Common Chimpanzee

Inner & Brandon C. Wheeler, within the chimpanzee community, killing occurs in a distinctive manner and is compared to the same behavior seen in humans conflicts. Such groups of males along with their families and others would raid other neighbor communities. They would kill everyone and return…

Modern Tarzan has CG hippos and crocodiles Never before has the jungle where Tarzan lives had so many computer generated animals. Rodeo FX completed nearly 200 visual effects shots for The Legend of Tarzan, including action sequences with CG hippos and crocodiles. The new Tarzan movie from Warner Bros. is a film about the return of the hero to the jungle, but many of the scenes that look as part of a nature documentary… were created with computers. The level of action you see in The Legend of…

Which species of monkey has only less than 200 in total in the wild? It’s the Francois langur! The habitat of the Francois langur is Asia, but also other countries in and around Asia. The areas where they live consist of semi-tropical and subtropical regions. The monkeys are covered in black fur all around their bodies, except for a white stripe that goes along their face. Additionally, young Francois langurs have orange fur until they are about one year old. Their diet is made up of things such…

made cannot be ignored, and possess much information regarding the evolution of humans. Bipedalism, the ability to move using two feet is an extraordinary feature that makes humans different from many species, including our closest cousins, the chimpanzee. When bipedalism came to be remained a mystery that prevented archaeologists, like me to fully understand evolution. Many believed that this trait evolved much later in terms of the timeline of human evolution, but this evidence contradicts…

What did you think of these films? Answer: I loved watching them, especially Koko, it was a rollercoaster ride for my emotions. It was fascinating to see the way Koko and Kanzi, had learned to communicate in the same language that humans do. I keep wondering if more people were as dedicated as Dr. Patterson with this subject, how far we would be today with communicating with other primates. Would these primates eventually be teaching other primates the human language by means of cultural…

Lab report 3 At first glance it may appears unbelievable, because human bipedalism is such a key evolutionary innovation. Few characteristics of being human have engrossed such intense debate than the fact that, distinct from many other living mammals, humans walk upright on two legs. Unlike the quadrupedal primates, bipedal primates are sluggish, clumsy, and particularly unbalanced and disposed to to falls and injury. In spite of the negatives characteristics, bipedalism has allowed humans to…

In 1972 Maurice Taieb, 40, of France's National Center for Scientific Research, and Donald Carl Johanson, 34, of Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, discovered stone instruments going back 2.6 million years in the Afar area of Ethiopia. After two years their group made a considerably more sensational disclosure. On November 24, 1974, Donald Johanson and his understudy Tom Gray were reviewing a site named Hadar in the Afar area of Ethiopia, East -Africa…

The primate species that I am studying is the Common Squirrel Monkey, also known as Saimiri sciureus. Squirrel monkeys are considered frugivorous and insectivorous, meaning they mainly consume fruits and insects. However, they mainly forage for insects, but in times when insects as scare, they turn to fruits. Examples of insects include orthopterans (grasshoppers, crickets) and lepidopterans (moths, butterflies), while fruits include leguminosae (legumes) and sapotaceae (Lima and Ferrari,…

In the film, “The Real Eve”, there was a lot of information to process, but a lot of very fascinating details and facts about the first modern humans and how far they came. To start off, before I watched this video I thought humans first appeared on Earth may 70,000 years ago. However, in the documentary it mentioned that the first modern humans appeared in Africa 150,000 years ago, which really made me think how much longer Neanderthals were on Earth before us, considering that they’re a…

Hominid Evolution is the evolution of human lineage. Dating back millions of years with Sahelanthropus tchadensis, it's the oldest found hominid, dated around 7 million years old. This species is known for its cranium and it's very small brain size, and a specific amount of both jaws and teeth. It has many, ape-like features, such as; small brain size, brow ridges and small canine teeth, which are characteristic of hominids. However, this along with the fact that it comes from around the…
