non-human primates. Each primate has its own characteristics, traits, and behaviors that establish its identity. Throughout history, however, primate species have evolved over time and there have been different research studies to see how primates have evolved. Northern white-cheeked gibbons are one of the closest relatives to human beings. White cheeked gibbon’s characteristics, traits, and behaviors explain the complexity of their species and how they are closely related to other non-human…

Communication Human beings are primates, as are monkeys, and great apes. Observing our nonhuman primates it wouldn't take long before one would notice the behaviors of the nonhuman primate as being very similar to a human's behavior. A person may observe similar facial expressions, physical movements, or interactions with another nonhuman primate that could strengthen a person's confidence in knowing there has to be a connection in evolutionary history between the nonhuman primates and humans. …

that are subject to whatever whims human beings choose to impose on them. A slightly less common view is that animals deserve the same rights and protections that human beings do. Within this sphere of thought its often debated how far that goes. Some state that animals simply have the right not to be killed while others are more extreme and are of the mind that animals are worth the same or even more than human beings. If animals are of at least equal worth to human beings, then pet ownership…

be mighty animals who are strong willed and who stick together. These animals are family oriented and have human-like characteristics. In pop culture, there are many examples of these Gorillas like the very successful movies; Mighty Joe Young, King Kong, and George of the Jungle. In these movies and in many others like them, Gorillas are known to be mighty, strong, and overprotective. Humans portray Gorillas this way because when they analyze and study them in their natural habitat this is what…

Many people have wondered what actually makes us human. Is it our DNA, or maybe the size of our brain and how it functions? Could it be our ability for speech? Many individuals have studied endlessly trying to answer the difficult question, “What makes us human? In the NOVA documentary explores differences between skull and bone structure of the body, as well as the brain itself. Another area explored is how our brains process and react differently among species. Scientists have investigated…

Humans and animals have always been viewed as separate, but in truth we are one and the same. In The Bonobo and the Atheist Frans de Waal makes an argument about how are not different and that one trait many argue makes us different, our morals, is not just indicative of us. De Waal shows many examples of morals in animals, but it is apparent that there morals are still different then ours. Human and other animals share similar moral traits but they differ in their development, and scope of…

what is morally good and bad. I believe it is unethical for humans to cause pain to animals unless strictly for consumption or vital purposes. I believe it is morally right for animals to have a certain level of protection against animal cruelty. People argue that animals do not have the autonomy that human beings have and there for should not be provided rights. Such people believe that animals were only placed on Earth strictly for human use, that they cannot be rational or experience…

and he was Inspired by many ecological movements . He defines ’ Ecocriticism’’ as a way by which we imagine and portray the humans and environmental relationships in all cultural production as he says ecocriticism is the study of the relationship between the human and the non-human, throughout human cultural history and entailing critical analysis of the term “human” itself’ (Garrard, 2004, p. 5). He was in of the view that Ecocriticism is a method which define, explore and solve…

Scientists are often called upon to answer fundamental questions about human variation and its ramifications. While it is easy to get caught up in the idea of being so vastly genetically similar to our ape-like relatives, the assumptions underlying genetic data have more significance than the data itself. This can be seen when studying genetic and behavioral parallels of apes and humans, and how each affects the other with regards to phenotypic similarity. For all of its grandeur, a DNA sequence…

many keep them as pets, but the issue is complicated.”(Judson, 12) An issue that is difficult to keep in conversation because it deals with politics and stirs up press. Complicated experiments are a way to say that animals that your children see in Zoos and love very much are being tested on to find the greatest impact a child can take when hitting some object. Experiments that are performed on these animals are too harsh for any living creature to bare through. Monkeys are strapped into helmets…
