Primate Evolution
The human being consists of two aspects - of an immortal spirit and of a mortal body. The flesh comes like a gift of the mother Earth and the spirit of the father God. We dedicate excessively big attention to the first one, but nearly nothing to the latter one; and sometimes we even forget that it exists. However, there is a saying that a shirt is always closer to the body than a coat.
Our planet was developed within the process of evolution - step by step. Millions of suns originate in the nebula and disperse into the space. When we see them on the night sky, we call them the stars. On their long way across the space planets were created from the stardust around them, like around our Sun. Millions of years passed until life could be developed

Within many thousands of years, miscellaneous genera of animals were developed as well as several hundred thousands sorts of plants. By adaptation in various climatic conditions every area got its individual, non-repetitive look. This did not happen by itself - but everything, even the smallest flower, was created... by someone... And this work had lasted for ages.
When the perfect one among the animals - the Primate came to life during the "evolution" with a sufficiently perfect body, then it was time to furnish this body with a spirit - a human spirit. Man learned to handle it well and took care of it. The monkey's body got flatter by the human spirit's conduct and it became nicer - it transformed into a gentle shape. Thus, the first records of our human body appeared.
To explain the origin of the human spirit, we have to try to describe the Divine Creation at least in a metaphoric way. It's far greater than it is possible to imagine. The whole material universe is only a slight part of it on its border. The Creation has innumerable quantity of

By going through every level, the human spirit puts on other bodies, which make it possible for it to stay in the new environment. In the present time, we are able to take a photo of the heaviest bodies. We call them astral bodies and their emanation is called aura. Depending on the situation that attracts the human spirit and what sorts of experience it wants, it chooses such parents that it deems best for its purpose. It happens in the middle of a pregnancy when the spirit enters into the material body. As a child - after the birth, it learns ways how to command the body and it gradually becomes familiar with the world around. When the child grows up, a spiritual strength opens up in him (or her) and he enjoys life in its

    Summary Response In the article “Of Primates and Personhood” written by Ed Yong, demonstrates major developments between primatologist, biologists, and ethicists around the world. These major developments are a pending spanish law that would grant unprecedented protection toward great apes; Also, a recent extension to a swiss law that protects the dignity of organisms, and to redefine the meaning of human rights, and indeed whether such rights are the exclusive domain of humans. Furthermore, the Great Ape Project (GAP) has been established (1993). Not everyone had been comfortable with the GAP’s project, says Yong;…

    In Ed Yong’s, article, “Of Primates and Personhood: Will According Rights and “Dignity” to Nonhuman Organisms Halt Research”, argues apes should be respected more by humans.

    Primates are one of the most interesting mammals on earth, not only because of their complex social structures, but because they hold so many similar characteristics to humans. Primates are often cited as our closest living relatives and on two separate occasions I observed four separate species of primates at the San Diego Zoo that can justify their use of their physical characteristics and behaviors that may be similar as well as different to the other primates and ours.…

    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.…

    The order of Primates is comprised of an estimated 230-270 species, however, new species are being discovered every year and some scientists classify them using sub-specie groups, which makes it difficult to count an exact number of primate species in existence today. Most primates are found in tropical or subtropical regions of the world, but have never existed in Australia or most of the islands of the Pacific. Most primates are arboreal, meaning that they live in trees. Humans and gorillas are two species that are primarily terrestrial. Most primates are also diurnal, meaning they are active throughout hours of daylight and then sleep at night. They are also omnivorous and generalists, meaning that they will eat almost anything. This…

    When Gizhe-Manidoo first made the world he had to keep on revising his creation because he believed that no living thing could live on the planet as there was too much ice and too much water. Finally, on his fourth revision, the earth was made in such a way that the creator believed that every aspect of the planet was perfect enough for living creatures to live on it. He then made the four basic elements from which the sun, earth, moon and stars were created from. And finally he made the people of the…

    In St.Thomas Aquinas on the Body the soul and body are joined together in unity but they are not equal in importance. This is shown in the quote “For man's being consists in soul and body; and though the being of the body depends on the soul, yet the being for the human depends not on the body (I,75,2)”…

    In the article “Diet and Primate evolution” by Katherine Milton, it addresses the change in which the diet of primates evolves throughout millions of years and how it helps them, as a whole species, evolve and develop various characteristics, thus creating species variation. It discusses how at first, the primates are very primeval & this was largely due to their restricted diet. Secondly, it talks about the way in which they started to develop a more diverse diet and this resulted in speciation and also was related to natural selection. Lastly, it explains how their change in diet largely affected their brain size and cognitive functions enabling them to develop mentally as a species.…

    Science tells us that the earth and all other planets were made out of rings of hot gases revolving around the sun. Cooling and condensing over a period of billions of years formed the solid earth we now live on. Most of the earth was covered by water and the first form of life began in the form of single-celled bacteria. From the bacteria, animal life then evolved through a series of life forms up until the present day animals such as fish, reptiles, birds and beasts. Plant life also evolved from the very basic moss to trees over the same period. All this happened before the first hominid appeared on the earth. The world then continued to evolve signified by the continental drift causing the creation of the continents and the climate change.…
