Gorillas in the Mist is the incredible story of Dian Fossey‚ an American Primatologist who spent the prime of her life studying and tracking gorillas. Throughout the story‚ she tells of the hardships that she had to face in order to study these magnificent creatures. At one point‚ when she was just beginning to get deep into her research and make incredible studies‚ all of her work was destroyed by a local militia and she was forced to leave the area. However‚ despite all of this‚ she refused to

"Lucy in the sky with diamonds"‚ which Johanson was listening to when he discovered the first bone. When he first discovered her‚ Johanson was immediately able to identify Lucy as a hominid. A hominid refers to a member of the zoological family Hominidae. Hominidae cover all species originating after the human/African ape ancestral split. It was so clear that Lucy was a hominid because she stood and walked in an upright position. How do we even know this much? When collecting the bones‚ Johanson observed

What are the major groups of primates? I thought that this question was very interesting because primates are the closest living relatives to humans. Primates are fascinating because they resemble a primitive or basal version of ourselves and at the same time are also quite different from us as well. There is a large number of primate species both in the African and Asian continents as well as in the Americas. Those species that are found in Africa and Asia are collectively called old world

reclassification of the great apes has been proposed. Traditionally‚ there was pongidae and hominidae (where apes and humans are classified separately). The proposed change is that all of the great apes become classified into hominidae‚ and then separate them out at different subfamilies and tribes. 4. Reclassification of the Great Apes (Family Names): i. Traditionally: Pongidae / Hominidae ii. Proposed: All Hominidae‚ different subfamilies and tribes C. Primate studies 1. Descriptive: describing

This essay will mainly focus about the similarities and differences of our species with Primates. Primates have been considered as our closest relative of our species many other’s believe that primates are very much like humans while some disagree with this point saying that the primates are nothing compared to us because we have evolved and intelligently smarter. In my opinion that Humans and Primates share similarities that can define them as our closest relative of our own species but also differences

Introduction The most well-known‚ universally dispersed of the early African hominins are the australopiths. This effective group of hominins is integrated of a genus known as Australopithecus. These hominins go as far back as three million years allowing them to be hominins that had lived the longest period of time and were reported on. The hominins have been located in areas of Africa and have been found to be bipedal (walk upright)‚ have small-sized brains‚ and have exceptionally big teeth
