Common Chimpanzee

I was introduced to the Baptist religion when I was in kindergarten. A group of people from my town’s Baptist church came to my house immediately after September 11, 2001. They chose to come to our house because they felt moved to preach the good news to my mother who was a firefighter at the time. Their ultimate goal was to spread the good news to our whole family. After they left my house, my mom came into my bedroom to tell me what she had just learned. I listened intently, scared and…

Everything Wrong With Perfection The case of human perfection. With technology advancements in this day and age, being able to alter the genes of humans to create perfect people is not so far away. In fact, scientists have already begun to work on this experiment and it is said to be coming about smoothly, according to the internet, and in the near future, we will be able to pay for the genetically perfect race. Although this seems to be a good idea, not having to worry about failure, health…

A human, according to TheFreeDictionary.com, is “a member of the primate genus Homo, especially a member of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other apes by a large brain and the capacity for speech. Because homo sapiens have larger brains and the capacity for speech, we see ourselves as superior - and in many ways we are. We, as a species, have created all that the material world has to offer and have constantly proven, to ourselves, that there is not much that we aren’t capable of…

emotions, the main root some would say. Affection helps us go off on anger, sadness, all the basic emotions that are able to bloom into a complex emotion. Animals are able to show tiny bits of love whether it be a dog licking its humans cheek, or a chimpanzee stroking it’s mate. Are they truly able to know that they are producing these emotions for other species to see. We however, are able to show that affection and all these emotions to our partners or other humans. We as species are able to…

Ishmael is a captivating story written by Daniel Quinn about a teacher, a gorilla named Ishmael who has the ability to speak telepathically, and a student with an eager desire to learn. Ishmael and the student begin to meet regularly while Ishmael teaches the student about the history of his culture and how things came to be. Throughout the story, Quinn successfully managed to completely change my opinion and outlook on how we, as humans, should take care of our world and the people who live on…

is argued that language does not make humans different because chimpanzees have a similar non-verbal form of communication and there are many examples of animals learning various gestures, words, and their meaning after being taught by humans. “Chimpanzee Communication,” text 5, expresses that, “[chimpanzees’] calls, postures, and gestures, together, add up to a… complex and sophisticated method.” Chimpanzees have a similar non-verbal communication to humans with their variety of meaningful…

While research shows that the navicular and talus are ape-like, the calcaneocuboid articulation resembles that of a modern human (Harcourt-Smith et al., 2004). This is a very distinct morphological change in the foot of a chimpanzee to the foot of Homo sapiens sapiens, and reinforces that chimpanzees are a proxy for pre-hominin ancestors. The medial column is ape-like, with no arch like in modern humans, showing that the arch discovered in A. afarensis continued in other Homo…

Human beings are always being compared to other animals. How are we similar? How are we different? One of the most compared features between humans and other animals is self-awareness. Self-awareness is the ability of an individual who knows that they have a distinct identity that separates them from others. As children and infants we do not possesses we have no awareness of self and cannot tell the differences between other humans and material objects. Only gradually do we as children start to…
