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.

Another example of how much of a dramatic affect that poaching happens on the population of certain species is that now due to poaching only 900 mountain gorillas remain and also last year 35‚000 African elephants were slaughtered for their horns.
