If this were true‚ then perhaps big-headed people wouldn’t be so pea-brained. This question is mired in many unknowns. For one‚ scientists still debate over the definition of intelligence. For any IQ definition‚ how do you measure it? Further‚ do differences in IQ show up in daily life? And finally‚ does more brain tissue or a heftier brain equate with higher IQ? One thing scientists do agree on: A big brain alone doesn’t equate with smarts. If it did‚ elephants and sperm whales would win all

important role in early human development. A remarkable number of personal characteristics are already determined by the genetic structure of the fertilized ovum. Our genes program our growing cells so that we develop into a person rather than a fish or chimpanzee. They decide our sex‚ the color of our skin‚ eyes‚ and hair and general body size‚ among other things. These genetic determinants are expressed in development through the process of maturation-innately determined sequences of growth and change that

In 1966‚ professors at the University of Nevada‚ Beatrix and R. Allen Gardner wanted to discover a way for animals to communicate better with humans. They thought the best animal for this would be a chimpanzee. The Gardners bought a chimp and named her Washoe. After being with Washoe for a while‚ and doing many experiments to try to communicate with her‚ they decided that ASL would be the best way to communicate (Patent 116). In A little over four years‚ Washoe used one hundred thirty-two signs

Darwin used all of these converging lines of evidence to conclude that humans were most closely related to the African apes‚ the gorilla and the chimpanzee which all of three animals are the common ancestor would be found in Africa. Darwin thought that humans were members of the same species and shared common ancestry. He also believed that humans in each race had a different ideal of beauty which

The two philosophers I explained above comes from both sides of the argument. Lori Gruen perspective shows how animals are sentimental and have interest and well-beings. On the other hand‚ Rene Descartes believes animals lack a mind and soul and you cannot harm them because they don’t possess thoughts and feelings. Although‚ both Lori and Rene share the same passion they do not come across the same conclusion. If I was to ask them a series of questions on animal ethics there answers would be completely

work is arguable he did make an impact by proving apes can problem solve‚ helping form a branch of psychology called Gestalt‚ and showing that animals can see the relationship between stimuli. Kohler studied chimpanzees from 1913 to 1917. His chimpanzee named Sultan was one of his test subjects and Sultan and other chimpanzees would have to figure out problems that Kohler presented them to reach the reward or food. He proved that chimpanzees can problem solve by giving them to short sticks that
