An interesting effort along these lines is Gerald Peary’s “A Speculation: The Historicity of KING KONG” (JUMP CUT‚ 4)‚ which interprets the giant ape Kong as a conservative RKO’s very skeptical symbolic assessment of the New Deal‚ with the adventurer-promoter character Denham representing FDR. I believe‚ however‚ that a historical appreciation of the film should be expanded to include some other

Charles Darwin made his argument that humans had evolved from apes where he studied the comparative anatomy and embryology of human species in relation to gorillas and chimps. He pointed out that humans actually have a tailbone‚ eventhough we have no tail. Some people able to wiggle ears or flex the scalp muscle. Darwin used all of these converging lines of evidence to conclude that humans were most closely related to the African apes‚ the gorilla and the chimpanzee which all of three animals are

Even if we test it on our closest genetic ancestors (i.e. Apes)‚ we wouldn’t be sure if the medicine works on humans. Apes are underdeveloped and live in the wild‚ so they’re able to withstand the obstacles the environment throws at them better then man. Plus their body isn’t as equal as ours. We need people to test on. You might be thinking

Evolution throughout our ancestral past has shaped and moulded the human mind to its state. The earliest of ancestors‚ including apes‚ had very small brains‚ but as evolution progressed‚ so too did the human brain. The rapid progression of human intelligence has been attributed to environmental changes causing humans to change with their surroundings for survival. This lead to the

This is why it is important for us to observe and study these species now‚ in order to better understand the past and find the similarities‚ differences‚ and how each of these animals have adapted in their environments over time.

Adam and Eve versus Porphyria’s Lover Porphyria’s Lover and Adam and Eve are both poems regarding the expectations and disappointments of man. Although both poems are about expectations of a man regarding a woman‚ both narrators take a different perspective. Both narrators portray animal-like behavior.
