Animal testing should no longer be practiced because it is unethical‚ the results can be misleading‚ and alternatives are available. It is widely known animal testing injures and kills many animals each year for the sake of the humans that may use the products. According to preventative medicine/public health specialist Aysha Akhtar‚ worldwide over 15 million animals are used in experimentation and often suffer‚ even though alternatives to animal testing exist. According to ProCon.org‚ “animals

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 walk on all fours using their knuckles for support with their hands clenched‚ a form of locomotion called knuckle-walking. Chimpanzee feet are better suited for walking than are those of the orangutan because the chimp’s soles are broader and the toes shorter. Both the common chimpanzee and bonobo can walk upright on two legs when carrying objects

could get worse within 24 hours. [1] The yellow fever virus is a dormant‚ single strand of RNA‚ packaged in a lipoprotein envelope. The transmissions occur through bites of infected aedes aegypti or haemagogus mosquitoes. Human and nonhuman primates are the main reservoirs of the virus. Traveling through a lytic life cycle‚ the virus first enters the host and is phagocytosed by a macrophage. The virus then sheds its envelope to keep from being further digested. The macrophage continues with

according to Huntingdon Life Sciences these stats show that animal testing is definitely not perfect. The animals that are generally used in research are mice‚ rats‚ rabbits‚ guinea pigs‚ primates‚ dogs‚ cats‚ cows‚ fish‚ and birds. They are bred either in the laboratory or in special companies. Others‚ like the primates‚ are captured. There is even a market for lab animals licensed dealers sell animals to research companies. “These animals can come from miserable places such as puppy mills.

New viruses are being constructed in the world almost every second; they are present in the body at any given moment. The rate at which these viruses are being transmitted from individual to individual is increasing and it is becoming more harmful to every organism. The benefits that occur from host transfers are that viruses that infect organisms cause one infection; there is a less likely chance of an epidemic within the host cell. This article talks about how viruses are transmitted from host

the evolution of birds are based on theories but during the last 30 years‚ the evolutionary relationship between birds and dinosaurs have become more firmly established. Some important evolutions of birds were the evolution of feathers‚ and avian locomotion (Bird evolution‚ 1996). The modern bird has been modified significantly. The body evolved in such a way for it to be fit to fly. For example‚ the front limbs became wings‚ and their breastbone was enlarged in order to support flight muscles

the only living representative of the family Hominidae. The Hominidae‚ or hominids are a group of upright walking primates with relatively large brains. So all humans are hominids‚ but not all hominids could be called human. Next all humans are primates. The mammalian order of primates include about 180 species of prosimians (lemur like animals)‚ monkeys‚ apes‚ and ourselves. Primates are unusual mammals for they have evolved such distinctive traits as highly developed binocular vision‚ mobile fingers

Cultural Anthropology is the study of human cultures‚ their beliefs‚ practices‚ values‚ ideas‚ technologies‚ economies and other domains of social and cognitive organization. This field is based primarily on cultural understanding gained through first hand experience‚ or participant observation within living populations of humans.
