Common Chimpanzee

The Chimpanzee Conservation In today’s society many species are endangered due to many reason, but most of those reasons are close related or caused by humans. In the primate’s world endangerment is not absent, and for chimpanzees species this is a very sad reality. Chimpanzee rates have been declining for a long time, and as of today chimpanzees are considered an endangered species (Pusey, 2007). The endanger of the chimpanzee has been attributed to many factors, the main ones are diseases,…

called the pygmy chimpanzee and less often, the dwarf chimpanzee, is an endangered great ape and one of the two species making up the genus Pan; the other is Pan Troglodytes, or the common chimpanzee. Although the name "chimpanzee" is sometimes used to refer to both species together, it is usually understood as referring to the common chimpanzee, whereas Pan paniscus is usually referred to as the bonobo. Fossils of Pan species were not described until 2005. Existing chimpanzee populations…

Chimpanzees have undergone speciation resulting in four subspecies within Pan troglodytes, the common chimp, a species of the great ape. There are four subspecies related to the Pan troglodytes: the West African Chimp (P. t. verus), the Nigeria-Cameroon Chimp (P. t. ellioti), the Central Chimp (P. t. troglodytes), and the Eastern Chimp (P. t. schweinfurthii). Here is the scientific classification of the Common Chimpanzee: the kingdom is Animalia, the Phylum Chordata, the Class Mammalia, the…

All mammals are descended from a common ancestor and, consequently, their bones share similar morphological features. The same bones are present, but will differ in appearance depending on what functions they carry out. The primary difference in these bones is size. Approximately 30% of forensic investigations involve non-human bones which have been mistakenly identified as human remains, so it is important for a Forensic Anthropologist to be able to recognise these differences and use this…

movies and eventually grew to actual apes. The movies both had a relationship bond between an animal and a human. The humans did not feel how the animals felt at first, but soon felt the same way. In the movie “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” a chimpanzee was raised by a human and grew attached to human related things. Which also made him think he was a human, until he was a testing sample cure for the Alzheimer’s disease. In the “King Kong” movie a group along with a filmmaker traveled to an…

to the way they obtain food. Chimpanzees have one of the most organized and complex social societies within the animal kingdom. Chimpanzees social structure is balanced because the survival of their species depends on it. It is fundamental for a chimpanzee to be a member of a community since this provides them protection against predators, easier food procurement, and greater territorial…

Introduction Growing up as humans we are born with certain characteristics such has our looks, personalities, and even dominant physical traits that are given to us through DNA. All of this comes from our parents and can even trace back into our family roots on either our mother’s side of the family or our father’s side of the family. No one person is exactly alike but they do share similarities as well as many differences. Our environment and culture also plays a significant role in the way…

Stop 1: Chimpanzee, Modern Human, and Neandertal Skeleton 1. The modern human skeleton is much larger in size compared to the chimpanzee and hominid skeleton. The Chimpanzee had longer arms, much narrower rib cage and smaller skull compared to both ancient hominid and human. On the other hand, the hominid had robust bone joints, allowing more flexibility. The skeleton structure of chimpanzee indicates that they moved by using four limbs while both human and hominid walked upright. 2. The…

to justify our subconscious behaviors and emotions and to prevent us from abandoning them rather than to restrain us from enlightening them. In this paper I would like to provide ecological information that shows the difference between bonobos and common chimpanzees. While carefully shedding light on which one of the Pan Primates mostly resembles our past ancestors and Homo sapiens (humans) in present day genera systems. Hominidae are considered a taxonomic family that are made up of seven…

chimpanzees” (Myrtille Guillon). Comparatively to the chimpanzee, bonobos are much smaller, the misconception arose since the common chimpanzee and bonobos share a similar environment, separated only by the Congo river. Many people believed they were the same type of chimpanzee but the Bonobos were smaller because their food sources were more scarce causing them to not grow to their full potential. Instead, bonobos and chimpanzees evolved from a “common ancestor over 1 million years ago”…
