The Effect Of Eating On The Concentration Of Eating

“In their natural homes in the wild, chimpanzees humans’ closest living genetic relatives”, who are more like us than they’re like gorillas are never separated from their families and troops . “Profoundly social beings, they spend every day together exploring, crafting and using tools to solve problems, foraging, playing, grooming each other, and making soft nests for sleeping each night” . They care deeply for their families and forge lifelong friendships . Chimpanzee mothers are loving and protective, nursing their infants and sharing their nests with them for four to six years . They have excellent memories and share cultural traditions with their children and peers . They empathize with one another and console their friends when they’re upset . They help others, even at a personal cost to themselves . When one of another

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

Where and when did you observe the behaviors? Who made the observations? On 1/28/16, En-Lei observed inside of Chipotle. On 1/29/16 and 1/30/16, Matt observed across the street from Chipotle. On 2/1/16, Dana observed from a window across from Chipotle in the lobby of the Huntington Hall. On 2/2/16, John observed across the street from Chipotle. What behavior categories did you observe? How did you define each behavior category? We observed the outwardly happiness or unhappiness of individuals leaving Chipotle during lunch hours. We defined outwardly happiness as the smiling of each individual leaving Chipotle and unhappiness as the lack of a smile. When and how did you make observations? We used the frequency method of observation during lunchtime

1. The social structure and behavior of chimps in their communities or troops suggest many questions. What research questions might Dr. Hahn and her associates ask?

Chimpanzees (Figure 1) are the closest living relatives to us, and they share 99 percent of our DNA (1). Chimpanzees have distinct group territoriality. Male chimpanzees “patrol” near the boundary between the two ranges, at that time they move very carefully and quietly, and they can cease to listen and observe the range of their neighbors. Patrolling individuals are likely to face cruel and violent

The devastating chimp war played a tremendously crucial part the end of the individual societies. The civil war proceeded in 1974 and raged headlong (PSV) until 1977. (5) While many believe that the cause of it was a feeble rule by Figan, but it does not matter, the ultimate (PQA) result of the war was the destruction of the separate chimp tribes. (1) Figan, who was a power hungry animal, reunited his dominance after the destruction of the tribes. In 1972 10 chimps broke for the rest and went south. (6) It grew. (3) Surprisingly, it soon was a great and powerful society. (2) After the war, as you might expect, small bands of chimps patrol the borders of their lands, looking out for anything or anyone who could be a threat. This was the result

Opening the documentary with scenes of chimpanzees navigating the forest while wielding rudimentary spears is quite frightening. Often, it is thought that humans are the only species on Earth that can make and utilize tools (such as weapons), and that is largely attributed to humans' advanced bipedalism. However, chimps have begun to use stripped down branches that are then sharpened by their teeth to hunt and catch a variety of prey. This means that chimps took distinct steps to create a weapon and conduct a hunt, and that can be related to humans' early ancestors and their rudimentary ways of life. This has major implications for two reasons: the first being that chimps are advancing intellectually and possibly socially as they seem to organize

Since they live among large groups and are very social, they develop bonds with each other. Chimpanzees are known to use tools for their daily activities and the use sticks is to retrieve insects and stones is used to shatter things. Chimpanzees are intelligent primates that use their natural specific behaviors to survive in the wild; therefore keeping them happy in captive can be a difficult task if there is little understanding or knowledge of them by the

This paper is about the book “Mindless Eating” by Brian Wansink. This paper will contain a coversheet, an abstract, a discussion about the book, and a reference page. In this paper I will discuss several things. I will talk about the author and his research into eating and eating habits, the surprises that I had when reading about his research and the contents of the book, a discussion about what intrigued me, who I would recommend this book too, and whether or not reading this book may change the way I eat.

Yerkes, highlights that both chimpanzees and humans are influenced by the public in which they engage characteristics of mingling, ranks and ownership (Glick, 105). Mingling is an important feature because knowing that chimps like to socialize means that they like engaging in conversations and surrounding themselves with others but just like humans without socializing it can have a negative effect on one. Besides socializing also comes with having a leader hence managing the group and making important decisions in the community. These are just some examples of anthropodenial between humans and primates that are

After I conducted the first two hours of research using the Ad libitum sampling method, I had fifty eight different observations for this particular segment. My data is attached to the back of this document, if you wish to read through each of my comments and how often I recorded. To make it easier to read I typed up my observations and data into excel. In order to make it easier to analyze I created a general activity column on my spreadsheet. Which then I used to create a pie chart I called “Ad Libitum Data,” which I used to analyze how Bambio spent her time. During this two hour segment of my observations she spent 17% of the time eating, 22% of the time resting, 38% of the time sleeping, 18% of the time travelling, and 5% doing other behaviors.

During the first week of class, four readings were assigned. One of the readings, “Food and Eating: Some Persisting Questions,” by Sidney Mintz, discusses the paradoxes of food. Although food seems like a straightforward concept, it is actually extremely complicated. According to Mintz, there are five paradoxes, including: the importance of food to one’s survival, yet we take it for granted, how people stick to their foodways, but are willing to change, whether the government should allow people to freely choose food or if they should protect the people through regulations, the difference in food meanings according to gender, and the morality of eating certain foods. All of these paradoxes give people questions to think about, making this an extremely philosophical look at food studies. It also mentions that food must be viewed through the cultural context that it is in, which became important in “The Old and New World Exchange”, by Mintz, and “Maize as a Culinary Mystery”, by Stanley Brandes. These discuss the diffusion of foods after 1492 in different ways. The Mintz reading gives an overview of all of the foods spread from the Americas to the Old World, and vice-a-versa, but does not go terribly in depth on the social changes and effects of specific foods. Brandes focuses on the cultural impact of specifically maize on the European diet, noticing that most Western Europeans shunned it. He studies the cultural implications of this, concluding that maize was not accepted

As well as using a Kvetching technique was also used Eating, which is a separate technique, to encouraged exaggerated facial expressions. Eating is an activity to encourage actors to think about their face as their character. You walk over to your chair in role and sit down to a meal. You have to think about how your character would sit, what they would have for dinner, are they using their hands or a knife and fork, etc. we had to walk across the drama studio as Skinlad and sit down at the dinner table for dinner. During this task I imagined Skinlad going home to find his mother had cooked him chicken. To show the way he ate the chicken I reverted to more animalistic movements such as tearing at the meat with my teeth and then stuffing the

The results of the experimental group (on average 25% increased fat and 35% increased sugar diet) were compared to the control group as well as to the baseline experiment before diet alterations. The experimental rats ate and weighed more than the control rats. The experimental group results were similar to the control group for the object task (Experiment 2 - both variants) but the experimental group scored lower on the place task (Experiment 1 - both variants). The place-task analysis revealed the two groups had same total exploration times but the experimental rats spent less of that time exploring the novel location (lower novelty preference). For the object task, they spent the same total amount of time exploring and similarly divided

Research by Yamamoto, Humle and Tanaka in 2009 concluded that chimpanzees show altruism only when prompted or pressured rather than voluntarily [5]. This particular empirical research challenges the evidence proposed by prior researchers and tests the limits of chimpanzee’s altruistic nature. Using colour-coded tokens, one of which allowed for a partner to share the reward with the test subject and one of which gave the test subject all of the reward, several chimps were tested as to their response. Results showed a tendency for the chimpanzee to take the prosocial option in situations both with and without peer pressure. Abnormally results showed that pressure or harassment from partners reduced the chimpanzee’s inclination to take the prosocial option. Although these results challenge prior research [5] they are limited as they are not conclusive and raise questions of their own to reach a complete understanding. These research results are significant in challenging an already established understanding of chimpanzee’s altruistic traits and acts as a good contrast to other references. This resource stands out as it does not make conclusive statements out of abnormal results but rather opens up a reader’s opinion and presents issues further
