examples being walking‚ jogging‚ running‚ etc upright on two legs. Bipedalism goes back millions of years and although unique it is not uncommon to see animals standing and moving on two legs. However‚ only a few set of animals walk on two legs such as primates those being monkeys‚ chimpanzees‚ and gorillas who occasionally are bipedal meaning they sometimes walk on two feet but are not Habitual bipedal like humans. Habitual bipedalism is rare among animals and the only two that do it are humans and kangaroos

ancestor of all life‚ the topic usually covers only the evolutionary history of primates‚ in particular the genus Homo‚ and the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of hominids (or "great apes"). The study of human evolution involves many scientific disciplines‚ including physical anthropology‚ primatology‚ archaeology‚ linguistics‚ evolutionary psychology‚ embryology and genetics.[1] Genetic studies show that primates diverged from other mammals about 85 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous

Homo Sapiens are members of the family Hominidae‚ as well as Chimpanzees‚ Orangutans and Gorillas. Out of this Hominidae classification‚ it is thought that the closest relative to the Homo Sapien is the Chimpanzee‚ both possessing the same common ancestor. This is due to large similarities between the two species. Although there is a large amount of similarities‚ the differences between Chimpanzees and Homo Sapiens are what defines each species as their own. In this paper I am going to focus on the

Topic 6: Mammalian Pheromones Abstract A pheromone is a chemical signal which is released by one animal and received by another‚ which induce a species specific reaction. Pheromones are detected via chemosensory systems known as the Vomeronasal Organ (VNO). Within a wide range of mammals the VNO is used to elicit a generalized sexual response‚ primarily affecting the reproductive tract. This is seen in most terrestrial mammals who have adapted to sensing volatile chemical signals; the Mouse displays

Gibbons One of the most interesting primates living on this earth is the Siamang gibbon. I first found these primates interesting while I was at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago years ago because of their unique sound they make with their giant throats that sounds like a howl but has rhythm like a song. They have distinct features unlike other gibbons and they sure know how to make a scene or at least noticeable to visitors. Although my visit was very vague‚ these primates are still imprinted in my memory
