atomic explosions in Japan during World War II, and lived into his nineties. Part two discusses adaptations, hybrids, and what actually makes us human. An interesting story from this part discusses Ilya Ivanov’s obsession with creating a human-chimpanzee hybrid. Part three details how we as a species were once endangered, in addition to how our intelligence, and creativity evolved. Stories here, such as the autopsy of Einstein’s brain, are fascinating. In part four, the reader learns about…
Social Primates Most primates live in either small, large or solitary community. In group community, an individual will form different social bonds with members of the group for example, “chimpanzees maintain a variety of different types of social relationships with others, and the strength of social relationships in chimpanzees and other primates have been measured by different criteria, including duration of time spent feeding, travelling, resting, visually attending and grooming with the…
engineering and the vast majority who cannot. The danger of such is that the two classes “will become... entirely separate species with no ability to crossbreed, and with as much romantic interest in each other as a current human would have for a chimpanzee” (King 1). King sees this as an inevitable fate of human society if we don’t act now. His fear is that…

For my project, I chose to make an illustration. In the picture I have a breast cancer ribbon, a pot of boiling water, a prokaryote, a chromosome, a pedigree, and a factory to represent human impact, a flower to represent photosynthesis, a food chain, an energy pyramid, an embryo, humans evolving, a biomolecules chart, and the phases of mitosis. I drew a breast cancer ribbon because we talked about different types of cancer. There are many factors that go into the diagnosis of cancer. A lot of…

Animals may use tools and the environment to hunt and complete tasks quickly and efficiently, but monkeys and apes still use rocks. Humans use multiple forms of metallurgy and machines to complete their tasks and can do them faster and better than any chimpanzee. The ability to create leads us to become higher thinkers than the other species in the animal kingdom because with all of the labor saving devices, humans have the time to sit down and think about the…
Animals are not equal. People claim animals have the right to live but they would probably kill a spider if see one. The moral status animals is complex since not all animals are treated equal.

It can also has the potential to save more lives as researchers find cures or preventions for major…
One strain of the Ebola virus was discovered when a group of infected monkeys were shipped into the United State from the Philippines and the last strain was discovered when a scientist accidently infected herself while performing an autopsy on a chimpanzee. Multiple cases around 1976 broke out due to the handling of nesting bats and then once the virus transferred to the human host, hospitals did not take proper precautions with sterilization and the virus broke out of control in small remote…
