The origin of the disease is believed to be in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where people hunted infected chimpanzees for meat and became infected themselves when they came into contact with the chimpanzee blood(Where did HIV come from?‚ 2012). Aids affected many cities all over the world. San Francisco was hit hardest by the virus because of its prominent gay population. Casual sex in bathhouses made the disease spread even faster in San Francisco

many similar characteristics because they went through a process that they called evolution. This is the process in which some primates evoluted into what is know a human being and preserved several similar characteristics. It is now known that the chimpanzee is the closest primate to humans since they have a similar protein sequence. Yet since they have a lot of differences‚ still they are considered non humans. One similarity between humans and primates is that their skeletal system looks almost

To what extent we can say animals have language? Are animals capable of language? It is in the opinion of the author that animals do not have the capability of language; this essay will focus and put forward the evidence as to why this opinion takes place. Language is a form of communication; it can be visual‚ audio or sensory. In humans the vocal language provides only 10 per cent of how we communicate‚ body language plays a much higher role‚ however‚ both verbal and non verbal language in humans

All living organisms are similar genetically‚ for example‚ a human could be 99.5% similar to a chimpanzee and 5% genetically similar to a frog. 2. Based on the amino acid sequence data for the Cytochome-C protein‚ chimpanzees and humans share an identical coding sequence. What other species identified on the chart has a coding sequence that is most

Trial and error is an experimental method of problem solving‚ repair‚ tuning‚ or obtaining knowledge. "Learning doesn’t happen from failure itself but rather from analyzing the failure‚ making a change‚ and then trying again." This approach can be seen as one of the two basic approaches to problem solving and is contrasted with an approach using insight and theory. However‚ there are intermediate methods which for example‚ use theory to guide the method‚ an approach known as guided empiricism.
