In the video "Mozu the Snow Monkey"‚ we are presented to the Japanese Macaque (Macaca fuscata) also known‚ as the Snow Monkey. The Snow monkeys are terrestrial and are also said to be the most northern-living non-human primate. Japanese Macaques have brown grayish fur; a red face; and a short tail. These monkeys are diurnal and spend the majority of their time in the branches of the trees. What I found more interesting about these monkeys is that they are not afraid of the water. Most non-human

When viewing the topic of non-human primate conservation many issues arise as the population is constantly growing and therefore requires more accessible space for building and other land uses. The issue of non-human primate conservation is a large issue in various parts of the developing world‚ as they are home to numerous non-human primates and as the developing the human population is growing and the non-human primate population is decreasing with the decrease in forest area

Through a Window: Comparison of Chimpanzees to Humans Jane Goodall’s book‚ Through a Window: My Thirty Years With The Chimpanzees of Gombe‚ did fantastic work in comparing chimpanzees to humans. There are more similarities than differences when it comes to chimpanzee’s social behavior‚ intellectual ability and even the emotional factors. They behave similarly when it comes to family‚ the bond between the mother and her children and how the siblings interact and influence each other. Although they

Did you know back 2 million years ago hominids had the same traits as us? We all are able to walk on two feet (biped)‚ using our hands (tool making)‚ and communication (language). These are the 3 traits that makes us human. To have bipedalism you have to have the ability to walk upright. According to the text‚ History Alive it states that “As scientists assembled the bones‚ they observed that these hominids (Homo Erectus) stood upright.” This is important because this shows that around two million

Human Evolution‚ lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people evolved over a period of at least 6 million years. A. From Ape To Man Fossils from several different early australopith species that lived between 4 million and 2 million years ago clearly show a variety of adaptations that mark the transition from ape to human. The very early period of this transition‚ prior to 4 million

Reflection Paper: Nature of Human Being‚ Reason for Being I. What is the Nature of Human Being? I was brought up in a small barangay where many people are deprived of decent homes and regular profession to pay for their needs. Only few houses are blessed of having television sets or radios for pastime‚ and it is typical to have a live drama as source of entertainment‚ from a couple who are shouting to and hitting each other‚ or a mother who is scolding her ill-disciplined children.

The African tree toad is mostly found in the central part of Africa‚ the main countries are: Cameroon‚ Equatorial Guinea‚ Gabon‚ Nigeria and Democratic republic of congo. The African tree toad’s habitat must have plentiful water supply for them to survive. In order for all living organisms to survive‚ food must also be available. The Nectophryne afra is a carnivorous amphibian‚ they eat small invertebrates‚ like insects‚ worms and spiders. There

The gorilla is the bulkiest member of the primate family; an adult gorilla may grow up to 1.8m high (although they seldom stand fully upright). There are three species of gorillas recognized worldwide. The most common race‚ the western lowland gorilla is not present in Uganda but an estimated 40000 live in the rainforests of west and central Africa. The endangered eastern lowland gorilla is restricted to patches of forests in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The most threatened specie is the

The Incredible Human Journey Paleontologists believe the entire human race descends from Africa. The earliest human remains were discovered there‚ this is why scientists believe “we are all children of Africa.” Archeologists discovered a human skull that is dated 195 thousand years old. No other remains remotely close to this age have been discovered anywhere else on the planet. Evidence suggests that the first human like species evolved around 400 million years ago from apes eventually evolving
