Humans share 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees and bonobos. Chimps are more violent while bonobos don’t fight as much as they enjoy other activities like sex. It makes one wonder whether or not humans are chimpanzees or bonobos. “...it’s easy to see the similarities between an organized chimp ambush and our own guerilla warfare practices‚” (Grant 3). While that is true‚ one has to also look at other aspects of human history

between chimpanzees and bonbons may seem petite‚ but they are not as similar as people may think. The differences like their diet‚ socialization within each species‚ and population really divides their species. Other things like the chimpanzees and bonobos facial and body features also give a viewer an understanding of their differences. When it comes to the bonobo’s diet‚ they do not eat meat. Chimpanzees‚ however‚ do. The two monkey’s diets are relatively close‚ but there are significant differences

What accounts for these differences? The social organization of baboons is one of the most intensely studied of the primates. There is only one defined level of social organization in savanna baboons‚ the stable group of several

Congratulations: You are an ape. A "great ape‚" technically. Alongside us in this brainy family of animals are four other living species: chimpanzees‚ gorillas‚ orangutans‚ and bonobos (formerly called "pygmy chimpanzees"). The biological gap between us and our great ape cousins is small. At last count‚ only 1.23 percent of our genes differ from those of chimpanzees. But mentally‚ the gap between us and them is a Grand Canyon. On an average day in the life of the human species‚ we file thousands

What are the major groups of primates? I thought that this question was very interesting because primates are the closest living relatives to humans. Primates are fascinating because they resemble a primitive or basal version of ourselves and at the same time are also quite different from us as well. There is a large number of primate species both in the African and Asian continents as well as in the Americas. Those species that are found in Africa and Asia are collectively called old world

Sue Savage-Rumbaugh conducted research on bonobos‚ a species of ape that is similar to a chimpanzee and closely related to humans. Kanzi and Mulika are two chimps that were studied during this research. With no training‚ these chimps acquired meanings of plastic symbols by observing other humans and bonobos using them. Kanzi and Mulika were able to understand spoken English and basic commands. For example‚ when Sue would tell
