Common Chimpanzee

The intelligent and aggressive species known as the chimpanzee is recognized as the most closely related animal to humans in the world. At one time it was believed that gorillas and chimps were the most closely related, until new technologies were developed resulting in the finding that humans share a massive 99% of our DNA with these creatures. Chimpanzees are classified in the genus known as Pan, along with the species bonono, but not with humans. Humans are classified in their own genus known…

species are so closely related, but are so distant in characteristics. Both bonobos and chimpanzees fall with in the same genius but are two different species altogether. Two million years ago both bonobos and chimpanzees originated from the same common ancestor, making the genome of the two species about 99.6 percent identical. Yet, differences between bonobos and chimpanzees are revealed when we compare their appearance, social behavior and governing societies. The Congo is the only place…

“Cooperation is what makes us human” vs “Thought In the essay “Cooperation is what makes us human” the author determines the reason why cooperation makes us human. The author analyzes by using specific examples the differences that we have between animal’s cooperation and Human beings cooperation, while in the “Thought experiment” essay the author point out two kind of life’s perception. While analyzing these two essays, I had two important questions in mind, which is how and why these two…

In the experiment performed in zoological parks using the adapted Five Factor Model + Dominance, six clearly defined factors were determined, and each of the factors was compared to the human factor model. It was discovered that the strongest chimpanzee personality factor was not one of the human Big Five, but accounted for the dominance factor in chimpanzees. The remaining, original five factors bore a striking resemblance to the human Big Five (King & Figueredo, 1997). Similarly, dominance was…

The Outstanding life of Jane Goodall “My greatest hope lies in the fact that young people, are not only aware of the problems, but actually want to help solve them” (Haugen 93). Jane Goodall is a primate conservationist, every year she helps save more and more wildlife. Jane Goodall saves many chimpanzees from suffering in the wild with medical aid and shelter to the sick and injured. Goodall formed several agencies in which she helps fund, to save as much wildlife as she can. Beginning at a…

Sugar gliders phylum is Petaurus, and their scientific name is Petaurus Breviceps. They are omnivores, and don’t have any population problems, they have a stable population. Some of their characteristics they have and their needs are that that they are very loving, and get their name from eating sweet foods. They get along with house pets like dogs. They usually need big cages and need at least another sugar glider with. They live in the wild or forest in Northern and/or Eastern mainland…

Animal Testing is a very big controversy on if it should be happening or it should not be happening. There are many pros and cons to either side. One side is saying that animal testing is bad and should not be happening. To certain animals that is human beings love and do not want this to happen too. The other side says it is good for our human race and should be happening to the animals because it helps us live longer as a race. For many it is just a moral issue to the topic and many people are…

Millions of animals are being imprisoned in cages waiting on the next experiment to be performed; these animals are the victims of animal testing. Animal testing is the use of animals in scientific procedures to discover if certain substances are safe for humans. Of the one hundred million animals that are tested on each year, the diversity of the species ranges from frogs to monkeys. The individuals for animal testing approve of what occurs inside the laboratories, and those against animal…

Relationships between animals and humans have always been a mixed bag of need and fascination over differences and similarities. For generations humans have used animals as personal companions, work support and to understand themselves better and sometimes to the disadvantage of the animals. Primates are human’s closest relatives genetically and in social behavior relations. This makes them the best option to study and learn more about human psychology and the nervous system Through neurobiology…

Consequences of Genetic Manipulation: Genetic Manipulation When one thinks about what it is to be human many important characteristics and factors are often times over looked. Once one understands what it is to be human then the concept of the use of genetic manipulation will be carefully examined in the way in which it utilized. If a child is on his or her dying bed and to save the child’s life a transplant of some sort is needed. What needs to be considered is it justifiable to then create…
