    The chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and the bonobo (Pan paniscus) are the two closest living relatives of humans. While, bonobos and chimpanzees are very similar to each other, they also differ in many significant ways. However, in some ways they resemble more closely to humans than to each other. For example, chimpanzee males are much more aggressive and violent, especially when competing for a mate or a rank within the group. This violence can be lethal.…

    The silverback raises his massive fists in the air, but the other male sees the attack coming and meets his fists in the air with his own. They both make a screaming sound as they try to strike each other furiously. They pause, but resume shortly. The silverback jabs and grabs the other’s thick, black fur, as if to tease him. By now other gorillas have rushed over to watch, and they…

    Bonobos Classified as the “Pan paniscus” (Bonobos Exhibit), Bonobos are, genetically, the closest living relative to Humans, “sharing 98.7% of their DNA” (Bonobo Species). A little less than 100 years ago, the (descriptive word) monkey was commonly mistaken for “dwarf chimpanzees” (Myrtille Guillon). Comparatively to the chimpanzee, bonobos are much smaller, the misconception arose since the common chimpanzee and bonobos share a similar environment, separated only by the Congo river. Many people believed they were the same type of chimpanzee but the Bonobos were smaller because their food sources were more scarce causing them to not grow to their full potential.…

    Pan paniscus is also closely related to the humans and very like humans in having rare cases of having aggressive encounters on normal basis. Aggressive encounters between males and females ae rare and the males are tolerant to the infants and juvenile. The less aggression in bonobos is because when a female enters a community, she has sexual relationships with the older male and both groom each other suppressing any kind of aggression that could occur (Wrangham and Peterson, 1996). Unlike in other primates, this is hardly seen. The males must forcefully have sex with the females instead of having mutual understanding.…

    However, when comparing the bonobo (a close relative of the chimpanzees) to humans, the two have a 1.2% genetic difference (Genetic Evidence). This is important because it really shows all the similarities we share with these primates. For example, Ridley discusses how humans and chimpanzees have the same bone structure and the same exact bones as humans. This was extremely interesting portion of this chapter because we have all these similarities, but I wonder why primates look completely different than humans do. Although primates are human’s closest relative, looking at the two side by side one would have no idea the genetic similarity is so great.…

    There are many different species of non-human primates. Each primate has its own characteristics, traits, and behaviors that establish its identity. Throughout history, however, primate species have evolved over time and there have been different research studies to see how primates have evolved. Northern white-cheeked gibbons are one of the closest relatives to human beings. White cheeked gibbon’s characteristics, traits, and behaviors explain the complexity of their species and how they are closely related to other non-human primates as well as human beings.…

    Both of these species are members of the Hominoid family. Although some people may find it difficult to accept, Apes have been said to be the ancestors of humans (O’Neil 2012). The apes and human are different from any other primate because they do not have tails. But the African apes and humans have essentially the same arrangement of internal organs, and share the same bones (O’Neil, 2012). They also have hands with thumbs that are sufficiently separate from the other fingers to allow them to be opposable for precision grips.…

    Los Angeles Zoo Primates Our day at the zoo simply started with the objective of completing our visit, by seeing at least one each of the primates of each category around the zoo. That was quickly discarded considering that amount of information that the zoo provided for us about each individual creature. Because of the way that the zoo was structured we were unable to simply follow a particular order in which the animals were categorized. We visited all the different primates (as much as we could possibly see in our time there) and simply observed them each and photograph their actions behaviors and appearance along with potential eats and actives that may undergo on a daily base. Organizing the visits based on categories made it easier to structure and understand why it is that each type of primate belongs to that group.…

    This species is more closely related to humans because their arms got thinner, legs got longer, and brains became larger. Researchers were able to figure this out after finding Turkana Boy; a complete skeleton of Homo erectus. Turkana Boy was very important because scientists were able to find out more specific characteristics of Homo erectus. Another major similarity to humans, is this is approximately the point where hominids became hairless. This was indicated because they began keeping cool by sweating.…
