Communication with non-human primates and humans are similar to our culture in some aspects‚ but there also very different areas that aren’t similar to our culture. An example of this would be that chimpanzees‚ bonobos‚ and apes use scent to communicate

Unsurprisingly one animal which communicates in a very similar way to humans is chimpanzees‚ so much so that an area of the brain involved in planning and producing speech‚ and sign language in humans plays a similar role in chimpanzee communication. Another similarity between chimpanzee and humans is the use of body language. Chimpanzees have evolved many facial and body muscles to help them convey messages‚ for example erect hair shows agitation or aggression; grinning portrays fear; prolonged

Birds‚ bees‚ bats‚ apes‚ worms‚ even humans have a communication system. We all share the art of language in one form or another. Some scientists say that language is what sets humans apart from every other species. Other researchers wonder if animals can learn the human language. What sets us apart from animals? What set us apart are the rules and grammars that we human have‚ which makes it not possible for animals to learn the human language. Another factor that contributes to why animals cannot

cannot be compared to humans when finding out what product or drug is competent for humans to use‚ because of differences in hormone and genetic structure. For example‚ thousands of chimpanzees have been used in useless experiments to find a cure for AIDS‚ but it is now known‚ while AIDS kills humans‚ it won’t kill chimpanzees. Otherwise‚ only nine percent of products which are tested on animals actually make it to the market. In addition‚ there are 12 billion dollars have been spent on these tests‚ which

We humans have many questions like‚ what set us toward the path of Humanity. This documentary Homo sapiens‚ the Birth of Humanities gives us the answer to this question and many others. However‚ not only that‚ but also provide us with many facts that we have never known before. The film produces Rift Valley in Africa 2 million years ago‚ where our first ancestors were found.
