Singing duets at sunrise and traversing through the arboreal world of the tree tops‚ the White Eared Titi Monkeys of Bolivia are social creatures that can likewise be found in zoos around the world. While Titi monkeys are not considered to be endangered due to their ability to adapt well to new environments‚ in the modern world where rainforests are commonly clear cut to make farm land for cash crops‚ the future of the Titi monkeys and many other species who inhabit these places is unknown.

"Lucy in the sky with diamonds"‚ which Johanson was listening to when he discovered the first bone. When he first discovered her‚ Johanson was immediately able to identify Lucy as a hominid. A hominid refers to a member of the zoological family Hominidae. Hominidae cover all species originating after the human/African ape ancestral split. It was so clear that Lucy was a hominid because she stood and walked in an upright position. How do we even know this much? When collecting the bones‚ Johanson observed

What are the major groups of primates? I thought that this question was very interesting because primates are the closest living relatives to humans. Primates are fascinating because they resemble a primitive or basal version of ourselves and at the same time are also quite different from us as well. There is a large number of primate species both in the African and Asian continents as well as in the Americas. Those species that are found in Africa and Asia are collectively called old world

reclassification of the great apes has been proposed. Traditionally‚ there was pongidae and hominidae (where apes and humans are classified separately). The proposed change is that all of the great apes become classified into hominidae‚ and then separate them out at different subfamilies and tribes. 4. Reclassification of the Great Apes (Family Names): i. Traditionally: Pongidae / Hominidae ii. Proposed: All Hominidae‚ different subfamilies and tribes C. Primate studies 1. Descriptive: describing

In my opinion that Humans and Primates share similarities that can define them as our closest relative of our own species but also differences
