Sapajus apella is a scientific name of tufted capuchin and is characterized by its distinct head coloration. Capuchins are New World monkeys that have “long legs and a prehensile tail which helps them to climb and swing through trees” (Richman). Capuchin became known to the public after Dexter‚ a small capuchin monkey‚ appeared in the movie Night at the Museum. People merely refer to this animal as capuchin or monkey‚ but capuchin has a very complex taxonomy and still undergoes constant changes.

From her optimism and connection she shared with the chimpanzees‚ Jane Goodall became the first person to have broken the barrier of what made humans different from animals after the discoveries she made during her time of research. Through to her optimism‚ Jane delved deeper into the primates’ daily lives and

Millions of “could have been pets” are being tortured and killed in labs right now because Animal testing is legal. Where do the animals come from that they do these terrible things? The ASPCA wrote in a 2012 article that most of the time Scientists just buy them from respectable dealers. There are two types of dealer’s type A‚ and Type B. Type A dealers can only sell animals that they have bred. Class B licensed dealers can also sell animals that they got without breeding them. Most of the time

genes. I personally think that human and apes do share similarities such as most genes. Furthermore‚ “Humans belong to the biological group known as Primates‚ and are classified with the great apes‚ one of the major groups of the primate evolutionary tree. Besides similarities in anatomy and behavior‚ our close biological kinship with other primate species is indicated by DNA evidence. It confirms that our closest living biological relatives are chimpanzees and bonobos‚ with whom we share many traits”

INTRODUCTION Symptom management is a fundamental aspect of palliative care (WHO 2003). It is the primary therapeutic goal of service delivery and is aimed at subjective wellbeing (De Canno & Martini 2001). Although it is estimated that 90% of patients who access palliative care services have a diagnosis of cancer (Bruera % Portenoy 2001)‚ governments worldwide are now committed to ensuring that palliative care is available to all who need it‚ including patients diagnosed with incurable non-malignant

Chimpanzees are categorized in the order primates; suborder Catarrhini and family Hominidae.They are the closet living relatives. Today‚ there are two species of chimpanzees: Common Chimpanzee (Pan Troglodytes) and bonobo (Pan Paniscus)‚ both are in the same category as humans‚ monkeys‚ and gorillas. Humans share with them 98% of the genetic code and according to experts “believe our common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Then two species broke off into separate lineages‚ one ultimately

language is used by humans we can affirm that the grammar is shown. When comparing humans and animals using ASL‚ it’s demonstrated on researches with primates that they are just able to sign the words itself; just sometimes they can put a few words together‚ but that doesn’t mean they are able to use grammar. In some of the research made with primates and ASL‚ researchers conclude that the animals were just mimicking theirs trainers in order to get treats or just to please them. Keeping in mind that
