Research result and explanation on the background of my opinion for assignment 3, “100th Monkey Syndrome” by Mr. Lyall Watson, it comes under the scope of “Urban Legend” or “Unscientific Gratuitous Fiction” in Japan, but even though I would like to believe that animals can communicate at vast distances though telepathy.
I think that Japanese study at Koshima is the one of evidence of organic evolution which animals interestingly further for wisdom of everyday life and necessity in nature.
Because Kosima semantically restricted to feeding monkeys to control natural life style of them and monkeys stopped to washing potato now, but interestingly, the scene had been witnessed that monkeys in Kosima, they are catching fish in sea instead of washing potato and they ate fish as row!

    MONKEYLUV: A CRITICAL REVIEW As I picked up picked up my AP Psychology required reading, Monkeyluv by Robert Sapolsky, I wondered what on earth animal behavior could have to do with human psychology. The idea that we could draw connections between the conduct of mice and humans escaped me; I had forgotten that humans were, in fact, animals. Sapolsky does his best to drive this point home as he humorously, yet intellectually, illustrates the idea that humans and animals are often more similar than we’d like to admit, and how by studying their behavior, we might better understand our own. Just who exactly is this man to be shattering my worldview?…

    The Scopes Trial, nicknamed the Monkey Trial, and formally known as The State of Tennessee versus John Thomas Scopes, stands to be one of the most significant court cases in American history. This trial has been credited as what started the dispute between creationism and evolution, as it showed the debate between two very strongly opposed parties: the faithful fundamentalists and the newly created group known as evolutionists. While this court case was really only intended to determine whether John Thomas Scopes had broken the law or not, it turned out to be something so much more than that. Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution in attempt to explain the history and diversity of life here on Earth. This theory of evolution by natural selection was presented by Charles Darwin in the early 19th century.…

    A trip to the zoo is always enlightening as no matter how long ago it was we last visited we can always forget something about the animals that live this world with us. Going to the zoo can remind us that we are creatures just like these animals, but also remind us that we are so much more than just animals. Our lives on the surface seem so much more complex than the primates around us, however if we could take the time to observe the lives and the emotions of the animals around us then maybe we can learn who they are, and maybe who we are. The primate that I picked was a mongooses lemur, native to Madagascar.…

    “Describe some research studies which have addressed the issue of whether non-human animals have a “theory of mind ', and explain what these studies have allowed psychologists to conclude in answer to the issue.” Chimpanzees are humans closest relatives and therefore are a good animal to study when attempting to assess whether non human animals have a theory of mind. This essay will attempt to first define what is meant by theory of mind, then will look at three studies and their approaches to researching theory of mind in non- human animals. It will briefly summarise, in turn, what each study attempted to achieve, how the study was conducted, and the subsequent finding of each study, specifically looking at areas of theory of mind which relate to chimps ' understanding of human problem solving and visual perception in both humans and other chimpanzees. “Theory of mind” refers to the way in which people understand other humans as thinking beings.…
