When he awoke he thought that there was a cold and hairy leg in the bed with him‚ so he tries to throw it out of the bed‚ away from him. By doing so he throws himself in the floor because it was actually his leg that he was trying to throw out of the bed. The Dr.Sacks had to try to explain to him that

the character’s current identity. The ape in “The Academy” stands in a crossroad between his ape-ish past and a humanized identity‚ the Indian girl in “Story of the Warrior and the Captive Maiden” transitions from a civilized woman to a feral being‚ while the Warrior (Droctulft )transitions in the reverse sequence.

is that humans evolved from apes and Neanderthals since we have morphological and biological similarities proven by human fossils like bones‚ tools‚ and footprints left by earlier people. These ancestral apes then evolved to humans by natural selection‚ changing their posture‚ bone structure‚ appearance and behavior as the more selectively advantaged apes survived and reproduced. [12] Charles Darwin who came up with the theory of natural selection‚ believed that apes‚ humanoids‚ and Neanderthals

HUMAN SPECIES? by Ulla Hedeager INTRODUCTION The assertion that humans differ from animals in their use of language has been the subject of much discussion as scientists have investigated language use by non-human species. Researchers have taught apes‚ dolphins‚ and parrots various systems of human-like communication‚ and recently‚ the study of animal language and behaviour in its natural environment rather than in the laboratory has increased. It is my aim to discuss human language within an evolutionary
