“Chimpanzee!”, yells a prospector. For a long period of time the apes which held the title, closest human relatives, was the common chimpanzee. The common chimpanzee also known as Pan troglodytes now shares this similar significant connection in the relation to human evolution with another ape, Pan paniscus. Bonobos, the common name for the species Pan paniscus, shares almost 99% of its genome with humans like the common chimpanzee. These percentages represent commonalities in genetics but similarities

Ever since the world was created, we as humans have evolved due to primate evolution. Each primate has developed different physical appearances over time. They were categorized as primates because they share many features such as: a bent vertical position, bendable limbs , hands and feet has high degree quality, maintaining of the 5 digits on hands and feet, function of the opposable thumb, they had nails instead of claws, lack of nutritional knowledge, color vision with outstanding awareness, their
Primates dedicate a wide range of time in parenting their young. Because they invest a lot of time in each offspring, they tend to have only a few throughout the course of their lives. Generally, the female primate is more committed to their young’s nutrition and social behavior skills. Primate offspring are usually smarter than other mammals, which is influenced also by the intensive parenting they go throughout their infant years. This reflects the distinctive way of primates parenting, such as
Using animals to test the safety of products and to carry out scientific research has long been a contentious issue for decades. According to Orlans, F. Barbara (1993), “sixty percent of all the experimental animals were used in biomedical research and product-safety testing” (p.62). People seem to have different feelings for animals; many of them likely look upon animals as their soul mate whereas others might view animals as the essential resources for advancing the scientific research. No matter

“Monkey Love” During 1930s, Harry Harlow, the American psychologist, started a series of experiments by using infant monkeys. The experiments were supposed to study monkeys’ cognitive progress in a fake environment, where there were two kinds of fake mothers. One was a wired one that produced milk, the other one, soft-cloth-covered without milk. The whole experiment was based on his curiosity regarding the probable connection between love, touch, dependency, socializing, and cognitive/emotional
What type of monkey species type is a Simia Sciureus? A Squirrel Monkey this monkey is a small monkey that has a rather small body of about a foot long, but the tail on the other hand is about 16 inches long! This monkey's diet is a rather normal diet for a monkey. It includes things like insects, and flowers. This certain type of monkey lives in cultivated areas that are usually around rivers or streams. A squirrel monkey is a very small monkey because of its size it is eaten by a lot of other animals
For this last part I’m going to compare and contrast humans and ape, specifically chimpanzees. Humans and Chimps have many differences, lets start with communication. Humans communicate with other humans through speech. We human learn words since we are babies and as we get older we develop a vast vocabulary. We are able to form sentences and we can even learn multiple languages. Chimpanzees communicate through sound; those sounds are different vocal calls. When they are in danger, or someone is
