between humans and other primates. This discovery convinced several scientists to reconsider their definition of the term "human". I was also able to personally observe as these primates are able to fish for termites using sticks made from branches, as apes and chimpanzees are able to find ways to get food that would otherwise have been

Did you know that chimpanzees are 98.5 % human? Everyone usually thinks chimpanzees are monkeys, but they are actually apes. Chimpanzees act more like human than apes. Chimpanzees are very aggressive because they have to always be aware of their surroundings. Male chimpanzees usually weigh 40-60 pound and females usually weigh 27-50 pounds. You might think they are small because they don’t weigh that much but when you see one in person they look huge and mean.The chimpanzee is interesting because

Primates come from the order of mammals and are defined based on the morphology of the group of animals. Morphology is the branch of biology that concerns the study of the structures and forms of various organisms based on their structural features. The study involves both the internal and external primary functions of the structures of an organism including the parts. According to the identification of primate’s family they are divided based on the generalized and the specialized features of the

America, they are different because chimpanzee cohabitant with species of their kind and or any different species of monkey, where as spider monkey's only cohabitat with of their own species. Also a chimpanzee is an ape and a Spider does not.(an ape is the same as a monkey, but an ape does not have a tail)There are more similarities and differences between spider monkey's and chimpanzees as you read on. Both spider monkeys and chimpanzees are on the endangered species list. Spider monkeys are on the

Asian falls. The primate world was started in the year 1992 and occupies a 2.5-acre land. At the zoo, I got to observe a group of monkeys as well as a set of gorillas. Fort Worth Zoo is the exclusive Zoo in Texas to accommodate members of the four Ape kinds. These four groups are the gorillas, orangutans, bonobos and chimpanzees. I also noted that Fort Worth Zoo is the leading zoo internationally in preserving the Asian elephant and harbours two rhino species that are in danger of poaching, that

reasonable to say that primates posses a form of culture. Primates have been observed making tools to aid in collecting food and developing communication system, both of which are learned behaviors.      It is common in monkeys, apes and humans that behavior and social organization aren’t necessarily programmed into the genes. There have been several cases where an entire troop has learned from the experiences of just a few. In a group of Japanese macaques, for example, a three-year-old

ones that are involved in the homicides, massacres, terrorism, and human violence. Like humans, chimpanzees also engage in rape, murders, and violence. The patterns of violence that is found among the humans are compared and contrasted with the great ape species. Whether it is for food/resource sharing, dominance structure, territory or the male competition for sexual access to females. Both human and chimpanzee want to prove their status what becomes a reason for a great number of wars and aggressiveness

In this monograph The Gibbons of Khao Yai, Thad Q Bartlett records all of his own notes about the small apes, also known as the gibbons, in their own natural habitat in the national park of Khao Yai, Thailand. Before he wrote this book, primatologists had hypothesized about a correlation between territoriality and monogamy in the gibbons and believed that it was due to the small fruiting trees and figs. Bartlett had taken an interest in the gibbons, and made a goal to contradict this hypothesis by

have to consider now is the possibility that the origins of spoken language are not exclusively human…” Through this statement, we can see that this discovery with Rocky may indicate that the origins of spoken language could have begun by the great apes. There is no definite answer to whether or not the spoken language did start with monkeys. However, I believe that this could be a possibility.

groups. The first main group are the Strepsirrhini’s, also called prosimians and include, Lemurs, Lorises and Galago’s. The second main group of primates are called haplorrhines and include, monkeys, apes, and humans The Strepsirrhini group are “more primitive than other primates such as monkeys and apes.” (3). Lemurs have olfactory communication, have stink and spur fights. Lorises are known for their “nocturnal behavior and are extremely slow in locomotion”. (3). Galago’s also called bush babies
