1. In the C.L Cannon‚ it explains anthropomorphism and its attempt to explain the animals behavioral and psychological processes that is similar to that of humans. Few researchers favor using the notions of anthropomorphism‚ whereas others believe that it should be avoided simply because there is not scientific system attached to it. These opposing views can be displayed in Griffen (1984) and Wynne (2004). There was a century long silence with anthropomorphism‚ until Donald Griffen resurrected

1) Which primate species did you choose (common [English] name)? I choose the Bonobo. They were formerly called the pygmy chimpanzee. 2) What is its scientific (Latin‚ binomial) genus and species name? Species: Pan paniscus - Genus: Pongo 3. Is this a prosimian‚ New World monkey‚ Old World monkey‚ or ape? (for this‚ you’ll have to read ch. 5 and learn what those categories mean). Since Old World Monkeys’ are associated with Africa and Asia‚ the Bonobo would fall into this category. There are

On February 16‚ 2009 a 15 year old chimpanzee named Travis mauled its owner’s friend as she was coming for a visit. The police were called when the chimpanzee even went so far as to attack the police which forced them to shoot the animal several times before the animal finally stopped fighting. (Howard) This is just one of many examples of why these animals are not made to be in a domesticated environment. People have been trying to own exotic or wild animals as pets for a very long time‚ and some

and others’ actions by reference to mental states‚ such as ‘desiring’‚ ‘knowing’ and ‘believing’. INTRODUCTION The expression ‘theory of mind’ (ToM) was introduced into psychology by David Premack and Guy Woodruff in 1978. Asking‚ ‘Does the chimpanzee have a theory of mind?’‚ they described experiments to assess whether the primate most closely related to us shares our tendency to interpret others’ actions by attributing to them ‘states of mind’ (or ‘mental states’). Premack and Woodruff referred

Name: Mr. G Class: Sociology Date: 10/06/2013 Topic: “Is culture unique to humans?” Question 1. What do chimpanzee and orangutan cultures have in common with human culture? Give examples of specific behaviors. Answer 1. These cultures are common because both have tool use‚ complex grooming and courtship. For example‚ young chimpanzees are taught how to crack nuts and when they run into technical problems the mother is always there to help them. This is quite like how humans would react.

Using tools has been interpreted as a sign of intelligence‚ and it has been theorized that tool use may have stimulated certain aspects of human evolution-most notably the continued expansion of the human brain. Paleontology has yet to explain the expansion of this organ over millions of years despite being extremely demanding in terms of energy consumption. The brain of a modern human consumes about 20 Watts (400 kilocalories per day)‚ which is one fifth of the energy consumption of a human body

Primate Behavior The animal that most resembles us is the ape. At the zoo‚ it is easy to observe behavioral and facial expressions in monkeys and apes that are very much similar to our own. A group of apes could very well seem like a family. A mother taking care of her young may seem familiar to the human onlooker. This is because the ape is our closest living relative. In the documentary Primate Behavior‚ anthropologists observe the behavior of monkeys and primates. The primates are mostly observed
