Chimpanzee

muscle tissue, Apes are covered in fur, which developed from being able to survive in a cold habitat (O’Neil, 2009). They can be found all over the world. An ape that normally walks on all four using their knuckles to support their weight, is the Chimpanzee (Debalfa, 2011). But they also do stand and walk upright using bipedal locomotion. Chimpanzees move efficiently in the trees by swinging from branch to branch. Their locomotion has been influenced by their varied environment, spending much of…

a young age readers understand that Rosemary’s childhood has been anything but ordinary. Which is why Fowler starts the story in the middle rather than the beginning (Fowler 2). Readers don’t discover that Rosemary’s sister, Fern, is actually a chimpanzee until Fowler already establishes human-like qualities in her. Fowler keeps her identity a secret, because she wants the readers to look at how close the Rosemary and Fern truly were. In Rosemary’s eyes Fern is human and later compares their…

Within the book Candide, human nature is debated and argued whether humans are mostly warlike and cause violence or that we are naturally born good, and that it is just our current state that makes us warlike. Candide suggests that humans cause violence almost everyday and every minute and almost every man and in the book is warlike. Almost every kingdom in Candide is at war and in this century, and small battles are very common. Although, the author of Candide, Voltaire, shows a great deal of…

But still we are not different from the other animals, especially our closest living primate relatives, the bonobos and chimpanzees. To understand ourselves and what our place in…

What kind of day do you think this woman is having? What’s going on here? And probably isn’t hard to imagine how these two are feeling, right? That’s because most humans are really good at silently communicating and interpreting a whole range emotions using only their facial muscles. Whether voluntary or involuntary, a simple curled lip, raised eyebrow, or crinkled nose, can speak volumes. In fact, many psychologists believe that not only are some of our basic facial expressions innate…
