For example, when he talks about the alternatives to zoos, he says, “Recently, I went on YouTube and watched a long and masterfully dones video of elephants mating” (Jones). This statement brought little importance to the “elephants mating” and added some humor to the writing because in normal situations, most people wouldn’t say that to someone else so openly.

These mechanisms are genetic drift, natural selection, mutations, gene flow, and non-random mating. Mutations involve a permanent change in the DNA sequence of an organism. Mutations can be beneficial, neutral, detrimental, or fatal to organisms. Mutations are passed on from parent to offspring and can cause evolution by increasing the size of…

size ratio as compared to their non-primate counterparts. Scientists have tried to explain this trait using various ecological, evolutionary, sexual context. On the other hand, the SBH attributes this primate characteristic to social concepts like mating, bi-paternal relationships, group existence etc. I found this interesting because SBH really looks into how our brain developed in a comprehensive way by looking at how primates relate to each other.
