In the short story‚ "Decent of man" author T. Coraghessan Boyle introduces dark humor to describe the dying love between the narrator and his girlfriend Jane as she falls romantically for a chimpanzee named Konrad.

The narrator starts out by identifying his strong dislike of the horrific odor that permeates the room from Jane working with the small furry creatures. He uses vivid detail

WHY IS SEX FUN? If you were a male would you rather have a beautiful‚ impressive‚ long tail that attracts a lot of women or would you rather have a shorter‚ less attractive tail that enables you to escape from predators more easily? Living out in the wild among many potential predators‚ a shorter tail would seem more logical since it would be a more useful trait than a good-looking one. Though the most logical choice‚ it is not always the case. In many species‚ traits that would normally be considered

interesting because the book used a definition assumedly made by an anthropologist or paleontologist which clearly helps to further or support their cause. As an example‚ the observance of reconciliation in primates‚ there is now evidence for reconciliation in more than twenty five different primate species…. The book goes on to elaborate that the definition of reconciliation used in animal research is a friendly reunion between two former opponents not long after a conflict . So this begs the question

According to the article‚ “Human Breastfeeding Is Not Automatic: Why That’s So and What It Means For Human Evolution‚” written by Anthony A. Volk‚ nursing is instinctive and automatic for most mammals. However‚ some primates are different. Successful breastfeeding is a learned skill for primates such as humans and apes. Apes in captivity learn to nurse by observation and do so rather quickly‚ without problems. Even though humans require more time to learn the breastfeeding technique than apes‚ they still

Scientists must realize that these chimpanzees and other primates may be close to us in DNA‚ however we should not be using them in this way that could permanently injure them. “In the U.S. more than 100 million animals are tortured due to animal experimentation practices- classified as any testing that is likely

such as appeasement‚ affection‚ social status‚ erotic games‚ reconciliation‚ excitement‚ and stress reduction. While most mammals mate only during specified breeding seasons‚ many primate species are able to breed at any time during the course of a year. Many of the roots of human behavior can be traced to our primate heritage‚ including survival through cooperation and mutual assistance. In particular‚ humans and Bonobos have developed different mechanisms for peacekeeping. Cultural transmission
