What do are you hearing when you hold a seashell to your ear?
When you put a seashell next to your ear, it's the sound of your blood surging in your veins, not the ocean.
http://www.howstuffworks.com/question556.htm
" Some people have suggested that the sound you hear from the seashell is the echoing of your blood rushing through the blood vessels of your ear. That is not the case. If that were true, then the sound would intensify after exercising, since your blood races faster after exercising. However, the sound is the same even after exercising.
Others say that the whooshing sound inside the shell is generated by air flowing through the shell - air flowing through the shell and out creates a noise. You'll notice that the sound is louder when you lift the shell slightly away from your ear than it is when the shell is right against your head. However, this theory doesn't hold true in a soundproof room. In a soundproof room, there is still air, but when you hold the seashell to your ear, there's no sound.
The most likely explanation for the wave-like noise is ambient noise from around you. The seashell that you are holding just slightly above your ear captures this noise, which resonates inside the shell. The size and shape of the shell therefore has some effect on the sound you hear. Different shells sound different because different shells accentuate different frequencies. You don't even need the seashell to hear the noise. You can produce the same "ocean" sound using an empty cup or even by cupping your hand over your ear. Go ahead and try it and vary the distance at which you place the cup near your ear. The level of the sound will vary depending on the angle and distance the cup is from your ear.
Noise from outside the shell also can change the intensity of the sound you hear inside the shell. You can look at the shell as a resonating chamber. When sound from outside enters the shell, it bounces around, thus creating an audible noise. So, the louder the environment you are in, the louder the ocean-like sound will be. "

When did apes and hominids diverge?
The first fossil remains that have been found were dated around 4.4 million years ago. These were the fossils of Ardipithecus Ramidus, which lived 1 million years before the last fossils that were found.
Are chimpanzees and monkeys the same thing?
No! Chimpanzees are great apes, along with Bonobos, Gorillas, Orangutans, and Humans. Monkeys are physically quite different from apes--one of the easiest ways to tell a monkey from an ape is that a monkey has a tail. An ape does not.
How does the chimpanzee do respiration?
The chinchilla receives oxygen through an opening in the anal cavity and CO2 is expelled through the nasal cavity.

Did you evolve from chimpanzees?
Considering humans and apes share 98% of their DNA, it is highly probable that we evolved from apes.
Althoug humans may have evolved from apes, it is more likelt that we are both descended from a common ancestor.
Chimpanzees are just like most animals, where they dont have to do anything spacific, they are just part of the food chain. So some animals eat chimps, and chips eat some other animals and fruits. If there are'nt any chimps, then some animals that eat chimps will die. Then the animals that eat the animals that eat the chimps will die, and so on and so fourth. So the way the chimps help the environment is by keeping their part in the food chain in balance. So by us tearing down their homes, we are killing them. And, again, if they die out, then so will the next animal in the food chain, and the next, and the next, all the way up to us! In other words, by killing the chimps, we are killing ourselves.This was written by Sydney, TN.
Are chimpanzees allowed in Utah as pets?
Chimpanzees cannot be pets. As babies, they are easy to care for and can pretty much be raised as a human child. However, once they reach adolescence, they become 7-10 times stronger than a human. No matter how loving a relationship a chimp has with their human family, there is always the possibility they will lose their temper and attack, or attack a neighbour. Not even the trainers in Hollywood can handle them after this, and usually get rid of them or keep them in cages their whole lives after a childhood of severe abuse.
Also, it is not kind to the chimp. When they become too strong to handle, many zoos cannot take pet chimps, because chimps learn their social skills from watching the members of their community as they get older, and they do not know how to interact properly with other chimps. They also cannot be put into the wild for this reason. Sanctuaries are usually full to capacity. Some owners are so desperate they resort to sending their chimp to a biomedical lab to be used as a research subject. Not to mention the fact that these baby chimps are taken from their mothers to be raised by humans. This has exactly the same effect it would on a human mother and child.
Chimps are also very endangered in the wild, and keeping them as pets gives the impression that the species is stable, when nothing could be further from the truth.
If you love chimps, do some research and help protect them in the wild, or fundraise or volunteer for a sanctuary. But never ever ever get a pet chimp. It ends badly for all involved.
