    She wanted to know more about evolution of humans through chimpanzees. It took a couple months before Goodall could gain trust of one single male that she ended up naming David Greybeard. Jane used a process called “banana club” to gain trust and to understand thoroughly of chimpanzees daily behavior. After two years, she became close with over half of the reserved 100 or more chimps. Goodall would imitate the behaviors to blend in. She learned that chimps have complex social network, a primitive “language” of twenty different sounds, and complete with ritualized behaviors. Jane took the first record of observing chimpanzees of eating meat and using and making tools; an act of characteristics of human beings. Later, Goodall added developing long-term familial bonds, embracing to comfort one another, and using stones as weapons to traits that humans also do. Male chimps don’t take roles in families, but they are on top of the group's social pyramid. The chimpanzees lower on the ranking follow under the top caste to avoid harm. The way you indicate on what male if on top is by the entrance at feedings and…

The Great Ape Project was established in 1993 and requests a basic set of moral and legal rights for great apes.

    Melvin Udall

    Melvin Udall, played by Jack Nicholson, is the leading male character in one of my favorite movies, the 1997 dramatic, romantic comedy As Good As It Gets. He's a reclusive, successful romance author diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), who manifests symptoms ranging from severe at the beginning of the movie to milder (almost remissive) towards the end. Some of his compulsions include avoiding stepping on cracks in the sidewalks and streets, avoiding touch, and checking. The distress caused by his behaviors increases throughout the movie (a marked distress is a qualifier for the disorder in the DSM-V). The remedy for his OCD in the movie, it seems, is love (it's Hollywood). Helen Hunt plays Carol Connelly, the leading lady and…

    Many years ago I watched a documentary entitled “Animal Odd Couples” which introduced me to the world of Anthrozoology. “Animal Odd Couples” was a “Nature” episode which outlined the lives of various animals who had formed interesting, cross-species relationships; Relationships that one wouldn't normally expect to find, because the idea of animals experiencing complex emotions, and forming genuine friendships could be – and for a long time was – considered taboo. In the past whenever animal welfare science had hinted at the fact that animals do experience these types of emotions, and do in fact form complex relationships that mirror our own it was considered anthropomorphism. As a student of anthropology who has a deeply seeded passion for…

    Herbie Archie weller

    Colour Symbol Image 'Herbie' by Archie Weller Colour, Symbol, Image By Samuel Beech The colour black is very symbolic in the story “Herbie” by Archie Weller, the colour black is associated with dark, sinister and contentious acts as is apparent is this morally challenging piece of text. The text challenges our values as a young boy is bullied until he falls to his death out of a tree he is forced to climb. The fact that an indigenous writer has written this text from the point of view of a racist young white boy, suggests that he is trying to get young white boys to see the damage they can cause . Black in some cultures is seen as the work of the devil and in some as the colour of mourning and a representation of grief. The darkness of the colour black helps bring forward one of the key ideas of racial superiority. “Herbie was the only boong to go to our school. Perhaps this is why we taunted and teased him,” this quote backs the key idea of racial superiority. The ‘whitefellas’ in the town regard Herbie and his family as outcast and they see themselves as racially superior. This comes about because of naturalised assumptions developed since 1788 when the European sailors saw the aboriginals still running around in there loin cloths and with no apparent form of Literature. Since then the naturalised assumption has been strengthened by many different things, the white Australian Policy being one of them. When the Australian government stopped non-whites immigrating. The colour black is symbolic of the white suppression of the indigenous in Australia. The colour could also be symbolic of a cultural genocide against Herbies family and his…

    In 1978, Professor Lyn Miles at the University of Tennessee wanted to contribute to science by teaching an orangutan how to communicate through sign language. A biomedical and behavioral research institute, Yerkes Regional Primate Centre, agreed to loan Professor Miles a 9 month old orangutan, Chantek. Miles took Chantek to a trailer where he would be raised and where she could carefully replicate the behavior of Chantek’s mother. She went out of her way to make Chantek feel comfortable around her and his surroundings. Miles and Chantek had established a mutualistic understanding of each other which made teaching him easier for Miles. Though he was a wild animal, Miles treated him with the amount of respect she would if he were a human. Once they had understood each other, the amount of words in sign language he knew had majorly increased and he was walking around on campus and sitting in on some of the classes at the college. Later on when Chantek was a little older, he had frightened a girl passing by and the college had to get rid of him and hand him to the Atlantic Zoo.…

    Primate Behavior

    Mainly, this documentary uses the primate’s behavior as a comparison to our own. The purpose of this is to better understand not only the evolution of the human body, but also the evolution of human behavior. The film explains that our behavior was affected by the environmental pressures of our past. Because primates share a common ancestor with us, observing them in the wild can help us better understand why and how we evolved certain traits. The film stresses how important it is that we must observe apes in a natural setting. The narrator explains, “If we are interested in evolution of human behavior, and in the evolution of behavior in general, you really need to see that in a natural setting where evolution pressures are at work today and where you might be able to imagine the kind of evolutionary pressure that would’ve worked in the past.” The intention of this film is to instruct the viewer on the evolutionary connection between the ape and us. Understand primate behavior can lead to clues of our own evolutionary descent.…

    Baboons and chimpanzees, who are famous for being closely related to humans, embody the symptoms of kindness among their peers. Within "The Selfless Gene", written by Olivia Judson involves the discussion and break down of the relationship between kindness and survival, as seen in humanly related species. The author states, “At the least, the evolution of social living requires limiting aggression so that neighbours can tolerate one another. And often, the evolution of larger social groupings is accompanied by an increase in these subtly and complexity of the ways animals get along together.”…”Consider baboons…baboons have evolved complex social lives.” (287) Judson goes into depth, explaining the many social skills that baboons are equipped with. One of these qualities is a pack mentality, which allows animals, such as the baboon, to perform best in designated groups for better chances of survival. Kindness is a byproduct of this sectional living. This behaviour can be compared to human activity in means of stating in a certain group or "herd". Judson discusses the importance of helping one another by stating later on in her passage, “Bowles shows that groups of supercooperative, altruistic humans could indeed have wiped out groups of less-united folk.” (289) Living in these groups can help lead others become kinder to one another, since they are with familiar people, in familiar…

    One of the main reasons why we are so interested in the other primates is that by looking at them we can obtain some ideas of what our ancestor must have been like a few millions years ago. Even though, we are not descended from any modern-type monkey or ape, our lineage does appear to have gone through stages in which we were a medium-sized, reasonably intelligent creature with good binocular vision, hands that were good at manipulation and the ability to climb trees. An evolutionary trend in primates involves the development of offspring both before and after birth and their integration into complex social systems. Another trend in primate evolution has been toward a more elaborate brain. In addition to brain size and gestation periods, social organization also demonstrates and plays an important role in primate evolution due to its complexity and hierarchy.…

    Then he shares with us the merits of the “traveling mindset” which allowed him to be more progressive and open minded. The essay “In the forest of Gombe” was written by Jane Goodall. In her essay she shares with us her own experiences and how different people have different perceptions of the world and how it influences them. She also takes us on an exploration which later resulted in her awakening and alleviation of the pain of her sorrows. All three of the authors are talking about their perspectives, experiences and opinions, and how these three factors have influenced their way of looking at the world. The experience of others is not more powerful in shaping our views than our own. Although the experience of others is one of the factors that could influence us, but it is not more powerful. We must experience life by ourselves to truly understand how the world works and that is the only way that we can shape our views. In other words if we don’t experience the world by ourselves, the experience won’t leave an everlasting impression on us, thus failing to shape our…

    A scientist named Harry Harlow wanted to save money for his research by just breeding the monkeys he had instead of buying new ones. When the baby monkeys were born, Harlow thought it would be best if he followed what the hospitals were doing with their infants in that time of the mid fifties which was to give the monkeys food, a warm blanket, toys, and to keep them away from the other monkeys in their own isolated room to prevent the spread of disease. As the monkeys were growing up, Harlow and his team found that something was not right with the monkeys. Although they were physically strong and free of diseases, the monkeys seemed disturbed. They would “[stare] blankly and [rock] in place for long periods, [circle] their cages repetitively, and [mutilate]…
