In the experiment performed in zoological parks using the adapted Five Factor Model + Dominance, six clearly defined factors were determined, and each of the factors was compared to the human factor model. It was discovered that the strongest chimpanzee personality factor was not one of the human Big Five, but accounted for the dominance factor in chimpanzees. The remaining, original five factors bore a striking resemblance to the human Big Five (King & Figueredo, 1997). Similarly, dominance was…

Which species of monkey has only less than 200 in total in the wild? It’s the Francois langur! The habitat of the Francois langur is Asia, but also other countries in and around Asia. The areas where they live consist of semi-tropical and subtropical regions. The monkeys are covered in black fur all around their bodies, except for a white stripe that goes along their face. Additionally, young Francois langurs have orange fur until they are about one year old. Their diet is made up of things such…

other primates. Would these primates eventually be teaching other primates the human language by means of cultural transmission? If so, in a million years from now, and through the process of natural selection, I wonder how advanced these bonobos and gorillas would be. -What (if anything) did you learn from the films that you did not gain from reading the text or listening to the class lecture? Answer: I think the chapter fourteen covered pretty much everything. -Do you feel that Penny…

Lab report 3 At first glance it may appears unbelievable, because human bipedalism is such a key evolutionary innovation. Few characteristics of being human have engrossed such intense debate than the fact that, distinct from many other living mammals, humans walk upright on two legs. Unlike the quadrupedal primates, bipedal primates are sluggish, clumsy, and particularly unbalanced and disposed to to falls and injury. In spite of the negatives characteristics, bipedalism has allowed humans to…

species of primates. Some of those primates include; a recently discovered group of Ebo gorillas and the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee. The Organization's mission was to inspire people to help save their local wildlife, especially the small population of Ebo gorillas which numbered at 25 individuals. The creation of the Clubs des Amis des Gorilles (Gorilla Guardian Clubs), voluntary community-run clubs near the gorillas’ habitat, was a huge success. The guardians…

The Zebra strips are all unique. No two zebras have the same strips pattern. There stripe are black and white and the strip can brown. There can be thin strips and thick strips. There also darker strips. They all different general patters of strips. The mountain Zebra can 529 to 820 lbs. A mountain zebra are 3.8 to 4.9 feet tall at the shoulder. A plain zebra are 3.6 to 4.8 feet all at the shoulder and they weigh up to 770 lbs. a largest zebra is the Grevy Zebra weights 770 to 990 lbs. It is…

Crested Mona Monkeys are a social and activity species. Their playful personalities and physical features play a role in how they got their common names. The crowned monkey, golden bellied guenon, and Cercopithecus Mona are just a few of their common nicknames, but this creature have the ability to adapt to different environmental pressures that caused a wide spread of subspecies that ranges from the Cross River, south of the Congo Basin, raising to Rwanda, and Uganda. Also this species was also…

Legend of Tarzan, the main character Tarzan was raised by gorillas after being abandoned by his parents in the African jungle. Later throughout his life a group of travelers found their way into the jungle in search of the gorillas, but instead find Tarzan and only he knows where the gorillas are located. Clayton (the leader of the "expedition") turned on some of his crew members and Tarzan because his goal was to capture/kill the gorillas. Even though throughout the climax Clayton appeared to…

Many Primatologist has been trying to find the connection among humans, ape, and monkeys. That this two primates has almost the same genetics to humans indicating them as the closest relatives of anthropoids, but while some disagree with this point saying that the apes and monkeys are nothing compared to humans because of differences in physical biology and advanced intelligence. In my opinion that humans, apes and monkeys share genetic bonds that makes them share certain analogy and…

Fern’s reintroduction to the chimpanzee once again reveals another part of animal behavior; despite previous notions of societies structured by dominance and instinct, Fern is at the top of the social hierarchy. In the scientific community, apes such as bonobos are characterized by a “continual and casual sexual congress.” (150) Dr. Sosa, one of Rosemary’s professors, states that “the lowest-status male was higher than the highest-status female” (148). Dr. Sosa was eager to establish that…
