Bonobos are one of the few primates that like to hunt and track smaller mammals including pygmy antelope and other small rabbits. Bonobos are very talented climbers and great at swinging from vines. Most Bonobos have their first kids at the age of 13-15 year of age. After their first

of interest to a psychology student and why I believe that eye-tracking technology will be a major part of dog research soon. Dogs in research Without batting an eye, most people acknowledge that comparative research is conducted with non-human primates. Yet, these people raise their eyebrows when they hear that the very same is done with dogs. It has become common knowledge that our closest relatives stem from the species of the Great Apes (Prüfer et al., 2012). This, however, mainly refers to

generalization for primates) through their behavior/play patterns. They pull this connection because kids who are bouncing off the walls seem uncivilized and unmannered like that of monkeys. At face value, it may seem like an ignorant joke, a connection that is circumstantial and ironic. However, these connections are revealed to be legitimate and unnervingly accurate--even when children are not being rambunctious. Kids, in particular, very blatantly portray behaviors of actual primates--Chimpanzees especially

Charles Darwin stated that the evolution of man would take not thousands of years but millions of years. In the case of the human species (Homo sapien) evolutionary theory posits that this has been the case. Human evolution begins with the primate lineage which also includes new and old world monkeys, and apes (Phelan, 2015). It is important to note that researchers have determined that the chimpanzee is the humans closest living relative. While, humans and chimpanzees have similar genetic and anatomical

distribution. Although Gombe National Park is a protected area, destruction of the forest around the area still occurs. Thus causing chimpanzees to flee into the already over populated national park, creating inter community aggression among these primates. By 1991 29% of the forest and woodland cover had been converted to farmlands, and by 2003 more than 50% of chimpanzee habitat adjacent to GNP had

Behavioral modernity is a suite of behavioral and cognitive traits that differentiate current Homo sapiens from other hominins and primates. Hominin is a group consisting of modern humans, extinct human species and all our ancestors including Australopithecus, panarthropods and Ardipithecus. There are several factors which help us distinguish between Homo Sapiens and Hominins. The real question is, what makes us human? Brain, skulls, and childhood dependency makes us different. “Brain size has increased

movie, because Dr. Powell is shown several times living with the mountain gorillas. He gains their trust by adapting to the way they live and interact. I think a little bit of cultural anthropology is also present because although he is studying primates, I believe they have a culture and Dr. Powell has adapted to their nature. The second important character in this movie is Dr. Theo Caulder, a psychologist. The first sub field of psychology that is present in this movie is cognitive psychology

In this different group of primates is been observed that tarsiers are involved in infanticide to. There are many explanations that have been discussed to explain this behavior. One of them is that some organisms recurred to kill infants for nutritive purposes. Another factor is that some animals will the new born just to eliminate the completion for food u other resources. Scientist also explains that male tarsiers will engage in infanticide to gain reproductive advantages killing babies that are
