something like our intelligence‚ or that we communicate with each other and they do not. Social brain hypothesis is a proposal that strives to explain that in comparison to all vertebrates‚ the primates have naturally larger brain size to the body mass. This theory goes ahead to demonstrate that the primates acquire the wider brains as a result of their struggle to manage their complex social systems. According to La Mattrie the human being has always tried to understand it in reference to animals

The Evolution of Language The study of language is very intriguing once you start looking a little farther into it. I read through many books and sources to help make the history of language a little more clear and found many interesting ideas. I found that something as simple as the way you use your hand could shape the brain‚ language‚ and human culture (The Hand). I also found many sources on human evolution; and digging a bit deeper into this area showed me many thoughts and

Though animals cannot express their feelings linguistically‚ researchers have found that like humans‚ their emotions can be expressed through actions. Individual primates behave in different ways depending on the circumstances they find themselves in and the group members they interact with. For example‚ individuals who spend more time in proximity to one another will generally be friendlier and less aggressive to

Augustin Fuentes said that anthropology is “the discipline that studies human and nonhuman primates in all their aspects”(Fuentes 2012:15). The nonhuman primates that he was referring to are monkeys‚ apes‚ and prosimians. Another subfield of anthropology is cultural anthropology. “Cultural anthropology focuses

The definition that I learned in class on the 5th of September includes any “group specific behavior transmitted non-genetically for reasons other than genetics or ecology” (King 2012). While the idea of culture may span multiple fields of anthropology‚ I find it extremely important to biological anthropology in order study the use of tools among non-human primates.

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
