PPT-Chimp minds: Suspiciously human

Two possible reasons why chimp and human minds appear to be so similar They are Argument from biological parsimony BP Humans and chimps are closely related so similarity in brain and mental functions is not unexpected. Skepticism. Last time we talked about what might be called “global” skepticism– skepticism that anything at all can be known. . We considered several responses to arguments for skepticism: accepting skepticism, accepting idealism, or simply denying that skeptical arguments have any force (Moore’s response).. HEADLINES.

When the baby is born it clings onto the breast of his mother. The baby chimp can stand by 6 months. The chimp is born with a red face and a white hair tuft on its backside. The baby chimp is carried by its mother on her front side for a period of between three and six months. As the baby grows it begins to ride on the mothers back. Baby chips are weamed between 4.5 and 5.5 years. . What Darwin never knew (switches) video. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/darwin-never-knew.html. Watch 1:44:00 to 1:49:15.
