    Extractions: Humans seem to acquire language in a manner different from other types of behavioral learning. The onset of language learning is sudden (around the age of 2). We learn our native language without instruction, in fact, we can learn 2-3 languages at that age as easily as one. If we do not learn to speak between the ages of 2 and 6, it appears that we lose the ability to speak normally the rest of our lives. All this evidence suggests that we have a ' language organ ' which other species do not possess, a segment of our brain which is triggered by a stage of development, much the same as walking is. A simple way to disprove this Innateness Hypothesis, as linguists call it, is to demonstrate that other species have the capacity to speak but for some reason simply have not developed speech. A logical candidate for such a species is the chimpanzee, which shares 98.4% of the human genetic code. Chimpanzees cannot speak because, unlike humans, their vocal cords are located higher in their throats and cannot be controlled as well as human vocal cords. It does not follow from their lack of speech, however, that chimpanzees are incapable of language, that is a human-like grammar. Perhaps they can acquire grammar and speak if they could only use grammar some way other than with a voice. The obvious alternative is sign language, since all primates have extremely dexterous hands and sign language is a language. You have probably already read about the regular chimpanzees

    Extractions: WHAT IS LANGUAGE LANGUAGE IN NON-HUMAN SPECIES INTERMEDIATE STAGES BIBLIOGRAPHY ... PRIMATES HELPING PRIMATES From Africa to Southeast Asia the worlds great apes are in danger of becoming extinct. The UN is on a mission to save these precious animals, gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos, from dying off. Great apes still live in 23 countries and experts working to save the last great apes in the wild are hoping to keep it that way. Conservationists led by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) have launched a global effort to save the great apes from extinction in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. The Great Apes Survival Project (GRASP) targets 23 areas where gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, bonobos, and other primates are near extinction as a result of war, habitat destruction, and poaching for trophies, souvenirs, and meat. It seems grotesque that the peaceful bonobos cannot escape the chaos of civil war in Congo. Pacifism happens to be the principal attribute of bonobos, very unlike their aggressive human relatives. Experts estimates that in five to ten years some of these primates will be extinct across most of their range. Not one species of primates has been lost in the past century, but now 25 species of apes, monkeys, lemurs and other primates are imperiled and may soon disappear.

    Extractions: Orangutans’ feet have long curved toes for holding branches and moving from tree to tree. When they are on the ground, they walk on the edges of their feet and not flat on the ground, which makes walking clumsy. They also don’t have thick skin on the backs of their hands like gorillas and chimps to help them walk on their knuckles.

    Extractions: Search our Site P RIMATES I N P ERIL Sally is one of a group of thirteen primates who arrived at WW last spring Primates throughout the world are facing loss of habitat, catastrophic reduction in their populations, and continued pressure by man. The great apes are particularly at risk. Great apes include the Orangutan (Pongo pygmacus), the mountain gorilla (Gorilla gorilla berengi), the western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla), the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), and the pygmy chimpanzee (Pan paniscus), and many species of gibbons. Chimpanzees are man's closest living relatives with DNA structures 97 to 99% identical to man. Generally speaking, we have not been treating our relatives very well. O RANGUTAN The Orangutan once numbered in the hundreds of thousands and ranged from southern China throughout Southeast Asia. Today they number approximately 20,000 in isolated populations on the islands of Sumatra (Pongo pygmaeus abelli) and the island of Borneo (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) The Orangutan, which translates from Malay as "forest man", is mainly a solitary animal. Solitary animals need larger ranges in foraging and this conflicts with these islands' human populations which clear cut large areas for timber export. Poachers also kill the mothers and take the babies to sell into the pet trade. The orangutan is listed as endangered by US Fish and Wildlife and CITES. M OUNTAIN G ORILLA The mountain gorilla faces severe pressure in much of its current home range. It is found in isolated family groups in the Virungas mountains of Zaire and Rwanda and in portions of Uganda. Civil war in Zaire and Rwanda has severely reduced protection of these animals. However, except for one or two isolated instances early in the war, the populations do not appear to be in current danger from the military. The total wild population is estimated at slightly over 600 animals. The mountain gorilla is listed as highly endangered due to habitat reduction by encroaching human populations and poaching.

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.
