References are the books "Primate Behavioral Ecology" by Karen Strier and "Planet Without Apes" by Craig Stanford
Imagine a friend tells you that humans are naturally aggressive, "just look at chimpanzees."
Question: What specific information would you share with them about bonobos, muriquis, and the distance of our common ancestor with apes?
At a minimum, you will need to reference the bonobo film, the article No Alpha Males Allowed, and the lecture.
Describe the characteristics that humans share with the chimpanzees.

- Chimpanzees have been observed making and using tools in the wild. True or false?arrow_forwardScientists speculate or hypothesize that primates evolved to have such traits as nails, grasping hands and feet, forward-facing eyes and depth perception because of their arboreal environs as well as the need to either hunt or to find flowery plants. is this true or false?arrow_forwardIn “Our Origins” book by Larsen, what has recent research revealed about chimpanzees? A.) some populations use stone tools and cut animal hides B.) they can control their vocalizations with the same brain centers as humans C.) savanna populations sharpen their sticks and hunt galagosarrow_forward
- Write a few short sentences, describe the environmental factors researchers hypothesize contributed to the behavioral differences between bonobos and chimpanzees? Note: No plagiarism, no copy, write your own words.arrow_forwardYou are a wildlife biologist researching black rhinos. During your time in Africa, you have observed two particular traits that allow some black rhinos to be better adapted to their environment. The first trait is an extra-long prehensile lip that enables the rhino to have more efficient browsing capabilities than rhinos with the usual size prehensile lip. Second, some of the rhinos in the study have extra-large ears that allow them to hear a potential predator earlier than rhinos with normal size ears. If you could breed black rhinos that have both of these good traits (an extra-long prehensile lip (P) and bigger ears (E), it wouldincrease their chance for survival in the wild. You have chosen the following two rhinos to enter into a breeding program for the two desired phenotypic traits. It has been determined (based on your previous research) that both the desired traits are homozygous recessive. Parent 1: Heterozygous dominant for prehensile lip trait. Heterozygous for the longer…arrow_forwardHow would most biologists and anthropologists explain the reasons behind why primates do specific behaviors in general? Give an example of one primate behavior we talked about in lecture and explain why they might do that specific behavior?arrow_forward
- What is the status of the hypothesis that language evolved as a by-product of overall intelligence? a. It is supported by findings that total brain mass correlates highly with language ability. b. It is supported by findings that teaching language to other primates causes an enormous amount of brain expansion. c. It is contradicted by findings that brain damage has no effect on language. d. It is contradicted by findings that some people have normal intelligence without language, and others have normal language despite mental retardation in many other regards.arrow_forwardHomo habilis was a notable species of primate because; We have clear evidence that they were making and using tools They had brains as large as modern humans They are the direct ancestors of modern humans We have clear evidence that they were using written languagearrow_forwardWhy was it stated in a previous expert response that Chipanzees are referred to as HABITUAL bipeds rather than faculative.arrow_forward
- Compare and contrast the social organization of orangutans, gorillas, and common chimpanzees. Compare chimpanzee and bonobo anatomy and social behavior. Why are nonhuman primate populations endangered? Why is their extinction of grave concern?arrow_forwardAnimals have evolved a range of strategies to successfully respond to threats and challenges. One of these strategies is the ability to learn. As we discussed, not every animal can learn and there are clear costs and benefits to this strategy. Suggest one benefit of the ability to learn and one potential cost. Briefly explain each. (1-2 sentences for each) Since learning is not universal, under which circumstances would it be most likely be a successful strategy? We discussed a framework that examines the influence of predictability on the success of learning ability. Describe this framework. Make sure you discuss all the available conditions and clearly state under which we would expect learning to be successful and where we would not expect it to be successful. What would be an alternative strategy to regulate behaviour when learning is not suitable? Briefly explain your choice.
