The Hominidae include orangutans‚ gorillas‚ chimpanzees‚ bonobos and humans.[1][2] Alternatively‚ the family are collectively described as the great apes.[3][4][5][6] There are two extant species in the orangutan genus (Pongo)‚ two species in the gorilla genus‚ and a single extant species Homo sapiens in the human genus (Homo). Chimpanzees and bonobos are closely related to each other and they represent the two species in the genus Pan. Members

Animal Testing Gandhi remarks‚ “The greatness of a nation and it’s moral progress can be judged by the way it’s animals are treated.” Unfortunate animals everyday are getting poked and prodded in labs for human benefits. Animals are used to test many products‚ and the results aren’t always reliable. So how should people trust these experiments and the results they give? Unreliably Predict Results Animal tests do not reliably predict results that are what should be a benefit for human life. It

Background Information: Scientists have found that almost all living organisms have a gene that codes for a protein called Cytochrome C. This protein is important in releasing energy from food. Scientists study similarities such as the gene that codes for Cytochrome C in hopes to learn more about the universal genetic code and the relationship between living organisms on Earth. Procedure: The charts below lists a portion of the amino acids found in the Cytochrome C protein of several different organisms

Characteristics like culture‚ speech‚ communication‚ having social classes would which may have been thought to unique to humans have also seen done by other primates. Humans may have been considered unique once upon a time‚ but now were closer to our primate relatives than ever.

Christians believe that the world was created by God in seven days while scientists believe in the Big Bang Theory.

4 Minute Speech against animal testing We should stop the use of animals for research and testing purposes. Animal research/testing refers to the use of non-human animals for testing or experimenting on. The use of animals for testing is used in the fields of: Biomedical research‚ security‚ evaluation‚ and education of a product. Every year animals are subject to experiments so painful and damaging that no one would ever do them on humans. Deciding whether or not to do animal testing is a

Imagine being isolated in a small cage and being tested on with nothing to help the pain‚ that’s what lab animals go through every day. We have been testing on animals since the early 1900’s‚ but it’s time we put down the scalpel and put away the cages. In today’s time we have the technology to test on computerized patient simulators that are more accurate than animals. Animals don’t have a choice to be experimented on‚ and humans need to help stop that. Animal testing should be illegal because it

What organisms besides humans may use tools? Chimpanzees and other apes. 7. Why did “homo ergaster” not advance in human terms? Their brain didn’t work like ours. He had a medium size brain. 8.

coprophagia‚ eating own feces and self-mutilation. For example‚ a PLoS ONE study was carried out which suggests that many chimpanzees who are kept in zoos show some very abnormal behaviour which subsequently suggests mental illness. The behaviours mentioned before are usually associated with recognizing some mental illnesses in humans‚ and aren’t really seen in wild chimpanzees. Nicholas Newton-Fisher‚ the co-author of the study‚ says that the abnormal behaviour and mental issues are usually only

According to Rilling (2014)‚ understanding the evolution of the unique characteristics of the human brain requires studying the brain of other living primate species. In other words‚ a specific evolutionary change in the human brain cannot be inferred to be unique to the human lineage unless other species sharing a last common ancestor don’t have it. That being said‚ Rilling emphasizes the role of comparative neuroimaging to investigate the similarities and differences between human and non-human
