Ebola disease is a devastating illness‚ with at least 6 random outbreaks in the past decade in Africa‚ killing not only people but also a large number of gorillas‚ which threatens the species into extinction. The mystery surrounding Ebola has grown because the disease often fails to appear for years‚ sometimes even decades‚ and then suddenly breaks out in seemingly aimless areas(“Ebola threatens Apes in Africa” http://www.terradaily.com/reports/Ebola_Threatens_Apes_In_Africa.html).

not testing apes‚ then they would be testing other animals which other people would also fight against. Scientists perform tests on these apes for one very important reason‚ “98.4 percent of the DNA in chimpanzees (and 97.7 percent of the DNA in gorillas) is identical to the DNA of human beings.” This proves that there is no better animal to conduct tests and experiments than apes because their genetic similarities. This means their reactions‚ results‚ and the effects will most likely be similar

Carol Ann Duffy’s ’Queen Kong [From the world’s wife‚ 1998]’‚ is the feminine version of the American blockbuster movie king Kong‚ where a giant gorilla kidnaps a beautiful model whom he is fond of and climbs the empire state building with. However‚ Duffy’s version has switched up the roles‚ where the gorilla is now a woman‚ and the man who she kidnaps is referred to as ’the little man’ who she is very much in love with.

Most of h is examples aren’t backed up by well thought evidence. Rifkin used Koko‚ a gorilla‚ as an example saying that animals can be intelligent as well (8). He said Koko scored around a 70~90 points on an IQ test. But this doesn’t prove all animals are smart. Since gorillas‚ apes‚ and humans are somewhat related‚ gorillas have a high chance of having a similar brain structure as humans‚ which allow gorillas to have the ability to understand and learn similarly to us. Therefore‚ I don’t think

The study of primatology is present in this movie‚ because Dr. Powell is shown several times living with the mountain gorillas. He gains their trust by adapting to the way they live and interact. I think a little bit of cultural anthropology is also present because although he is studying primates‚ I believe they have a culture and Dr. Powell has adapted to their nature. The second
