Frogs are the one of the oldest species on Earth; however, the extinction rates of frogs is higher than it’s ever been, and it’s only increasing. Kolbert then focused specifically on Panamanian golden frogs. Not too long ago, these frogs were plentiful, but recently the numbers have decreased due to human’s introducing a native species to Panama: Chytrid fungus.…

    The article, “Of Primates and Personhood: Will According Rights and Dignity” by Ed Yong, discussed and attempted to promgulate the humane treatments of primates, especially those used for experimentation. Yong also elaborated on the Great Ape Project, an association established to gain a basic set of rights for chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, and orangutans. Furthermore, he asserted that there are studies and data proving that animals are capable of experiencing pain and other emotions, and therefore, it is only logic to give them the treatment they deserve. In addition, some animals, particularly primates, are genetically linked with humans; in that sense, it is undeniable that they should be allowed to share the basic rights that humans…

    The United States was arguably in one of its prime times back in the 1920s. They had made massive income, selling defense equipment to the other countries during World War I. Everybody was profiting, but this nation was undergoing many, many, changes in this era as well. As Americans began to move into larger cities and areas, often to the Northeast, and society became more urbanized, it would seem very reasonable for new ideas to begin emerging; popping up and taking effect. And one of these specific philosophies was the idea of modernism, with things such as changes to education, and making education mandatory. The US was truly growing, arguably in a revolution, and in addition to these changes, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution became…

    The Evolution in Primate Locomotion and Body Configuration One of the most important parts of the primate evolution is when the primates changed in body structure and locomotion. Although some may say that the origin of the human bipedalism is a persistent mystery (Gebo 1996); however, the evolution of bipedalism began in order to survive through climate changes, be able to hunt their food and get away from danger in order to survive. Primate locomotion can be classified into four major types: vertical clinging and leaping, quadrupedalism, brachiating and bipedalism (Groves, 2014). Over the millions of years, primates have been adapting to the changing environment therefore improving the structure of their bodies and speed (“Evolution…
