and others’ actions by reference to mental states‚ such as ‘desiring’‚ ‘knowing’ and ‘believing’. INTRODUCTION The expression ‘theory of mind’ (ToM) was introduced into psychology by David Premack and Guy Woodruff in 1978. Asking‚ ‘Does the chimpanzee have a theory of mind?’‚ they described experiments to assess whether the primate most closely related to us shares our tendency to interpret others’ actions by attributing to them ‘states of mind’ (or ‘mental states’). Premack and Woodruff referred

Name: Mr. G Class: Sociology Date: 10/06/2013 Topic: “Is culture unique to humans?” Question 1. What do chimpanzee and orangutan cultures have in common with human culture? Give examples of specific behaviors. Answer 1. These cultures are common because both have tool use‚ complex grooming and courtship. For example‚ young chimpanzees are taught how to crack nuts and when they run into technical problems the mother is always there to help them. This is quite like how humans would react.

Every single say we affect the lithosphere‚ whether we know it or not. Simple things just like a little rain effects it. Ways that processes and forces affect the lithosphere is water. When it runs off it causes chemical reactions that break down rocks. The rainwater dissolves the rocks to form caves and to move rock and soil to other places. By doing this is causes major erosion. Erosion is very bad because it slowly breaks away soil‚ and takes out all the nutrients that plants need to survive.

Using tools has been interpreted as a sign of intelligence‚ and it has been theorized that tool use may have stimulated certain aspects of human evolution-most notably the continued expansion of the human brain. Paleontology has yet to explain the expansion of this organ over millions of years despite being extremely demanding in terms of energy consumption. The brain of a modern human consumes about 20 Watts (400 kilocalories per day)‚ which is one fifth of the energy consumption of a human body

Primate Behavior The animal that most resembles us is the ape. At the zoo‚ it is easy to observe behavioral and facial expressions in monkeys and apes that are very much similar to our own. A group of apes could very well seem like a family. A mother taking care of her young may seem familiar to the human onlooker. This is because the ape is our closest living relative. In the documentary Primate Behavior‚ anthropologists observe the behavior of monkeys and primates. The primates are mostly observed

1975-1980. I am currently not married. But I have one child‚ Hugo Eric Louis van Lawick. As a child‚ I loved being outdoors and all animals. At the age of two‚ my dad brought me home a stuffed animal chimpanzee‚ which I named Jubilee. He gave me Jubilee because it was the first time that a chimpanzee was born at the London Zoo. That is when my fascination of chimpanzees began. When I was around eleven or twelve I had a dream that I was working with animals in the rain forest. And a little over ten

institute in Japan‚ a chimpanzee knows the food is hidden under a stone and reach it effortless. Then‚ researches replace stone with a heaviest stone and the chimpanzee could not take the food alone. If two chimpanzees know about food‚ they work together. At first‚ they do not synchronize their collaboration in pulling the heaviest stone but eventually‚ they figure out reward of synchronizing to their pulling. Same experiment is again performed with a human and ultimately‚ chimpanzee appeals for help
