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…

Chimpanzees are species of apes from the genus Pan. The common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) is from the phylum Chordata and class Mammalia, they are believed to be the closest relatives to humans due to its evolutionary relationships with humans and its common ancestor, there are many similarities that chimps share with humans. Among these similarities is the display of tool-using behaviors in chimps. Nut cracking has been considered as one of the most complex forms (Schrauf et al. 2012). In its…

1. How do capuchin monkeys obtain meat from clams? Is this a learned behaviour? The capuchin monkeys have learned that if they hit the clams hard enough on a tough surface for a long enough duration of time, the shells will begin to relax and can be opened. This is a learned behavior that will be passed down to the next generations by observation of the young. It can take years for a young capuchin monkey to fully learn how to obtain the meat from clams. 2. What do capuchin monkeys use the…

There are so many connections between us and chimpanzees, and in Jane Goodall’s book, through a Window, My Thirty Years with Chimpanzees of Gombe she observed chimpanzees. Jane Goodall is a primatologist and she lived 50 years of her life in the jungle studying chimpanzees. We also observed a video called Monkey in the Mirror Chimpanzees are so like humans with learning, development and growing knowledge. Mothers care and attend to their children, they have motherly instinct just like we do.…

Much of what we know about the origins of anthropoids comes from Fayoum, Egypt. Three families of anthropoids have been identified at Fayoum: Parapithecidae, Oligopithecidae, and Propliopithecidae. The ones we are going to talk about are dated 33 million years ago. They all have various species. In addition they are being compared to or recognized to have characteristics of Old World, New World, and Modern World traits. Parapithecids are divided into four genera and eight species. They were…

The bonobo (Pan paniscus), formerly 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…

The Australopithecus anamensis was one of the early human ancestors who lived approximately 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago. This hominid was found on the Eastern of Africa, such as the Middle Awash in northern Ethiopia and in Lake Turkana in Kenya. The word Australopithecus is the genus name, and it literally means ‘Southern Ape’ (coming from the Latin word ‘australo’ = ‘southern’ and a Greek word ‘pithecus’ = ‘ape’). The word anamensis comes from the word ‘anam’ (meaning ‘lake’ in the Turkana…
