PDF-(READ)-Chimpanzees and Human Evolution

Knowledge of chimpanzees in the wild has expanded dramatically in recent years This comprehensive volume edited by Martin Muller Richard Wrangham and David Pilbeam brings together scientists who are leading a revolution to discover and explain what is unique about humans by studying their closest living relatives Their observations and conclusions have the potential to transform our understanding of human evolutionChimpanzees offer scientists an unmatched view of what distinguishes humanity from its apelike ancestors Based on evidence from the hominin fossil record and extensive morphological developmental and genetic data Chimpanzees and Human Evolution makes the case that the last common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans was chimpanzeelike It most likely lived in African rainforests around eight million years ago eating fruit and walking on its knuckles Readers will learn why chimpanzees are a better model for the last common ancestor than bonobos gorillas or orangutans A thorough chapterbychapter analysis reveals which key traits we share with chimpanzees and which appear to be distinctive to Homo sapiens and shows how understanding chimpanzees helps us account for the evolution of human uniqueness Traits surveyed include social behaviors and structures mating systems diet hunting practices tool use culture cognition and communicationEdited by three of primatologys most renowned experts with contributions from 32 scholars drawing on decades of field research Chimpanzees and Human Evolution provides readers with detailed uptodate information on what we can infer about our chimpanzeelike ancestors and points the way forward for the next generation of discoveries.

They are also occasionally used in entertainment. The scope of these Chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than they are to gorillas. Chimpanzees and humans share 99 percent of their genetic composition. Chimpanzees are highly intelligent, probably more s R.M. . Strumpf. and C. . Boesch. Summary and presentation by:.
