The Hundredth Monkey Experiment: The Perfect Relationship

Harry Harlow (1905-1981) was an American Psychologist who studied monkeys and their behavior. His research paved the way to a better understanding of human behavior. Dr. Harlow’s research also helped to better understand the psychology of children. This essay will discuss Dr. Harlow’s background, education, social influence, historical significance, and major contributions in the study of psychology.

Ever since science began to explain the previously unexplainable, it has caused conflicts with religion. The Scopes “Monkey” Trial of Dayton, Tennessee was one of the most talked about trials in history because it was one of the first and most publicized times that this conflict occurred. The trial showed the schism between the faithful fundamentalists and the newly formed group of evolutionists. Although the jury was reminded that they only had to decide if Scopes had broken the law, the verdict was seen as much more than that. For one of the first times in history, it seemed as if the jury had to choose either religion or evolution. For the time being, there could not be both. The Scopes “Monkey” Trial revealed the ongoing conflict with

In the documentary "Ape Genius", researchers conducted a series of experiments to determine the social and intellectual capabilities of chimps and bonobos. Describe two of these experiments (the procedure, the subject and observations) and the conclusions that were drawn from them. In your opinion, are these experiments, proof of the inferior or superior intelligence of apes compared to humans? Explain.

The captivity of primates in zoos can be viewed as maltreatment by animal welfare organizations since confining them in such establishments is going against their rights to be liberated and it may cause some unwanted stress, yet zoos provide various enrichment programs, medicinal assistance, scheduled meals that are appropriate for the primate’s diet, and conservation of the said animal. Primate captivity in zoos can be regarded as both moral and unethical for it imprisons primates, however, as their natural habitat dwindles, zoos also preserve primate population through captive breeding. Furthermore, zoos simultaneously deform the lives of the primates, garner sympathetic reactions from humans for these creatures, and inform

Each year the United States makes many advances in the way life is lived and saw the world. During this year many things changed and developed as every year does because new things are discovered and observed. Over the course of one year many new ideas and thoughts were put on the table which lead to court cases, new plans, and new literature.

In the middle of the twentieth century, Harry and Margaret Harlow began to study the effects of body contact in terms of developmental attachment. Their breakthrough experiments involved infant monkeys separated from their mother near birth and raised in cages with two surrogate mothers: one a wire cylinder and the other wrapped in terry cloth. After varying such details as location of the feeding bottle, rocking, and warmth, the Harlows were startled to find that the monkeys bonded much more closely to the cloth mother, regardless of whether or not "she" provided the food. (Myers, 2011, pp. 149-151). In parallel to Harlow's monkeys was Victor, found in the forests of France in 1800, when he became the first feral child to be successfully restored to society as well as scientifically studied by Parisian doctor Jean Marc Itard. Followed by children of many ages hailing from the abandoned flats of the Ukraine to the urbanized and bustling streets of Los Angeles, CA, feral children were defined by their lack of human care, usually because of abusive or irresponsible parents. Such isolation from their own society often resulted in resorting to animals, especially dogs, for love and warmth, and to wild, abnormal behavior. None were able to completely and certainly bounce back from their cruel circumstances, a fact shown in their lack of humanity, as Itard defined it, in one of two areas: emotional empathy or liguistic communication.

The Scopes Trial, or the “Monkey Trial,” took place in 1925, and focused on a man named John T. Scopes. This man broke a law stated in the Butler Act, by teaching students about the Theory of Evolution written by Charles Darwin. Since informing kids the “human” evolved over time from a monkey to a person, was information against or denying what was written in the Holy Bible, many people believed that it was wrong and inhumane. Though, Clarence Darrow brought up this was unconstitutional and restricting the first amendment, which included the Freedom of Religion. Unfortunately Darrow didn’t portray his ideas enough, because the trial ended with William Jenning Bryan (the opposing attorney) winning, and Scopes being charged a $100 fine. Over

During the 1960s, you created various controversial experiments regarding the basis of love and affection by showing the catastrophic effects of depriving young monkeys from their mothers. Your experiments were quite unethical and devastatingly cruel, but overall it gave science a fundamental base for understanding child development. In your experiment you constructed two surrogate mothers, one made out of wire who dispensed milk, and the other who was also made out of wire but covered with soft terry cloth. Your observation was that the young monkeys would choose the cloth mother over the mother who provided food, but my question to you is why, instead of using primates, why did you not use less complex organisms? And if you had already collected

Religion and science both face off in ¨The Scopes ‘Monkey’ Trial,” the case that America went “bananas” over. Two men duel to prove their points about evolution and whether it defies state laws or not. The conflict of John T. Scopes defying the Butler Act, an act prohibiting public school teachers from denying Biblical accounts of man’s origin, was temporarily resolved with Scopes being fined, but this compromise was not entirely settled until the Butler Act was repealed years later.

This experiment can be related to humans due to the fact that monkeys and apes are very similar, biologically, to humans which

If you want to find the golden snub nosed monkey, then go to montane forest of central China or northern Vietnam. Thats where the monkey usually live according to this article. Depending the season you want to go to visit. The best time to visit would be summer because it’s 77 degree fatherinent if you like to be warm. In Winter, its below zero degree fatherinent and its same cold weather as if you're living in Antarctica. Since the monkeys are covered with golden coat fur, they can live through winter season and even summer season. They are not that difficult find with pale blue face and it’s only animal that you see in orange red fur. It usually change weather based on the season, “where the temperature drops below freezing in winter and

I believe that what is at work in the extra credit about the cage and the five monkeys is obedience. The new monkeys do not know why they don't reach for the bananas but they still follow that rule because it is something that has always been done. The monkeys do not question this rule, they just follow it. Sometimes we follow rules without knowing their purporse or meanings.
