PBL #1: Evolve a Primate! Species Name: Crescens ignis Common Name: Fire Crescent Monkey Geographic Distribution: Crescens ignis are native to regions in the heart of the Amazon’s tropical rainforests. They live in highly arboreal where there are seasonal changes in rainfall and temperatures. According to Fragaszy (1950), with such a highly arboreal area these monkeys are able to “use all levels from the canopy to the understory, going to the ground to drink, forage or travel” (p. 1). These…

In Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection, John T. Cacioppo and William Patrick delve into the natural phenomenon that is loneliness – what it is, what effects it has on the health and well-being of individuals, and what we can do to combat it. The authors use real life scenarios from individuals who offered up their precious time to be studied in order to determine just how “lonely” they truly are. They also utilize scientific research gathered from animals and tribes from…

Friends or Food? Relationships between humans and animals vary between different species. Generally, humans categorize animals into two categories, friend or food. Depending on where one resides, people may have differences of opinion on which animals are considered edible. For example, prior to South Korea hosting the World Cup in 2002, a letter was sent to the South Korean government from multiple players on Britain’s soccer team addressing their condemnation of the country’s farming of cats…

become a key component of human adaptation. It has also impacted other human developments such as such as higher population densities, greater sedentism, and longdistance migrations by people. This article reports the “abundance of marine invertebrate species from PP13B cave and interpret[s] these abundances in terms of paleoenvironmental changes”, how shellfish is procured in rocky and sandy shores, and what else the collection of marine shells can be used for other than food collection.…

Sweetness and Light, by Hattie Ellis, is about the history and biology of bees. Bee biology is the main study being covered throughout the entire book.

The Sprouting Seed “What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?” (Golding 91). This quote is used in Lord of the Flies, at a meeting about the beast. The quote brings to light the real intention of the book, which is showing how easy it is under pressure to fall into savage like behavior. Golding shows this very well in the Lord of the Flies. Fear converts the boys into cold-hearted savages. In the middle of a war, a plane full of young boys crashes on an unknown island leaving them alone with…

Alpacas Llamas and alpacas may seem to be the same animal, but many differences show the separation. Alpacas are actually ½ to ⅓ of the size of llamas, and are vastly different in the way they live. Alpacas are actually ancient animals that were domesticated around 6,000 years ago. They have a very long, intricate history, with many physical characteristics; similar to llamas, but they differ with their divergent habits, and separate purposes. Both do ultimately relate back to the camelid…
