The concept of language is an important theme that can…

and cannot do. Even though apes are our closest evolutionary ancestors, they still do not have any rights that could help protect them. Countries, such as Spain, the U.K., Sweden, Austria, Belgium, and The Netherlands, have given some rights to gorillas. These rights are used to protect these primates from experimentation, torture, and medical testing. Sadly one of the countries that does not have rights for apes is America. Even though America does not have rights for apes, there are many…

It’s a known fact that apes have been around for over 4 billion years. Much longer than humans have been around. They’ve been around for about 200,000 years. There is proven theories that we evolved from apes. Considering that we share similarities along with the obvious differences. For example behavioral ways would be the similarities with humans and primates. Living different life styles would fall more towards the ape section of this essay because they have been living in wild life since…

Humans and apes have both evolved from a common ancestor. They both lived on the continent of Africa. As they each evolved further apart, humans began to evolve certain traits that made them more evolved than apes. Humans first evolved bipedalism, then they began can to make tools, and finally their brains evolved to become larger and more complex. These traits helped humans evolve and survive in their climates. Even then, certain species of humans died off because their traits did not best suit…
