Congratulations: You are an ape. A "great ape‚" technically. Alongside us in this brainy family of animals are four other living species: chimpanzees‚ gorillas‚ orangutans‚ and bonobos (formerly called "pygmy chimpanzees"). The biological gap between us and our great ape cousins is small. At last count‚ only 1.23 percent of our genes differ from those of chimpanzees. But mentally‚ the gap between us and them is a Grand Canyon. On an average day in the life of the human species‚ we file thousands

I’d been thinking it would be fun because I would have someone I can could play with aside from my siblings and saw myself on my twin as my alter ego. Then I realized that it won’t be possible. Nowadays‚ with our modern technologies‚ the impossible turn possible; a pen with video camera‚ a rechargeable car

(Martel 29) In the same way‚ Pi’s father took this to a whole level when he painted on a wall by the entrance of the zoo a question that was memorable to all visitors: “DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO?” An arrow was pointing to a curtain. When visitors will reveal what’s behind the curtain‚ it was a mirror. (Martel 31) This is quite interesting the way Pi’s father revealed

In the passage of The Case for the Personhood of Gorillas‚ the authors‚ Francine Patterson and Wendy Gordon make exceptionally compelling arguments as to why animals like gorillas should be considered to be more than just animals. In this passage‚ they inform the reader about a certain gorilla named Koko‚ as well as her eighteen year old son named Michael. Both of these Gorillas have expressed certain elements and features that were once upon a time thought to be exclusive to humans and humans alone

“…the Romantic allegory presents a “return journey” undertaken through – and ultimately transformative of – the perception of the protagonist‚ whose sublime encounter with metatemporal Nature presents the possibility of a purely spiritual becoming which is also a homecoming.” (Rowe‚ 56) Kubrick as a director and writer‚ does not convey meaning and emotion through the traditional senses‚ but rather uses allegory and metaphor within films to provide a baseline for meaning. This implicit nature is what

Blue Whales: Smarter Than You If you were to step past a worm on the sidewalk would the worm even know what you are or even that you stepped right past it? The idea is to first: prepare your mind to understand what I’m about to share; and second to show that it is very possible for a more intelligent species to be hidden right beneath our noses. If the blue whale has the ability to feel more‚ love more and understand one another better than humans can; one could only wonder what else they can do

We were given eight different skulls and we were required to take measurements and notes on each one‚ such as recording the maximum braincase length or determining if the specimen has a chin. With these detailed notes‚ we researched various skulls and matched them with the data we have‚ therefore leaving us with eight indentified skulls. This report will thoroughly discuss what we believe each skull is and why we think so. Firstly‚ we believe skull number one is Homo habilis. H. habilis is about
