Chimpanzees are classified under two species that completely two different separate species. The first one would be pan troglodytes‚ which is the common chimpanzee. The second one would be the pan paniscus‚ which also leads to the gracile chimpanzee or the bonobo. DNA Human beings and chimpanzees share and a estimate from eighty-five to ninety-five percent of the same DNA. Since DNA contains genetic code‚ it is studied and analyzed for a variety of reasons. For example‚ DNA testing may be used to identify

Pan troglodytes‚ Pan Paniscus‚ and Homo sapiens or more commonly referred to as Chimpanzees‚ Bonobos‚ and Humans have unbelievably similar biological traits that one could invoke philosophical reflection of our origin and evolution. Highly intelligent‚ social‚ vocalized‚ animals that share a taxonomic group with Homo sapiens: a tribe. But where do we draw the line? How do we define these primates as different species even at a 98% gene proportion? Are these creatures analogous to each other to the
Premium Human Bonobo Chimpanzee
Bonobos: The bonobo is an in interesting species because it shares more than 98 percent of our genetic profile‚ which makes it very close to a human. It is believed that the human line of ancestry‚ along with the line of bonobo and chimpanzee‚ split about eight million years ago (http://songweaver.com). The bonobo is closely related to the chimpanzee but it is considered to be a different species (pygmy chimpanzee). When one looks at a bonobo‚ they may think that it looks a lot like a chimpanzee;

For this response paper‚ I chose to write about the chimp attacks that occurred to the intern by the name of Kristen M. Howard and a women from Connecticut‚ Charla Nash. Howard was an intern at Chimps Inc. in Oregon when she got attack by a chimp named Kimie. Howard was cleaning an empty cage when Kimie managed to get through the doors of the tunnels that lead to the cage she was cleaning. The doors to the tunnel leading to the cage were supposed to be locked but on the day of the attack‚ the doors

Pan Paniscus vs. Gorilla Beringei Bonobos‚ sometimes called pygmy chimpanzees‚ survive and endure in fission-fusion social groups where a behomitic amount of individuals apportion into smaller groups of size and composition. They are classified as those involved in patrilineal groups. Bonobos are in Central Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo. There are an estimated number of thirty thousand bonobos in existence. Bonobos abide in the swampy rainforests of the southern region

Chimpanzees and bonobos are our closest living relative‚ sharing 98.8% DNA as well as anatomical and behavioural similarities‚ however we did not evolve from them or any other living primate‚ rather‚ we share a common ancestor from approximately 8 – 6 million years ago. (Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History‚ ND) Differences anatomically between chimpanzees and hominins can be identified through comparing their skulls. A broad overview of the differences in skulls between hominids and

SHOULD ENDANGERED SPECIES CHIMPS USED FOR RESEARCH PURPOSE? Along the years‚ chimps are the most used animal in world of science apart from other animals such as rabbits‚ mice and guinea pig for research purpose. In recent years‚ the general public‚ lawmakers and scientists have expressed increasing discomfort over the use of chimpanzees in biomedical research. Today it would be considered morally unacceptable to carry out many of the experiments that were done on them in the recent past. Some

The article entitled "Dim Forest‚ Bright Chimps" by Christophe Boesch and Hedwige Boesch-Anchermann (1991:72-75) shows that the use of crude tools and hunting strategies might have been the same between chimpanzees and our early ancestors. In 1979‚ a field team began a long-term study of the chimpanzees in the Tai National Park. The goal of studying these chimps was to help "shed new light on prevailing theories of human evolution" (72). Anthropologists believe that some 1.8 million years ago‚ hunting
