It is very wasteful of the body’s essential resources of water and salt” (Morgan). Humans often mate face-to-face‚ the reason being the mode of “locomotion in which the spine and hind legs are in a straight line‚ and that affects the position of the sex organs” (Morgan). The only other animals that mate like humans are aquatic mammals‚ not the primates that humans are linked with. Another difference is the brain size; this would be an advantage to early man‚ and to chimpanzees‚ but what would force

Pan Paniscus vs. Gorilla Beringei Bonobos‚ sometimes called pygmy chimpanzees‚ survive and endure in fission-fusion social groups where a behomitic amount of individuals apportion into smaller groups of size and composition. They are classified as those involved in patrilineal groups. Bonobos are in Central Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo. There are an estimated number of thirty thousand bonobos in existence. Bonobos abide in the swampy rainforests of the southern region

Rizal Technological University Investigatory Study (Kingdom Animalia) Written by: Rodette Joyce Laurio Submitted to : 1 Introduction In biology‚ kingdom is a taxonomic rank‚ which is either the highest rank or in the more recent three-domain system‚ the rank below domain. Kingdoms are divided into smaller groups called phyla (in zoology) or divisions in botany. When Carl Linnaeus introduced the rank-based system of nomenclature into biology‚ the highest rank was given the name

that showed signs of early evolutionary development that is connected to Homo sapiens in the evolutionary tree. Lucy and Ardi are important to our evolutionary development because they were the first fossils to show upright walking as their primary locomotion. American paleoanthropologist‚ Dr. Donald Johanson‚ led the team that discovered Australopithecus Afarensis in 1974 at Hadar in the Awash Valley in Ethiopia. The discovery of Lucy was very significant‚ which was because the skeleton showed evidence
