was originally produced and presented by the Discovery Channel. This series shows us about the history of evolution on this planet and each episode has a separate chapter in the biography of the world. This series also shows us that one group of primates moved onto plains where they evolved the ability to stand upright. They used computer and technology to examine the evolution of humans so that the series will be clear for us to understand. II. Summary Planet of Life: Apes

Capuchins are part of a subfamily of New World monkeys called cebines. The Capuchin monkey has been regarded as one of the most intelligent primates. This intelligence is what makes them my favorite primate. They are able to learn and apply this knowledge in performing tasks for survival‚ as well as things like assisting humans. Although there are several species of Capuchin monkeys that may slightly differ in habitat‚ size‚ color‚ and other characteristics of morphology‚ one thing they all have

Though some may argue that a woman who gets an abortion is‚ in fact‚ harming another person‚ medical research has yet to define personhood as happening in the “moment of conception.” Personhood (which is what the concept would apply to) is defined as happening in the “moment of birth” (ProCon.org‚ 2012). Moreover‚ it is false to argue “God” or faith into any topic affecting human rights because not everyone

However under this umbrella‚ infanticide‚ the act of killing an infant‚ is morally permissible as they do not meet the criteria to be considered a person and fetuses and infants are intertwined within the same category

It has long been believed that humankind owes its survival to bipedalism‚ which is the ability to walk on two legs. This is the first human characteristic to distinguish human from other primates. It is habitual‚ meaning that it is their primary form of transportation. This characteristic thrived in a time where forests were shrinking and the environment consisted wide grasslands and sparse woodland. The feature of bipedal locomotion lead hominids to manipulate their surroundings‚ bypassing their

Though there are many biological and social differences between Homo Sapiens and the great apes‚ who are all members of the Hominoidea Infraorder‚ (a sub-classifaction of the primate order within the animal kingdom) there are also many similarities. When comparing Homo Sapiens and great apes‚ there is a lot to compare biologically. Humans differ from the great apes in a few ways. For instance‚ humans are bipedal (the ability

Even nonhuman primates such as monkeys and chimpanzees need social contact with others of their species in order to develop properly. As we will see‚ appropriate social contact is even more important for humans. -Isolation and Nonhuman Primates Researchers have attempted to demonstrate the effects of social isolation on nonhuman primates raised without contact with others of their own species.

TA: Colin Hoag The study of the origin of humans and the journey of our evolution is a diverse and dynamic field that can be approached in many ways. Shirley Strum chose to examine primate behavior with the hope that it would illuminate the challenges early humans may have encountered and the possible solutions and adaptations they experienced in order to survive. In this essay I will outline the central findings as expressed in Strum’s book‚ Almost Human: A Journey into the World of Baboons‚ and
