APES chapter 1 &2 study guide Essay

The book I chose was “Planets Without Apes” by Craig B. Stanford. The book was published by The Belknap Press (Harvard) by Harvard University Press, in 2013. I think that the book was a good factual read and that there was a lot of good information but with that said, I think it was a bit jumbled with too much information. I say this because there are many, many different large ideas. It is like a tree with the trunk being the idea of a planet without apes and off the trunk are the branches which symbolize the smaller information about what would happen without apes then off of the branches are the leaves which are small little bits of information that all resemble the idea of what would happen with a planet without apes. The way that Stanford portrays his information is great but eventually can be hard to follow.

In the essay “The Worthy Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” Kelly Pietruszynski thoroughly gives her evaluation of the movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Pietruszynski begins her essay with a summary of the movie so that the reader can get an idea of how the plot will develop (even if they have not seen the movie). She thinks the plot is high quality and that the theory of how the apes gained their intelligence is credible. Pietruszynski goes on to state that we can relate with this plot line because we can imagine all of the time and research that was put into finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Even listing the subtleness of how the intelligence is gained by the ape is appealing to the author, as it took place over time and wasn’t an

I chose to study the behaviors of the Spider monkey and the Sifaka. I chose them for a few reasons, one being that Spider monkeys are incredibly adorable and two Sifaka’s remind me of a childhood television show, Zoboomafoo. These two primate groups also struck my attention in class, so this project was a perfect opportunity to dig a little deeper. The behaviors I chose to observe were social interactions and locomotion. The biggest differences I noticed between the two primates were that the Spider monkeys have the prehensile tails and without exerting extra energy is able to engage in a few common locomotion patterns such as quadrupedal, suspensory and bipedalisim. Where as Sifaka’s lack a tail, and remain upright at all times, and the

We live in a time where we experience more freedom in the way we enjoy life, among human’s, and new cultural habits that have been developing throughout years. Technology is making humans’ life easier and more enjoyable, filled with new access to reaching new opportunities that would have been impossible in the past. Technology has facilitated today’s way of living making it faster and more efficient, but it has also affected our society. In the films, Planet of The Apes the original version and the version in 2014, both illustrate how technology has had an affected on our cultural society by supplying a higher demand for violent in everyday life as in films becoming icons for today’s way of life. Providing audience violence which is increasing in which is becoming accepted in today’s and becoming part of our cultural society. In Planet of the Apes produced in 2001 and the remake version produced in 2014, both films illustrate changes in today’s cultural living. In addition Planet of the Apes illustrates an air force astronaut who crash-lands on a mysterious planet where evolved, talking Apes dominate a race of primitive humans. While the Remake Film named Dawn to the Planet of the Apes illustrated in 2014 consisted of A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar (main character,) is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. Dawn to the Planet of the Apes show how Hollywood has made advencements in technology

In this week’s reading there were two articles that we were given to read. First, I am going to discuss Chapais’ "Monogamy, strongly bonded groups, and the evolution of human social structure." Then, I will go on to discuss Rodseth’s "The human community as a primate society." I was very torn it when it came to how I felt about the article by Chapais. I found the topic itself to be very interesting. However, the article was difficult and dry to read. As someone who loves studying why we are they way we are, the idea that we have evolved to create the types of societies we do is an intriguing topic. Something I wish the author would have talked about was our tend to segregate our societies by upper, middle, and lower class. I would like to know

There has been many remakes and sequels for the famous film known as The Planet of the apes. Without a doubt there are many similarities and differences between the original and the remakes. The two films that I'm going to compare and contrast is the original 1968 film to the 2011 Rise of the planet of the apes.

During Taylor’s trial, the council of orangutans questioned the chimps of Taylor’s identity—is he man, ape, or a “missing link?” This particular clip from Franklin Schaffner’s Planet of the Apes provides obvious evidence of the ignorance of apes towards scientific knowledge and advancements, as well as the desperation of Zira and Cornelius to convince the council to accept their theories and evidence as scientific truths in order to save Taylor’s life.

When Planet of the Apes opened in theaters, few people knew what to expect. To most, the idea of a movie with the premise of a planet full of intelligent apes went against everything they had been taught. The initial attraction was the superb cast, spearheaded by Charlton Heston who portrays Taylor, an astronaut who crashes onto the planet. Heston was joined by many popular actors and actress such as, Roddy McDowell as Cornelius, Maurice Evans as Dr. Zaius and Kim Hunter as Zira. Though the cast may have been the initial draw, the content is what has made the movie Planet of the Apes a classic that will continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.

An in depth debate in philosophy is whether or not man is a part of nature, or apart from it. Gould focuses the answer around mans relationship with apes, especially gorillas and chimpanzees. He gives three reasons to back that the difference between man and such animals is measure of degree, and not the existence of a specific attribute. He starts with morphology. Gould writes of the debate between two anatomists that happened in 1861. It became known as the Great Hippocampus debate. Richard Owen said that he found a structure in the human brain that wasn't in any other animal, as well as apes. Ultimately meaning humans are genuinely unique from all other animals. The other guy, Thomas Huxley, dissected the brain of a gorilla, proving this

After the success of 2011’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” and the 2014’s “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” here comes the third installment of the human and primates movie franchise. With a title, “War for the Planet of the Apes” the movie is set to be released on July 14 2017 and will star a new cast Steve Zahn.

The Rise of the Planet of the Apes shows several examples of the metaphysical relationship between humans and apes. In this movie, filmmakers show the dark side of human nature that humans don’t worry about the other beings and no one can be equal to them through the journey and experience of an intelligent ape called Caesar. We are shown compare and contrast of the consummate reform in the film. In order for the society to succeed, there must be self-determination and uniformity. Throughout the film, we see examples of suppression and imprisonment with animals that causes them to break out their cages. The story incorporates the ideas of both freedom and oppression through different examples that include Statue of Liberty, fake trees, and

What makes a primate a primate? A primate is defined by its many incredible features. A primate is a mammal that has certain characteristics such as: flexible fingers and toes, opposable thumbs, flatter face than other mammals, eyes that face forward and spaced close together, large and complex cerebrum, and social animals. What makes a primate a primate is its characteristics. Some of the physical features primates are identified by is their teeth, snouts, eyes, ears, arms, legs, fingers, and toes. Human evolution is a big part of humans being primates, and having similar features and characteristics make humans to be considered to be a primate, but both humans and non-humans have differences.

Tarzan of the Apes began it all for Edgar Rice Burroughs, propelling him into the world of literature with no understanding how he happened to succeed in becoming ranked among the finest adventure story authors. His stories set the stage of adventure story-telling through his narrative efficiency in their construction, capturing and keeping the audience’s imagination (Gioia, 2014; Bartlett, 2017). Although from humble beginnings published as a pulp fiction adventure, there is much debate over categorising Tarzan of the Apes into a specific genre, as some argue elements of romance and science fiction. This essay aims to assess the text to determine how it engages in its primary genre of adventure fiction, and how it may fit in and engage

The end of the story reveals the hidden spiritual meaning behind the monkeys change in
