1 Animal Rights Animal welfare has become a controversial topic throughout our society. Many peoples concerns about animal welfare has a lot to do with the advancements in science and in technology and how they are affecting the way we are treating the animals. The issue of animal experimentation is a widely debated topic in the United States. A fundamental question of this ongoing debate is whether the functions of animal testing and research are morally and ethically justified. In a proresearch community view

animals like Dr. Doolittle.” Obviously you can tell from this quote that Jane Goodall was very passionate about animals. She was an ethologist‚ which is a person who studies the behavior of animals‚ and more specifically a primatologist. She studied chimpanzees in Africa and made ground breaking discoveries about the similarities between primates and humans. So in a nutshell‚ the research of Jane Goodall was revolutionary and it changed the way that we view ourselves. Before she was conducting powerful

or bonobo. (Waal 6) During the Pleistocene epoch approximately 1.5 million years ago‚ the Congo River was formed in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. (San Diego Zoo 2) The river geographically segregated groups and individual chimpanzees south of the river resulting in these chimps being reproductively isolated. Allopatric speciation took place as a response to new selective pressures and from this separated population a new species evolved‚ the bonobo. (Jurmain 121) Today the

38.8 weeks in 2004 (Australia’s Babies. ABS 2010). Compared with chimpanzees and gorillas‚ this is a relatively short incubation period. Even though a longer period is desirable for prenatal development‚ there are many risks involved in child birth today and therefore there are a number of reasons why our species cannot afford the extra time in incubation‚ nor can we afford for the incubation period to be anything less. Chimpanzees’ offspring are born with 45-50% brain development‚ while human infants
