Other biochemical evidence‚ demonstrates a very close genetic relationship between human beings and the living African apes‚ particularly the chimpanzee (99% matching genetic makeup). The relationship is apparent at a cellular level‚ sequences of DNA‚ and similarities in proteins. It is believed that our ancestors and those of the gorilla and chimpanzee had a common line for several million years after they were separated from what is believed to be our earliest ancestor - the orang-utan (Birkett

Desert Saguaro Cactus Scientific Name: Carnegiea gigantean Habitat: desert slopes and flats Range: Sonoran Desert Observations: The shape and appearance of the Saguaro Cactus is easily recognizable in countless movies set in the desert. The cactus is a producer‚ using photosynthesis to create its energy needs. Since it doesn’t have leaves‚ its photosynthesis takes place in the top layer of its green stem. The cactus uses a number of adaptations to survive in the dry desert conditions. They

Chapter 1 1. Jose Delgado is one of the two examples given in the book of lapses in critical thinking. He believed he found a procedure to control aggression. Delgado demonstrated this procedure by placing an electrode in the bull’s brain (in the caudate nucleus) and then as the bull charged he activated the stimulator that sent an electrical current to the electrode. Delgado concluded that the caudate must be a taming center since caudate stimulation stopped the raging bull. There are many reasons
