anthropology: focuses on human health and its relationship with culture‚ behavior‚ and biology 5- Biological anthropology: study of human and non-human primate in their biological and demographic dimensions Evolutionary Anthropology: is the application of modern evolutionary theory to studies of the morphology‚ ecology‚ and behavior of human and non-human primates. The biological evolution has influenced and continues to influence humans‚ as It has all other life forms on Earth. II- WHAT DO EVOLUTIONARY

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

Rabbits are not the only animals that are succumbed to the sickening procedures of experiments. Primates‚ cats‚ dogs‚ mice and rats are also some animals that are commonly known to be tested on.

that humans are just like other primates. While some others have mentioned that humans did not exactly descend from chimpanzees or gorillas‚ but it might be possible that humans and other primates have shared a common ancestor. It’s true that they share a lot of similarities but on the other hand they also have a lot of differences. The three main obvious disparities among humans and primates are Bipedalism‚ Language‚ and the Brain. One human trait that primates and any other kinds of animals do

Waal provides examples of laughter‚ instinct and movement in order to demonstrate how important imitation is for survival and for the bonding of primates. At the beginning of his essay‚ de Waal discusses laughter and how we imitate others around us by unconsciously laughing when others laugh. de Waal states‚ “Below my office window at the Yerkes Primate Center‚ I often hear my chimps laugh during rough-and-tumble games‚ and I cannot suppress a chuckle myself.” The phrases “ suppress a chuckle myself;”

the first vertebrates to actually walk the solid earth. They began their conquest of land in the Paleozoic era around 360 million years ago. The question many paleontologists have been asking for a long period of time is whether the anatomy for locomotion on land was developed in water for swimming purposes‚ or if it was adapted after the creatures became terrestrial. Recent findings of fossils indicate that the transformations of the aquatic creatures happened underwater in order to help them survive
