Apes

Chimps are studied because they are believed to be very similar to what our joint human-chimp ancestor probably looked like. Frans de Waal mentions in his book Bonobo: The Forgotten Ape(1997) that the ancestor may have looked similar to the bonobo, a close chimp cousin with a lighter frame and a more docile temperament. This is because their proportions are very similar to those of Australopithecus (a.k.a. Lucy), a more recent human ancestor who went extinct around 2 million years ago. Lucy had an arm-leg ratio of 12% and 28%. Bonobos have a ratio of 16% and 24% (p. 25). It is important to mention that bonobos split from chimps and not the other way around. If our ancestor had the proportions of a bonobo, it's possible that chimps developed their heavier frames due to the roughness of their early environment.

Salut: Though it is undetermined as to whether the ape actually thinks as a human does, all language is a form of social behavior.

A Baboon is a monkey. Baboons are classified as an Old World Monkey. So pretty much the answer to you question is they are similar in basically everything, because they are monkeys. The only difference is the physical look, i.e. the world famous Baboon butt and others. The answer to you question also varies widely based on what sub-species of Baboon you are trying to compare and to what other monkey species you are comparing it to.

Don't think about it honey 'cause today's not the generation of apes...but if you want may be you should count your ribs and put it as an answer to ur question!!!!

joke...

Pretty much all mammals (including the other apes) have five fingers on each hand (as well as five toes on each foot). Even whales have the finger bones of five fingers within their flippers.

Chimpanzees were the first to learn American Sign Language, which is considered a full-fledged language. The idea to teach them to communicate with their hands was first suggested as far back as the 17th century. However, it wasn't until the 1960s (based on the observation of a Primatologist active during the 1920s) that the Gardners, a husband-wife team of psychologists, began to teach American Sign Language to a young female chimp named Washoe. The results of their study were first published in 1969. A good book on the subject is Next of Kin: My Conversations with Chimpanzees (1997) by Roger Fouts.

Owning an orangutan requires a number of permits and preparation. You could inquire at your local zoo, animal control, or see the World Wildlife Foundation website (related links). Owning an orangutan is not like owning a toothbrush; you can't just go out and get one, own it for a while, then throw it out.

They most likely evolved this way through natural selection to provide stability to the fingertip, and to make the fingers work better as tools and for gripping.

no cuz in the bible it doesnt say w are related to ape the bible says that god breathed life for the sand and created Adam and eve so we are not related to ape cuz god created us like him and the animal within their species

According to Darwin's Theory of Evolution, yes we are related to apes.

Based on the comparison of DNA, the animals most closely related to humans are Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas, and Oranutans. Of those, the Chimpanzee has the least variation from Human
DNA.

Yes. Chimpanzees are one of the four groups referred to as great apes (also known as hominids), of the family Hominidae. The other members are orangutans, gorillas, and humans (and close relatives).

i am a Muslim and i believe that Hazrat Adam was the first human to step on earth and he was not an ape.

An infant ape is called a baby. Yes, it is simply called a baby.

Estimated population of around 100,000 at that time..Now only around 5500.

Normally just one at a time.

bonoboes i think

The orangutans are the two exclusively Asian species of extant great apes. Their scientific name is Pongo. Though once native to Indonesia and Malaysia, orangutans are an endangered species, now mainly found only in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra.

The same way that all mammals reproduce. Dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, people. The male deposits sperm in the female reproductive organs, where it fertilizes an egg. The egg implants in the womb, and grows until the baby is born.

Typically, apes fight when there is a perceived threat to their territory, or if another ape is trying to win the affections of a female. Apes live in groups and there is usually one dominant male in the "family", and if another ape tries to assert too much control over the family, the dominant male may fight with the other ape to prove his dominance.

You have to be built just so to walk on two legs. Bipedal animals -- those that walk upright -- have a center of gravity close to their hips. Their upper leg bones fit onto the end of the lower leg bone -- on humans, the hinge-like joint created there is called the knee. The result is an energy-efficient posture that allows the bones -- not just muscles -- to help support the weight of a bipedal animal. The first such animal might have been Eudibamus cursoris -- a lizard that flourished briefly about 290 million years ago. It might have run on two feet as a means of escaping larger carnivorous predators. Eudibamus probably died out 80 million years ago -- before there were dinosaurs that could walk on two legs. Scientists think the first mammal that walked upright was the ape-like australopithecines -- believed by scientists to be an ancestor of early humans -- which lived about five million years ago in Africa. Fossils of our human ancestors suggest that the ability to walk upright was an important development. It freed the arms to be used for other purposes -- long before a large, complex brain set hominids apart from other creatures.

Most fruits, plants, and nuts.

Chimpanzees hunt and kill other monkeys for meat.

No you cannot because we have one less pair of chromosomes. Therefore it is impossible for a human to impregnate a monkey.
