Bonobos: The bonobo is an in interesting species because it shares more than 98 percent of our genetic profile‚ which makes it very close to a human. It is believed that the human line of ancestry‚ along with the line of bonobo and chimpanzee‚ split about eight million years ago (http://songweaver.com). The bonobo is closely related to the chimpanzee but it is considered to be a different species (pygmy chimpanzee). When one looks at a bonobo‚ they may think that it looks a lot like a chimpanzee;

Our closest relatives‚ the apes‚ the monkeys‚ and the lemurs‚ only live in tropical or subtropical areas. Today there are 153 different species of primates in the world.

ago‚ a meteor hit Earth and primates started to show up and eventually lead to our creation. There are many different kinds of primates that we have studied and learned from. We can go to different places to view and understand their life style. The Fort Worth zoo is one of those places where I went to observe and learn. I got to observe two white-cheeked gibbons and three ring-tailed Lemurs. Apart from their difference they also have some similarities. The first primate that I observed was the white-cheeked

A monkey is a primate of the Haplorrhini suborder and simian infraorder‚ either an Old World monkey or a New World monkey‚ but excluding apes and humans. There are about 260 known living species of monkey. Many are arboreal‚ although there are species that live primarily on the ground‚ such as baboons. Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent. Unlike apes‚ monkeys usually have tails. Tailless monkeys may be called "apes"‚ incorrectly according to modern usage; thus the tailless Barbary

genes. I personally think that human and apes do share similarities such as most genes. Furthermore‚ “Humans belong to the biological group known as Primates‚ and are classified with the great apes‚ one of the major groups of the primate evolutionary tree. Besides similarities in anatomy and behavior‚ our close biological kinship with other primate species is indicated by DNA evidence. It confirms that our closest living biological relatives are chimpanzees and bonobos‚ with whom we share many traits”

language is used by humans we can affirm that the grammar is shown. 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

with African countries‚ though found worldwide‚ the bushmeat crisis is a big deal – and a big threat. Many animals fall victim to being hunted solely for the purpose of being used as décor‚ food‚ or apparel. The bushmeat crisis doesn’t only affect primates‚ but in fact a variety of creatures. The worst possible outcome of such behaviour can result in the extinction of a species or very close to extinction. The bushmeat trade happens globally‚ even in places unexpected to harbour these beliefs and practices

it does (Park‚ 2008). 3) Discuss what a physical anthropologist may examine/investigate in order to study evolution. Paleoanthropology is a branch of paleontology that falls under physical anthropology. Paleoanthropologists study extinct primates and fossils. They use these examinations to further investigate the evolution of humans. They examine ancient humans‚ like the anthropoids. Anthropoids are considered humans closest relative and have been linked to human evolution (Coyne‚ 2009)
