he flaunted his Marian heritage, Plutarch telling us that “As nephew of Julia the deceased wife…

Caesar was very helpful to the people when he took over. He created many solid reforms to give the people what they needed. He won people over by creating them. Some of the reforms he created were tax reforms in Asia and Sicily, allowing captured people to become citizens, and giving free food to the poor. The tax reforms in Asia and Sicily were made because “both had suffered from avaricious governors and tax-collectors.” (Seindal 2003) This put Caesar at an advantage because this reform got people in other places to like him better. Caesar allowed people that he captured while he was fighting to become citizens throughout his dictatorship. This helped the Roman Empire prosper because it had many different abilities and trades coming in with all the different people. Finally, Caesar gave food to the poor. He didn’t ration it. He just gave it out to them. This meant that people that couldn’t get their own food could have it very…

Julius Caesar was born into a very prominent family of administrators and conquerors (Sivers, 180). This would make perfect sense since he goes on to be a very powerful military and political leader. Julius Caesar became head of his household at the age of sixteen when his father passed away. After this, a bloody dispute comes about involving his uncle and their bitter rival Sulla. After a short stent as priest, Caesar joins the army and immediately begins to move up the ranks (Grant, 23-24). During his life he conducted very many military campaigns, at one point during his military career he was in charge of four legions (Grant, 31), which was a big army during that time. One of his most famous expeditions known as the Gallic Wars took place partially because he was in debt. For the most part this campaign was a failure because the original Triumvirate died and secondly, Caesar was pushed back most of the time. Finally he got the upper hand on Vercingetorix at the Battle of Alesia. This seemed like a for sure win for the Gauls, but with Caesar’s…
