suborder‚ which includes apes‚ humans and monkeys; the other primate suborder is the prosimians which includes lemurs‚ tarsiers and lorises. We are in the superfamily Hominoidea and the family hominidae‚ which includes people and our ancestors going back at least several million years. The Hominidae separated from the Pongidae family (chimpanzees‚ orangutans and gorillas) at some point in the distant past in the Miocene era (about 25 – 5 mya). In any case‚ a crucial

Charles Darwin; the creator and innovator of the theory of evolution deemed the application of human skills of creating of fire the second powerful accomplishment of humankind (Falk‚2012). During the Ice Age‚ Hominidae first learned of natural fires caused by lightnings and used it to their advantage. Our ancestors capability to start a fire help them survived in the extreme weather during the Ice Age (Ancient History‚2010). The Earth’s temperature during the Ice Age was about -11.1 degrees Celsius

Thesis statement: Barbecues have negative impacts on the environment because barbecues polluted the air and lake and also harmed the ecosystem in the forest park by decreasing the area of habitats and number of species. Abstract: The purpose of this research was to find the influence that human had in this area. The methods of this research were to investigate the local environment. The findings of this research were show the quality of the air and water and some living things in

Primate Classification LECTURE This lecture will address basic primate classification. Primates are classified based on their features- primates that share certain features are classified into the same group. There are lots of different ways of classifying animals- using an evolutionary taxonomy (like Linneaus’ family tree) or using cladistics. We are going to stick with the evolutionary taxonomy. There is a chart in your book- on Page 168-169 of your book- I would suggest that you have that open

Monkeys range in size from the Pygmy Marmoset‚ at 140 to 160 millimetres (5-6 in) long (plus tail) and 120 to 140 grams (4-5 oz) in weight‚ to the male Mandrill‚ almost 1 metre (3.3 ft) long and weighing 35 kilograms (77 lb). Some are arboreal (living in trees) while others live on the savannah; diets differ among the various species but may contain any of the following: fruit‚ leaves‚ seeds‚ nuts‚ flowers‚ eggs and small animals (including insects and spiders). Some characteristics are shared
