The difference 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

the overall impact of humans on apes. To provide more accurate results‚ the less social behavior of gorillas compared to chimpanzees should be taken into account because it could affect the reactions and explain possible differences in gorilla and chimpanzee reactions. Another factor to consider is that some animals prefer some areas and avoid others regardless of the size of the crowd which could explain differences in PVZ use.

and Bever argued that the apes in the language experiments were not using language spontaneously but were merely imitating their trainers‚ responding to conscious or unconscious cues. Terrace and his colleagues at Columbia University had trained a chimpanzee‚ Nim‚ in American Sign Language‚ so their skepticism about the apes’ abilities received much attention.

Finding of Lucy Lucy was a 3.2 million old Australopithecus Afarensis skeleton to ever be found. She was found in Ethiopia on November 24 1974. They first spotted the forearm bone and then they found some other parts of her body as well. Only 40% of her bones have been found yet. Lucy’s discovery is very important to the world because it shows everybody how their ancestors might have looked in the past. It is also important because it helps us understand our past and where we came from

from the Hominidae family.[3] Bipedalism is the basic adaption of the Hominin line‚ and the earliest bipedal Hominin is considered to be either Sahelanthropus or Orrorin‚ with Ardipithecus‚ a full bipedal‚ coming somewhat later. The gorilla and chimpanzee diverged around the same time‚ about 4-6 million years ago‚ and either Sahelanthropus or Orrorin may be our last shared ancestor with them. The early bipedals eventually evolved into the australopithecines and later the genus Homo.Human evolution
