However‚ during the course of evolution‚ new social behaviors pushed the changes between humans and other primates further down

    important issues. To begin with‚ the study that supports the suggested conclusions is based on only eighteen rhesus monkeys. Clearly‚ this limited sample may not be representative enough to draw conclusions about all the members of this specie of primates and‚ even less‚ about the human being.

    If the author had instead illustrated the humans as primates‚ it would have been a plausible and expected image. It would not be unexpected or surprising to see humans behaving the same as the primates in this illustration. This is a quintessential example of juxtaposition; when humans share an environment with their primitive relatives‚ it is similar to Lord of the Flies when

    After going to Woodland Park and Zoo‚ observing primates has taught me about locomotor patterns of primates‚ relationships between locomotion and behavior‚ relationships between humans and other primates‚ and primates’ social interaction.

Since adult gorillas’ sheer sizes are big‚ they have to climb on the main trunk of the tree. Black-and-white Colobus Monkeys are arboreal quadruped and

    The question shakes us all to our very souls. For humans to consider the cloning of one another forces them all to question the very concepts of right and wrong that make them all human. The cloning of any species‚ whether they be human or non-human‚ is ethically and morally wrong. Scientists and ethicists alike have debated the implications of human and non-human cloning extensively since 1997 when scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland produced Dolly. No direct conclusions have been drawn

    Want of Kuwait’s oil and goods by Iraq pushed Americans to send soldiers to the small country to help protect it. If there was no greed‚ people would not be risking their lives over a small country in the middle east. That wouldn’t be the first time primates killed for greed. Monkey’s‚ gorillas‚ apes‚ and baboons fight for mates‚ territory‚ and food‚ just like humans. Those animals have their own wars with each other. If what scientists say about evolution is true‚ then why does man remain the same?

    Chimpanzees and bonobos are our closest living relative‚ sharing 98.8% DNA as well as anatomical and behavioural similarities‚ however we did not evolve from them or any other living primate‚ rather‚ we share a common ancestor from approximately 8 – 6 million years ago.
