The gorilla is the world’s largest primate. Gorillas are mammals. Young and younger gorillas are called blackbacks. Older males have white hair on their backs and are called silverbacks. Silverbacks gorillas are the most aggressive person in the group. The duty of the silverback gorilla is to protect others from dangerous threats. They can get angry very fast. The males are twice as big as the females (Morgan 2). The name gorrilla means “hairy person” and was first used by an explorer from North

Bonobos: The bonobo is an in interesting species because it shares more than 98 percent of our genetic profile‚ which makes it very close to a human. It is believed that the human line of ancestry‚ along with the line of bonobo and chimpanzee‚ split about eight million years ago (http://songweaver.com). The bonobo is closely related to the chimpanzee but it is considered to be a different species (pygmy chimpanzee). When one looks at a bonobo‚ they may think that it looks a lot like a chimpanzee;

While humans and primates are related in many ways‚ there are distinct characteristics for hominids. The most unique characteristic difference that separates hominids and non-human primates is bipedalism. While hominids walk on two feet‚ non-human primates are quadrupedal‚ using all fours to get around. Multiple experiments were conducted to identify between the advantages and disadvantages of being bipedal. The first experiment involved observing human and non-human primates and their difference

Our closest relatives‚ the apes‚ the monkeys‚ and the lemurs‚ only live in tropical or subtropical areas. Today there are 153 different species of primates in the world. They are divided into five main groups: · Man; 1 genus‚ 1 species · Apes; 4 genera‚ 11 species · Old World monkeys; 14 genera‚ 72

ago‚ a meteor hit Earth and primates started to show up and eventually lead to our creation. There are many different kinds of primates that we have studied and learned from. We can go to different places to view and understand their life style. The Fort Worth zoo is one of those places where I went to observe and learn. I got to observe two white-cheeked gibbons and three ring-tailed Lemurs. Apart from their difference they also have some similarities. The first primate that I observed was the white-cheeked

Leakey’s Laetoli fossils are identical in form and belong to the same species. 4. Which hominid taxonomic group is "Lucy" placed into? "Lucy" it is placed into in to the taxonomic group called hominid (Australopithecus afarensis)‚ which includes all primates including chimpanzees‚ orangutans & gorillas. 5. Why is "Lucy" not considered an ancestor of modern apes‚ even if her jaw looks like that chimpanzee? Although the specimens of Au. Afarensis indicated that Lucy’s jaw was rather unlike other hominins

genes. I personally think that human and apes do share similarities such as most genes. Furthermore‚ “Humans belong to the biological group known as Primates‚ and are classified with the great apes‚ one of the major groups of the primate evolutionary tree. Besides similarities in anatomy and behavior‚ our close biological kinship with other primate species is indicated by DNA evidence. It confirms that our closest living biological relatives are chimpanzees and bonobos‚ with whom we share many traits”

language is used by humans we can affirm that the grammar is shown. When comparing humans and animals using ASL‚ it’s demonstrated on researches with primates that they are just able to sign the words itself; just sometimes they can put a few words together‚ but that doesn’t mean they are able to use grammar. In some of the research made with primates and ASL‚ researchers conclude that the animals were just mimicking theirs trainers in order to get treats or just to please them. Keeping in mind that
