This article is summarized as the experimentation to observe the intelligence and mental abilities of the Baboons. The achievements of the experiment are to better our understanding of the "high mental processes" of animals‚ chiefly Primates. The experiment entailed two baboons and two humans in a couple of relation experiments on a computer. Both pairs were subjected to the find correlations and relations on a computer screen and then using a joystick point in the direction of the correct answer

In the book The Shadow of Man‚ the chimpanzees being studied are sometimes referred to as monkeys and sometimes as apes. This led me to wonder if there was in fact a difference between monkeys and apes‚ or if they were just two different ways of saying the same thing.

Apes belong

While humans and primates are related in many ways‚ there are distinct characteristics for hominids. The most unique characteristic difference that separates hominids and non-human primates is bipedalism. While hominids walk on two feet‚ non-human primates are quadrupedal‚ using all fours to get around. Multiple experiments were conducted to identify between the advantages and disadvantages of being bipedal. The first experiment involved observing human and non-human primates and their difference

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

relative to the size of the individual‚ and that in females‚ aggressiveness and reproductive ability determine the rank of an individual. The dominance hierarchies displayed in primate groups suggest that higher-ranking males have the highest reproductive success due to increased female attention and availability. Female primates at a higher level benefit and are able to produce more surviving offspring‚ (Huntingford and Turner‚ 1987). In relation to Darwin’s sexual selection theory‚ Huntingford and
