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

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.

Compare and contrast the social organization of the great apes (chimps‚ bonobos‚ and gorilla’s orangutans) and savannah baboons. What accounts for these differences? The social organization of baboons is one of the most intensely studied of the primates. There is only one defined level of social organization in savanna baboons‚ the stable group of several dozen individuals. This group is defined by tending to not break into any recurring subgroups and not merging with neighboring groups. In Papio

Animal testing should no longer be practiced because it is unethical‚ the results can be misleading‚ and alternatives are available. It is widely known animal testing injures and kills many animals each year for the sake of the humans that may use the products. According to preventative medicine/public health specialist Aysha Akhtar‚ worldwide over 15 million animals are used in experimentation and often suffer‚ even though alternatives to animal testing exist.
