The first group of primates I mainly observed were the Bonobos‚ also known as the pygmy chimps to many. On this occasion a youngster running around wildly on two legs and looking back as if something or another Bonobo was following him caught my immediate attention. I sat there observing him for about 5 minutes‚ he wasn’t paying attention at the observation windows as I was the only person

Now if Henry lived in Mallorca or any other of Spain’s Balearic Islands on the other hand the story would be much different.

Primate Classification LECTURE This lecture will address basic primate classification. Primates are classified based on their features- primates that share certain features are classified into the same group. There are lots of different ways of classifying animals- using an evolutionary taxonomy (like Linneaus’ family tree) or using cladistics. We are going to stick with the evolutionary taxonomy. There is a chart in your book- on Page 168-169 of your book- I would suggest that you have that open

relatives. Today‚ there are two species of chimpanzees: Common Chimpanzee (Pan Troglodytes) and bonobo (Pan Paniscus)‚ both are in the same category as humans‚ monkeys‚ and gorillas. Humans share with them 98% of the genetic code and according to experts “believe our common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Then two species broke off into separate lineages‚ one ultimately evolving into gorillas and chimps‚ the other evolving into early humans called hominids.”(Barss) and in order to obtain more

Movies and novels such as "Planet of the Apes" and 2001: A Space Odyssey are called Science Fiction because they portray situations that seem extremely unrealistic concurrent with contemporary philosophy. "Planet of the Apes" depicts a world where apes rule while humans are subjected to servitude and confinement. These apes speak intelligibly and are human-like in appearance and behavior. In 2001: A Space Odyssey‚ the highly advanced computer‚ HAL 9000‚ an acronym for "Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic
