Primate Play Analysis

Primates are one of the most interesting mammals on earth, not only because of their complex social structures, but because they hold so many similar characteristics to humans. Primates are often cited as our closest living relatives and on two separate occasions I observed four separate species of primates at the San Diego Zoo that can justify their use of their physical characteristics and behaviors that may be similar as well as different to the other primates and ours.

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

One day, Jürgen Otto was walking in a forest and nearly stepped on a spider. The spider quickly jumped away and Jürgen had never seen a spider that looked like the spider Jürgen had almost stepped on. He looked on the Internet and in books but only found one picture in a book made in the 1970s. He had discovered the new species called the Peacock Spider. “Peacock Spiders are only about 3 millimeters long and are found only in Australia” (Jürgen Otto, 2005). Jürgen now spends over 40 hours a week studying these spiders Jürgen has found and learned to love Peacock Spiders and document their actions and interests. Jürgen has found over 10 new species of spiders for scientists.

However, when looking at their skulls, it was harder than expected. New World monkeys have “3 premolars and 2 or 3 molars” (O’Neil, paragraph 4). The last molar can sometimes be particularly small, or even nonexistent (Lavenda and Schultz, pg 103, Figure 4.6). We noticed that the New World monkey that we examined in class had only 2 molars, and we could clearly identify the 3 premolars. This is different from Old World monkeys, considering they “have 2 premolars and 3 molars” (O’Neil, paragraph 4). It was harder to differentiate the premolars from the molars of the Old World monkey, because most all of their molars were dull. The premolars on the New World monkey were sharper, so that made it a bit easier to distinguish premolars from molars, and therefore easier to differentiate Old World from New World. Through our thorough examination of the detention of the New and Old World monkey, we were able to conclude the true identity of the skulls.

Primates are considered to be the closest relative to humans and are often classified together under the Hominidae family. It was thought that humans were the superior group because they were able to make and use tools but it was discovered by Jane Goodall that Primates are able to make and use tools as well. Within the subject of primatology, we will be looking the different techniques used during primate toolmaking and some of the uses for the tools made by primates. We will also be looking at three different research studies focusing on mandrills, chimpanzees and capuchins which will give us a better understanding of how primates make tools. By studying this, we can learn about our close ancestors and how they are able to create and use

One day while I was hunting, I met a man named Orion who had two dogs with him. Their names were Canis Major and Canis Minor. We became close friends. We hunted and were always together. My brother Apollo had grown jealous of our relationship. One night, Orion dreamed of a scorpion that had skin that couldn’t be pierced. He fought it all night, and before he could get stabbed in the heart he awoke. When he got out of his house, he saw the same scorpion in his dream. He started fighting the scorpion, and had ended up having to jump into the sea to try and escape it. Meanwhile, Apollo had told me that a man named Candaeon had sexually assaulted one of my maids. He told me that the man was trying to escape by swimming across the sea. In fury,
