The question shakes us all to our very souls. For humans to consider the cloning of one another forces them all to question the very concepts of right and wrong that make them all human. The cloning of any species‚ whether they be human or non-human‚ is ethically and morally wrong.

No direct conclusions have been drawn

Evolution of human intelligence The evolution of human intelligence refers to a set of theories that attempt to explain how human intelligence has evolved. These theories are closely tied to the evolution of the human brain and to the emergence of human language. The timeline of human evolution spans approximately 7 million years‚[citation needed] from the separation of the Pan genus until the emergence of behavioral modernity by 50‚000 years ago. The first 3 million years of this timeline

little shorter and thinner than the common chimpanzee but has longer limbs. Both species use their long‚ powerful arms for climbing in trees. On the ground‚ chimpanzees usually walk on all fours using their knuckles for support with their hands clenched‚ a form of locomotion called knuckle-walking. Chimpanzee feet are better suited for walking than are those of the orangutan because the chimp’s soles are broader and the toes shorter. Both the common chimpanzee and bonobo can walk upright on two legs

KB1309FD4722 CHIMPANZEE INTRO Chimpanzees‚ sometimes colloquially Chimps‚ are two extant hominid species of apes in the genus Pan. The Congo River divides the native habitats of the two species. Chimpanzees are members of the family Hominidae‚ along with gorillas‚ humans‚ and orangutans. Chimpanzees split from the human branch of the family about four to six million years ago. Chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to humans‚ being members of the tribe Hominini. CHIMPANZEE INTELLIGENCE
