Apes are one of the most sophisticated creatures on the face of the Earth. From their advanced means of communication to their ability to craft a variety of useful tools‚ these attributes not only let them thrive in a prehistoric humanistic way‚ but also rule the animal kingdom. Despite their rich intellect the general public see apes as nothing more than feeble-minded‚ rabid beasts‚ some not even able to distinguish the former from monkeys‚ who are distinctly different species.

You Have No Reason for Cloning Humans Think of walking down the street in thirty years and running into an exact replica of yourself. Is it your twin? No‚ you do not have a twin; it is your clone. Your biological makeup could have been cloned as an embryo and raised separately as an experiment. I bet many of you have seen Star Wars‚ Jurassic Park or many of the other movies that describe cloning. Most of what you see in these movies is false. What you do not know is if that cloning could be

known as `Ethology’ The study of Human behaviour is known and `Ethnology’ The scientific study of animals is founded on: Darwin’s Theory that all life is related and descended from a common ancestor. Most studies have been carried out on Primate Monkeys as they are thought to be the closest relations to humans. As animals mature faster than humans this allows scientists to research and gain greater insight of how comparisons can be justified and adapted to understand human behaviour.

The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes‚ is a sequel‚ to a prequel‚ to a reboot‚ of The Planet of the Apes franchise (get all that?).
