continued years later. Two cultural behavior chimps and humans share is the aggressive behavior. Aggressive behavior was shown in ways such as the mother protecting for her young. Both the humans and chimps and every other animals are very defensive about their new born. It is a natural sense of pride that that they must protect their child at all times no matter what. It is also natural that anyone who comes nears

Course ________________________________________________ Teacher ________________________________ Year/Cycle _______________ Part 1: Background One of the ongoing discussions in behavioral research is about whether the non-human great apes (chimps‚ bonobos‚ orangutans‚ and gorillas) are as intelligent as human beings. Intelligence refers to the ability to learn‚ reason‚ plan‚ think abstractly‚ comprehend ideas‚ and solve problems. It involves the ability to understand and profit from experience

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)

Dawn breaks over the horizon in the remote wilderness of the equatorial forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo‚ and a large community of bonobos splits up for the day. Stomach gurgling‚ a bonobo wanders off with his group in search of food. Moving as swiftly and majestically as a gymnast‚ the bonobo swings from tree to tree‚ its kind brown eyes scanning the trees of the Salonga National forest in search of fruits and insects for ingestion. The ape and his group travel together and go about

Homo Neanderthalensis Were Neanderthals a distinct species of the Homo Genus‚ or were they a sub-species of the Homo Sapien? Are modern day humans a product of selective breeding or are they distinctive in DNA to just Homo Sapiens or Neanderthals? To figure this out we will go back to an approximate timeline of over 200‚000 years ago in the Pleistocene Epoch‚ where this fossil‚ and possibly kin‚ resided and thrived. As we know and have all come to understand through media interpretation and display

some animals can even speak using our language such as bonobos? Animals are starting to learn our language. Such as a bonobo since in source 1 Speaking Bonobos paragraph 2 it says”...kept adding symbols to Kanzi’s keyboard …”Then in paragraph 3 it says”Kanzi learned to combine in regular ways…” In other words what this means is that the chimp would have symbols that they would press with other ones to make words or phrases. Also not only chimps would be the only ones to learn our language such as

1. Since humans and other primates share a variety of characteristics‚ other primates provide important observations about early humans. Homologies between hominids and other primates enhance to behavior because the physiological and cognitive formations that manage to control human demeanor are likely related to those of other primates than to members of other taxonomic groups. The reality of this broad collection of homologous traits‚ the commodity of the average evolutionary history of the primates

The male common chimp is up to 1.7 metres (5.6 ft) high when standing‚ and weighs as much as 70 kilograms (150 lb); the female is somewhat smaller. The common chimp’s long arms‚ when extended‚ have a span one and a half times as long as the body’s height and a chimpanzee’s arms are longer than its legs.[7] The bonobo is a little shorter and thinner than the common chimpanzee but has longer limbs. Both species use their long‚ powerful arms for climbing in trees. On the ground‚ chimpanzees usually

Humans share 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees and bonobos. Chimps are more violent while bonobos don’t fight as much as they enjoy other activities like sex. It makes one wonder whether or not humans are chimpanzees or bonobos. “...it’s easy to see the similarities between an organized chimp ambush and our own guerilla warfare practices‚” (Grant 3). While that is true‚ one has to also look at other aspects of human history

between chimpanzees and bonbons may seem petite‚ but they are not as similar as people may think. The differences like their diet‚ socialization within each species‚ and population really divides their species. Other things like the chimpanzees and bonobos facial and body features also give a viewer an understanding of their differences. When it comes to the bonobo’s diet‚ they do not eat meat. Chimpanzees‚ however‚ do. The two monkey’s diets are relatively close‚ but there are significant differences
