Extractions: Supplemental Lecture (97/05/04 update) by Stephen T. Abedon abedon.1@osu.edu Chapter title : Descent of Man A list of vocabulary words is found toward the end of this document Homo sapiens did not appear on the earth, just a geologic second ago, because evolutionary theory predicts such an outcome based on themes of progress and increasing neural complexity. Humans arose, rather, as a fortuitous and contingent outcome of thousands of linked events, any one of which could have occurred differently and sent history on an alternative pathway that would not have led to consciousness. To cite just four among a multitude: If our inconspicuous and fragile lineage had not been among the few survivors of the initial radiation of multicellular animal life in the Cambrian explosion 530 million years ago, then no vertebrates would have inhabited the earth at all. If a small and unpromising group of lobe-finned fishes had not evolved fin bones with a strong central axis capable of bearing weight on land, then vertebrates might never have become terrestrial. If a large extraterrestrial body had not struck the earth 65 million years ago, then dinosaurs would still be dominant and mammals insignificant (the situation that had prevailed for 100 million years previously).

Extractions: On December 10, 1998, five American heroes, chimpanzee retirees from the U.S. Air Force Space Program, will be coming home to Primarily Primates, a sanctuary for unwanted animals. Unlike the astronauts John Glen or Buzz Aldrin whose names you might recognize, GiGi, Hope, Lisa, Betty and Rosemary are five chimpanzee members of the former space program chimpanzee colony whose names are unknown or have been forgotten. They will, however, be the first space program chimpanzees to be given permanent lifetime retirement at Primarily Primates. They are the ambassadors in our campaign to retire 30 chimpanzees awarded to Primarily Primates for retirement by the U.S. Air Force. Originally, they were part of a colony of 141 chimpanzees owned by the U.S. Air Force. In the 1960's, the Air Force acquired a large colony of chimpanzees to test the effects of space travel. When the chimpanzees were no longer needed for the space program, they were leased to various research facilities where they were used for biomedical research. They were among the first chimpanzees to be used for research on Hepatitis and AIDS. In 1997, the U.S. Air Force put out a Request For Proposals to divest the colony of chimpanzees. Literally, the chimpanzees were being forced out of "service." Of four organizations that attempted to gain custody of the chimpanzees, only two qualified: Primarily Primates and the Coulston Foundation.

Extractions: Chimpanzees doing fractions? Language and math skills have long been thought to be solely human abilities, but an Ohio State University researcher has taught some chimpanzees to solve simple arithmetic problems. Primatologist Sally Boysen, who has been working with chimpanzees for many years, shows that the chimps are truly processing the information and not just learning by rote. Boysen's discoveries mean we may have to re-evaluate how we think about primate intelligence. Trainers typically reward any motion made by the animal that takes it closer to the desired behavior. For example, you would never train a lion to jump through a flaming hoop by holding up a hoop and telling the animal to "jump through." You'd have to break the task into separate components. First, you would probably have to train the animal to jump. Next, you might have the animal jump over a low stick. Slowly, you would work up to a hoop, and finally, introduce fire. Rewards would be constant throughout the process.

FOW Human Primates - Roger Fouts Text
The project now focuses on the signing of its five sign language using chimpanzeeswho live together as a social group Washoe, Moja, Tatu, Dar and Loulis.
http://friendsofwashoe.org/textsite/rsfbiot.htm

Extractions: Roger and Deborah Fouts are co-directors of the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute. In addition Roger is a Professor of Psychology and is a CWU Distinguished Research Professor. The Foutses have been a part of Project Washoe since 1967. Project Washoe is the first and longest running project of its kind. Washoe was the very first nonhuman animal to acquire a human language, American Sign Language for the Deaf (ASL). The project now focuses on the signing of its five sign language using chimpanzees who live together as a social group: Washoe, Moja, Tatu, Dar and Loulis. Just as humans do, the chimpanzees use the signs of ASL in their interactions with humans and with each other, to comment on their environment, to make requests, answer questions and describe activities and objects. Loulis acquired his signs from his adoptive mother Washoe and the other chimpanzees, becoming the first chimpanzee to acquire a human language from chimpanzees thus demonstrating the ability of the chimpanzee to culturally transmit a language across generations. The Foutses are very active in their efforts to improve the living conditions and treatment of chimpanzees in captivity by developing and promoting humane care techniques and programs. In addition, they are active in efforts to protect the wild chimpanzee in Africa. The Foutses played a role in the U. S. Fish and Wildlife officially raising of chimpanzees in Africa from "Threatened" to "Endangered" species status. The Foutses are very active in the Sanctuary movement to provide for chimpanzees used in and retired from the Air Force Space program and other biomedical research. They are active as well in promoting basic rights for Great Apes, as founding members of the Great Ape Project.

http://deafness.about.com/library/weekly/aa022701.htm

Extractions: Your next conversation in sign language may be with someone not quite human. Since the late 60s, chimpanzees and gorillas have been learning a modified form of sign language, taught by patient humans. It all began with Washoe the chimpanzee in the sixties, followed by the gorillas Koko and Michael (now deceased). Washoe learned a little over a hundred signs, but Koko learned over 1,000 signs. Not bad for a non-human. Washoe's long sign language-using career has been chronicled by Roger Fouts in his book,"
