Apes Passage Analysis

“The boy with fair hair lowered himself down the last few feet of rock and began to pick his way towards the lagoon.” (pg. 7)

This in turn means that the use of bipedal locomotion in gathering food, or caring for the young is also more efficient and allows for greater reproductive success. Their argument is based on a study which they conducted which consisted of the training and observation of five Chimpanzees. In this study pressure pads to calculate the “ground reaction force” (Sockol et al 2007) and high speed cameras were used to monitor the movements of the Chimpanzees more accurately (Sockol et al 2007). For comparison they also employed four human subjects in their study.

Some similarities between the two videos where that the chimpanzees (chimps) both used tools. and they both interacted with humans. and they both used vocales to communicate. some differences are that it the Jane goodall video she was studying the chimpanzees in the wild and the chimpanzees were mainly observed and in the sally boysen video she studied the chimpanzees in the captivity and the chimpanzees were many experimental .

The primary message this page wants to address is that humans are very similar to other primates because humans are primates as well. Many of the similarities can be seen in appearances and genetic code though their behavior is a lot more similar than some would think. The page also wants to convey that it will address some of the ways that human and other primates are similar and different.

McMurphy was a so called a psychopath rite when he first arrived to the ward. Things really came alive when he arrived he immediately took over the ward.Even though everyone in the ward was scared and afraid of Nurse ratchet.Everyone was scared to get electroshock therapy or lobotomy session because it was all up to Nurse Ratchet,so of course no one wanted to get on her bad side until Mcmurphy arrived to ward and everything changed because he was the only so called rebel to stand up to Nurse Ratchet.Since none of the patients had confidence to stand up for themselves he then standed up for the patients and started to push the limits on Nurse Ratchet by telling her to turn on the tv so all the patients could watch the world series,and makeing

Within this essay, we will study more in depth the behavioral as well as physical traits of two primates at a zoo from their interaction with their peers to their place in the group. This observation would enable us to further understand the possible existing correlation between humans and primates. First, I studied a female chimpanzee with her baby, and then, a dominant male gorilla, in San Francisco Zoo at about noon, on May 23, 2015, for an hour each. Even though they share some similarities such as having a large brain, living for a long time, and being bored in their enclosure, they are still different; when gorillas are the largest, chimpanzees are the smartest. In fact, chimps use tools to catch food, they would not be able to reach

Various primates show ability in their environment, some concepts may exist to other than human species or it may not. The author explains in depth the certain behaviours that come with forms of communication. Throughout this article, understanding the behavioural reasoning to observe predictions from one another. Social environment has been said to be suggested to represent the components. This mainstream article published online has a brief report and explains the facts by categories and only facts not opinions or comments. The specific format which describes the details right away and by the following paragraphs that help me understand it easier because it is not hard to read, the concept is right then and there. I like the fact that this article demonstrates the behavior of primates in formats that are understandable and can represent debate lies. Within assumption the examples given of behavior were simply a chimpanzee trying to go up a tree. A few chimpanzees took different roles tring to help each other up a tree. Experiments are said to look for evidence for primate subjects not just performing an act but also understanding

In the end, the Golden – Cheeked Gibbon is a fascinating primate that has a unique style of motion and call. While I did not experience that call that the gibbon uses to either have a mating partner or claim its own territory, it does exist. Their way of moving throughout the enclosure is fascinating to watch as they swing their long arms around. Moving from prop to prop they are easily able to move from one side of the enclosure in under ten seconds. The primates provided key examples on similarities that humans share with these animals, and other primates. The interaction

In Seth Borenstein’s article about non-human primates, he discusses how humans and apes are similar. Likewise, the author states that it appears that apes have the skill sets to walk in someone else’s shoes, just as humans can. The author ties in a study that was conducted on select great apes to see if they shared this trait with humans known as the “theory of the mind.” Borenstien points out the study focuses on the idea of false beliefs and how these primates react to this information. He continues by expressing that previously, the great apes were thought to be unable to understand this concept that human toddlers could, but according to recent research involving primates and clips of King Kong, these apes are capable of understanding that what is happening is not true. An expert, Kano, from the University of Kyoto commented on the study and remarked that while this is a big step, it does not imply full complex understanding. However, Borenstien insists that this is very important because previous studies were unsuccessful and this expresses complex cognition among non-human primates. On the other hand, the author includes the facts that the sample size for this

As Michael James explains“They beat the shit out of you..They’re yelling ‘Stop resisting!’ Stop resisting!’ when you’re not even moving.”...I couldn't stand it no more...I’ve knocked myself out by running full force into the wall” (Tapley 216). He expresses hhow he wasnet doing anything and yet the guard would slam his head to wall,punh, poke and all while he was handcuffed. He mentions how he understand punihment is suppose to be placed when an inmate is out of line but, he makes it clear that he doesnt have to do anything to get beaten by the guards. Michael story is the same as many other inmates. James had harsh childhood and now his prison days increase the chances for him to get mentally ill when he entered solitary confinement for

Based on Chapter ten from the textbook, there are seven distinct differences of a bipedal hominin like us humans, and a quadrupedal pongid, such as a gorilla (Larsen, 2014). One of the seven steps include the length of the leg, shown in humans to be long which gives us proficiency when striding or running unlike apes that have long arms for climbing on trees. A second step is the opposable big toe found only in apes that give them the capability to take hold of objects and walk. A third step of the seven is the position of the foramen magnum, which in humans is on the bottom of the skull while in apes it is in a posterior position. Overall, the difference is found in that the human head rests on top of the body while the ape head sits in the front. Lastly, a fourth step is the shape of the spine. Humans have an S-shape and apes have an almost C-shaped. Humans have numerous curves to assist in maintaining balance when standing up.

First of all, both the methods and amounts of locomotion were very different. The siamangs brachiated and walked bipedally, while the Diana monkeys climbed and moved quadrupedally. The siamangs locomoted on the ground more than they did on the trees or ropes, while the Diana monkeys locomoted in the trees more than they did on the ground. Additionally, the Diana monkeys seemed much more active than the siamangs did. The Diana monkey we observed spent 14.55% of the time climbing, 2.66% of the time quadrupedally moving, 8.51% of the time playing, which were all considerably active behaviors. This adds up to a total of 25.72% of the time observed spent actively. The siamang, however, spent 1.33% of the time brachiating, 1.93% walking bipedally, and 0.11% playing which adds to only 3.37% of the time spent engaging in active

The first topic addressed in this book that I will focus on is the social behavior of apes, specifically on courting rituals and mating behavior, such as the love dance performed by the “humans” in the novel. The second topic is the (in)capability of apes to produce human speech. In the novel, the apes all speak human language, but in reality, this is not a likely possibility.

For example, imitation and teaching explain that chimpanzee’s may watch their mother doing actions academically (problem-solving) she never gives her young enough feedback or just a simple look to reinforce his observation. He concludes by explaining that humans have a preexisting capacity that allows them to represent what they imagine by combining human elements (language) while, animals clearly do not.

“The Monkey’s Paw” by W. W. Jacobs and “The Third Wish” by Joan Aiken are similar stories because of their characters, and contrasting stories because of the wishes. The characters both receive wishes in a similar way, but the main characters use their wishes in different ways.
