Hominidae

A significantly enlarged brain size is one of the main features distinguishing modern humans from other hominids. Humans are unrivalled in both their cognitive and linguistic capabilities, and since an expanded brain appears to be correlated with intelligence (Darwin, 1871), it is not surprising that the evolution of modern humans was believed to be the result of increased brain size and complexity. However, the fossil evidence has revealed that an increased brain size evolved only after the evolution

Animals, they are an important part of life and our society. Yet, they do not have their own Bill of Rights. Some may believe that they do not need one, but when you look at how intelligent many of them are, it is difficult to believe that they are not just as deserving as one as us. Without one, a lot of animals are legally abused and put in deplorable conditions. Animals need a BoR because, much like humans, they have emotions, experience pain, and many are currently treated deplorably, however

In “War for the Planet of the Apes”—the third and supposedly last installment in 20th Century Fox’s rebooted “Planet of the Apes” franchise—Woody Harrelson’s character, known only as ‘The Colonel,’ is trying to build a massive wall in preparation for an attack by another military faction. He has captured almost all of the apes from Caesar’s colony and uses them as a source of slave labor. When the apes aren’t toiling, they are corralled into a pen in shackles, with the adults separated from the children

On a trip to San Diego Zoo on March 23, I learned about the variety of primate species. Three species that will be analyzed here are the Wolf’s Guenons, the Mandrills, and the Siamangs. Wolf’s Guenons, Old World monkeys, are found at south of Africa’s Congo River. Their habitat is forests, woodlands, near rivers and streams. They have a unique way of jumping from tree to tree: they aim at the center of dense clump of foliage and leap. When they land, they scramble through the branches and find a

Artificial intelligence is giving us everything we could ever want, at the same time stealing everything we really need. Over the past few years, artificial intelligence has proven it existence vital in our daily lives i.e. makes our lives much easier by performing complex operations at the same time it reduces our life span, hence it encourages laziness. Artificial intelligence What is Artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence refers to the worldliness and productiveness of non-human machines

The technology that is revealed by science fiction stories gives us the ability to change how we define a human being and it also draws a thin line which makes it difficult for us to differentiate the between a human and a robot. The Science fiction stories focus more on defining humanity and the way in which the human race is changing drastically through science and technology. In this essay I will substantiate on why the machines have a positive impact on the human society, the consequences of

Animals do not really understand human language. To animals, it is like performing a specific action for a specific command. In this paper, through a widely popular example, I would like to argue that, although animals have their own language and seem to understand human language, in reality, animals do not really understand human language. Koko (born July 4, 1971), a female western gorilla, was known for having learned signs from an adjusted version of American Sign Language. Her instructor and

‘Rejection of Anthropocentrism’ in Select Poems of Robinson Jeffers Ms. D. Nivethitha, II M.A. English Literature, Avinashilingam University for Women, Coimbatore The concept of Anthropocentrism is deep rooted in the very nature of human beings and can be seen even in the primitive ages when the humans are believed to have lived in unison with nature. Even in that period their harmonious relationship with the non-human natural world existed as a sort of necessity for their survival and not out of

There is plenty of evidence about the strange creatures in the world, but perhaps the most well known is Bigfoot. This creature has been sighted in the United States region. Bigfoot has been described as a cross between a gorilla and a human that stands in the ranges of seven to fifteen feet tall. This creature is described as being covered from head to toe with long reddish-brown fur. Bigfoot is real, due to the many sighting, photographs, videos, and evidence leading to his existence. The most
