Zoo or Prison People always say that animals are our friends; that is why we’d like to go to zoos to see those animals. But are the animals happy about being locked in cages and being seen by people everyday? Or do they want to live in the environments that they are supposed to live? Of course we are never able to know what an animal thinks‚ but I know one thing for sure‚ I don’t want to live in a cage and to be showed to people everyday. Keeping animals in the zoos stops them from being who

Hall Often times‚ when an individual with only basic knowledge of biological anthropology considers the adaptation and evolution a group‚ the importance of coevolution is either overlooked or understated. In the article Manipulation complexity in primates coevolved with brain size and terrestriality‚ which can be found in the magazine Nature‚ authors Sandra A. Heldstab‚ Zaida K. Kosonen‚ Sonja E. Koski‚ Judith M. Burkart‚ Carel P. van Schaik & Karin Isler‚ find that there is a plethora of evidence

People often study non-human primates just to compare their levels and types of intelligence to that of humans‚ such as looking to discover if they have or can learn communication and language that is comparable to that of human language. Knowing whether another grouping of animals‚ especially non-human primates‚ can have a complex language or system of communication

Castellanos THE2000 Ms Janet Roney 12/1/12 The Zoo Story Edward Albee’s “The Zoo Story” is a one act play that shows what alienation and loneliness can drive a man to do. It is a unique story in the sense that you almost feel as though you are reading in on a social experiment. I consider it is an experiment because of how the reactions between the two characters Peter and Jerry lead up to an intense and life affecting climax between the two. The idea of The Zoo Story is about a middle class man with a

Cheetahs in Zoos Cheetahs in captivity should be left there‚ not released into the wild‚ and on the same note cheetahs in the wild should be left there‚ not brought into captivity. A cheetah in a zoo that is released into the wild may not know what to do‚ having been cared for by people in an enclosed environment for a number of years and then suddenly thrust out into the wild and on its own may have adverse effects on the cat ’s psyche‚ making it manic or exhibit unpredictable behaviors and

Diet and Primate Evolution In the article “Diet and Primate evolution” by Katherine Milton‚ it addresses the change in which the diet of primates evolves throughout millions of years and how it helps them‚ as a whole species‚ evolve and develop various characteristics‚ thus creating species variation. It discusses how at first‚ the primates are very primeval & this was largely due to their restricted diet. Secondly‚ it talks about the way in which they started to develop a more diverse diet and

I believe that the correlation between the behaviors patterns associated with sex among nonhuman primates (Chimpanzees) can be used to understand the development of gender roles in hominin species throughout human evolution. When analyzing chimpanzees‚ they are significantly different based on biological sex through body size and behavior. It was found

The Role of Primate Sociality in Evolutionary Theory Introduction Some animals‚ and more specifically primates‚ have been noted for having brains of an uncommonly large size. One explanation for this phenomenon is the ‘social brain’ or ‘social intelligence’ hypothesis‚ which states that brain sizes have increased in order to handle the demands of sociality (Lindenfors 2005; Pérez-Barbería et al. 2007). The increase in brain size can be attributed to the computational power needed to track

Writing Assignment One--Do primates posses culture? I think that if culture is defined as learned behavior‚ than it is reasonable to say that primates posses a form of culture. Primates have been observed making tools to aid in collecting food and developing communication system‚ both of which are learned behaviors. It is common in monkeys‚ apes and humans that behavior and social organization aren’t necessarily programmed into the genes. There have been several cases where an entire troop has
