Apes are sometimes confused with monkeys , but unlike their smaller primate counterparts, apes do not have tails and their arms are usually longer than their legs. Apes live in tropical woodlands and forests of Africa and Asia. Despite sharing similar habitats, different ape species show striking differences in behaviors and ways of life.

23. Chimpanzees: WhoZoo at random. chimpanzees possess a definite and discernible sense of form and even individual style (The primates p.155 ). This may http://www.whozoo.org/Anlife99/sheclark/template2chimps.htm

Chimpanzees Name: Chimpanzees Scientific name: Pan troglodytes Range: Tropical Rain Forest, Africa Habitat: Tropical Rain Forest Status:Endangered Species Diet in the wild: fruits,nuts,termites,roots,some plant leaves Diet in the zoo: fruits,bananas,lettuce,nuts Location in the zoo: World of Primates Physical description Infant chimpanzees weigh about four pounds at birth. By adulthood chimpanzees weigh approximately 95-150 pounds and are 3 to 4 feet tall. A chimpanzee's body is covered with short thick,black hair. General information Chimpanzees are very social animals." Chimpanzees as a whole usually live in large groups of 30 to 80 chimpanzees: females, males and their offspring. However, chimpanzees divide into smaller groups for hunting and foraging. This allows them to cover more ground and be able to feed from the best foraging locations (Monkeys and Apes p.26)."Separating into smaller groups also decreases the ' constant ' dissension among competing male chimpanzees "(Monkeys and Apes p.27). "Female chimpanzees give birth to a single infant about every 3 to 5 years so the arrival of a new chimpanzee is special and exciting for the other chimps in the group "(Monkeys and Apes p.28). "Baby chimps weigh only about 4 pounds at birth and are as about as helpless as human babies. Female chimps give their baby lots of love and affection. This love and affection can be seen when the mother chimp cradles and rocks her infant to sleep. Even her breast feeding is second only to that of a human mother" (Monkeys and Apes p.30).

24. "WhoZoo:Chimpanzees" chimpanzees arms are unusually long; they are 50 % longer than their body (big zoo). chimpanzees also have opposable thumbs. (primates). http://www.whozoo.org/Intro2003/EricBriscoe/EB_Chimpanzee.htm

Chimpanzee Scientific Name: Pan troglodytes Geographical Range: Western and Central Equatorial Africa north of the Zaire river Habitat: Tropical Forest or Open Grasslands with access to evergreen fruit bearing trees Diet in the Wild: fruits, nuts, insects, roots, leaves, and occasionally meat (young monkeys, bush pigs, etc.) Conservation Status: Endangered Location in the Zoo: World of Primates Physical Description: Chimpanzees are born at a weight of approximately 4 pounds and but as adults reach a weight that is usually between 95 and 150 pounds (Sheila Clark), but in some case they can exceed 200 pounds. Their bodies are covered with black and brown hair, but their faces are hairless (big zoo). They can have grey especially on the under chin area of older males (which can live to be 35 - 45 years in the wild and as long as fifty in captivity) (SCZ). In addition they have large external ears (big zoo). Chimpanzees arms are unusually long; they are 50 % longer than their body (big zoo). Chimpanzees also have opposable thumbs. In addition there are differences among the three subspecies of common chimpanzee: The Pan Troglodytes Schweinfyrthii (or Eastern Chimpanzee) has longer hair than the others and has bronze or copper facial skin. (Primates)

25. The Primates: Overview rare. primates also have unusually long natural life spans. With good medical care, chimpanzees can live nearly as long as people. http://anthro.palomar.edu/primate/prim_1.htm

Overview Ring-tailed lemurs T he Order Primates includes humans, apes, monkeys, prosimians, and related animals. Many of them may be familiar, but it would not be surprising if you cannot immediately visualize prosimians (like the ring-tailed lemurs in the picture on the right). They are an ancient, relatively primitive group of primates which also includes such animals as lorises. A ll of the 190 or more species of primates are classified into one taxonomic order because they are mammals with close evolutionary roots. The exact number of living primate species may not be known. Every few years new ones are found. The tropical forests of South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia may still be hiding unidentified species and varieties. According to Conservation International, a Washington-based non-profit organization, 10% of the primate species are now acutely endangered and will likely become extinct during the next 20 years. Most of the other primate species are also at great risk. The primary cause is deforestation, driven ultimately by human population growth.

Young chimps learn to create tools from objects in their environment by watching others; they use sticks to extract termites to eat and crumple leaves to soak up water to drink. 2. Just like people, mother chimpanzees often develop lifelong relationships with their offspring.

28. PRIME-TIME PRIMATES: Chimps Count ACTIVITY 2 INVESTIGATING ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE One characteristic of chimpanzees and other higher primates is their larger brain size. http://www.pbs.org/safarchive/4_class/45_pguides/pguide_504/4554_chimp2.html

Guide Index Keeping the Peace Chimp Manners Monkey See, Monkey Do? ... The Mating Game PRIME-TIME PRIMATES: Chimps Count Chimpanzees doing fractions? Language and math skills have long been thought to be solely human abilities, but an Ohio State University researcher has taught some chimpanzees to solve simple arithmetic problems. Primatologist Sally Boysen, who has been working with chimpanzees for many years, shows that the chimps are truly processing the information and not just learning by rote. Boysen's discoveries mean we may have to re-evaluate how we think about primate intelligence. Curriculum Links Activity 1: Animal Training Activity 2: Investigating Animal Intelligence Consider This! CURRICULUM LINKS BIOLOGY adaptation, regulation GENERAL SCIENCE collecting data, drawing conclusions, experimental methods LIFE SCIENCE brain, primates, sense organs MATH analysis, problem solving PSYCHOLOGY behavior, conceptual thought, higher order thinking skills, language ACTIVITY 1: ANIMAL TRAINING Training an animal to model a behavior, such as getting a lion to jump up and sit on a pedestal, is an arduous, time-consuming task. Watching such behaviors can be exciting, but few in the audience appreciate the trials involved in getting the animal to perform. Trainers typically reward any motion made by the animal that takes it closer to the desired behavior. For example, you would never train a lion to jump through a flaming hoop by holding up a hoop and telling the animal to "jump through." You'd have to break the task into separate components. First, you would probably have to train the animal to jump. Next, you might have the animal jump over a low stick. Slowly, you would work up to a hoop, and finally, introduce fire. Rewards would be constant throughout the process.

29. THE ORIGIN OF CHIMPANZEES, GORILLAS AND ORANGUTANS; The Origin Of The Primates Y 4. CALCULATION MODEL FOR THE GENETIC. MITOCHONDRIAL DRIFT FOR MONKEYS. Mathematical method applied to chimpanzees (and other primates). Period of time. http://www.mamomumy.com/

FastCounter THE ORIGIN OF CHIMPANZEES, GORILLAS AND ORANGUTANS ;The Origin of the Primates Y-Chromosomes Date of publication on Internet : July 26 , 2000 www.mamomumy.com Dated by BELGIAN Authorities 30 th of June, 2000 Studying the varieties between elephants or rhinos is easy. Of each genera we find one or two species in Africa and one or two in Asia. But monkeys, what a confusing situation .All kind of colours, sizes, shapes, weights and intelligences; not to mention their looks. Nowadays they are mainly spread over the worlds tropical regions, for the time being. In this article a new ANALYTICAL METHOD is proposed to classify apes and monkeys according their genetic distances from humans; most particularly the distances in MITOCHONDRIAL DNA (mtDNA) . The highly diversified monkey Y-chromosomes play a dominant role in this new method. Mitochondrial DNA is uniparentally inherited as we all know and is passed on from mother to son and daughter. As we shall see,also the MITOCHONDRIAL PATERNAL INHERITANCE plays a surprising role with monkeys and is passed on to every NEW GENE- RATION by means of the MALE SPERM CELL.

Credits Childhood Jane Goodall was born in London, England, on 3 April 1934, and grew up in Bournemouth on the southern coast of England. On her second birthday, Jane Goodall's father bought her a beautiful, life-like toy chimpanzee named Jubilee in honor of a baby chimpanzee born at the London Zoo. Friends warned her parents that such a gift would cause nightmares for a child. However, Jane Goodall loved the toy, and to this day Jubilee sits on a chair in her home in England. By the age of ten or eleven, Jane Goodall dreamed of going to Africa to live with animals. This was quite a radical aspiration in those days as young girls did not think of going to the "Dark Continent" of Africa. But Jane had encouragement from her mother, who told her, "Jane, if you really want something, and if you work hard, take advantage of the opportunities and never give up, you will somehow find a way." Jane Goodall was determined to travel to Africa and live out her childhood dream to work with wildlife. She attended secretarial school, then got a job with a documentary film company in England until she was invited to Kenya by a school friend. She worked as a waitress to save money for the fare.

WASP Website navigation : home PARTICULAR BIOLOGY Superkingdom Eukaryotae Kingdom Animalia ... Range and habitat Chimpanzees Chimpanzee, ape of equatorial Africa that, physically and genetically, is the animal most closely related to humans. Two species of chimpanzee, or chimp, exist: the common chimpanzee and the bonobo, also known as the pygmy chimpanzee. The common chimp is found in dense jungle and more open wooded savanna from Sierra Leone and Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean to the lakes Tanganyika and Victoria in east central Africa. The bonobo is found only in a small region of thick jungle in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC, formerly Zaire) in central Africa. Both species of chimpanzee are listed as endangered species in the wild by the World Conservation Union (also known as IUCN). The male common chimp is up to 1.7 m (up to 5.6 ft) high when standing, and weighs as much as 70 kg (154 lb); the female is somewhat smaller. The common chimp’s long arms, when extended, have a span half again as long as the body’s height. The bonobo is a little shorter and thinner than the common chimpanzee but has longer limbs. Chimpanzee feet are better suited for walking than are those of the orangutan because the chimp’s soles are broader and the toes shorter. The coat is dark; the face, fingers, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet are hairless; and the chimp has no tail. A bony shelf over the eyes gives the forehead a receding appearance, and the nose is flat. Although the jaws protrude, the lips are thrust out only when a chimp pouts. The brain of a chimpanzee is about half the size of the human brain.

40. Descent Of Man hands, as chimpanzees and baboons do. Only their next step was unique they began to use tools to butcher large carcasses that nonhuman primates cannot exploit http://www.mansfield.ohio-state.edu/~sabedon/biol1530.htm

Supplemental Lecture (97/05/04 update) by Stephen T. Abedon abedon.1@osu.edu Chapter title : Descent of Man A list of vocabulary words is found toward the end of this document Homo sapiens did not appear on the earth, just a geologic second ago, because evolutionary theory predicts such an outcome based on themes of progress and increasing neural complexity. Humans arose, rather, as a fortuitous and contingent outcome of thousands of linked events, any one of which could have occurred differently and sent history on an alternative pathway that would not have led to consciousness. To cite just four among a multitude: If our inconspicuous and fragile lineage had not been among the few survivors of the initial radiation of multicellular animal life in the Cambrian explosion 530 million years ago, then no vertebrates would have inhabited the earth at all. If a small and unpromising group of lobe-finned fishes had not evolved fin bones with a strong central axis capable of bearing weight on land, then vertebrates might never have become terrestrial. If a large extraterrestrial body had not struck the earth 65 million years ago, then dinosaurs would still be dominant and mammals insignificant (the situation that had prevailed for 100 million years previously).
