Hello classmates and teacher!
Today I’m going to write about an article of the newspaper “The Guardian”, I find a article that talks about chimpanzee.
One of the important topics of Anthropology is about the evolution and language, because language is one of the subjects of study to understand the evolution of the human.
Well, the article read talks about chimpanzees and some abilities that we didn’t know. This theme has relation with Anthropology because we need to know more about monkeys in general because we have the same ancestor.
The main idea of the text is that many animals have the ability to give warning to the others of the group about a danger; the difference of the chimp is that he can differentiate when the others of the herd know or disregard the danger so the reaction is different. If the other don’t know about the hazard they are going to start to scream but if the other know about the danger, they don’t have the same reaction. So, this mean that chimps are more intelligent that we thought because they not only have reflex reactions unless, they can think about the grade of danger that the herd is exposed and according to this, they do the warning alarm.

Interesting article, the chimps are sorprised me! It's real because we don't usually thinks about the grade of danger.
ReplyDeleteand bonobos are more intelligent? jejeje.. really nice, some studies said that chimps have some protolanguage..
ReplyDeleteIs very interesting, I think that the chimpanzees intelligence is not questionable, any animal that that does not kill for wealth or selfishness, is more intelligent that the human, to me
ReplyDeleteIt's quite interesting to think that they can also distinguish danger levels. It's a good strategy for keeping yourself and the group alive, for them to run when it's really necesary and not at sight of anything.
ReplyDeletehello baru!
ReplyDeletethe chimps sorprise me a lot, this year in the subject of linguistics we learned about the bonobo's relationships, and they are amazing
the chimps, the bonobos and we, are big brothers
