CHIMPANZEE
- Merlin was an abandoned monkey raised by a human being. He used to respond the same way to his mother like a human child would do. He responded to her smile and walked along with her by grasping her finger. After a few months, the baby monkey started to show finger coordination as he tried to climb the tree, picked small leaves out of plants to eat, and started to use echo to locate larva. The experiment was quite fascinating, where two people pointed at the cups as one of them had a cooker under it. Merling chose the cup pointed by the lady whose head was not covered as she could see where the cooker was being hidden. Monkies can judge things, but they don’t know the intention of people. Their intelligence makes us think about what we are. It takes six years for them to master the art of breaking something to eat with the help of wood or rock. The monkey has also seen a painting by hand and even was soaking the clothes in water to have fun.
- The chimpanzee population has dramatically decreased in West Africa, and they need as the writer claims that even though they are not humans, but they are not that different. Chimpanzees have cognitive powers, feelings, and self-awareness. Every month researchers get to know something new about them that claims that their behaviour matches ours. Giving them rights would be thorny just now. They have different communicative range. They use their name signs as they remember the past and remember the people they haven’t seen for a few years. The same parts of our brains are utilized. They use signs to call someone who looks away. They are capable of altruism, and they also feel pain, love, anger, or affection. (Keim, 2008)
