unusual facts about Chimpanzee-human last common ancestor



Alastair Fothergill

The first two titles under the Disneynature deal had been, for now, African Cats (2011), Bears (2014) and Chimpanzee (2012), co-directed with Keith Scholey and Mark Linfield respectively.

Altruism in animals

Gibbons and chimpanzees with food will, in response to a gesture, share their food with others of the group.

Ark II

The show had a racially mixed cast, starring Terry Lester as Ark II's commander, Jonah, Jean Marie Hon as Ruth, José Flores as Samuel, and a chimpanzee (owned and trained by Darrell Keener) responding to the name of Adam.

Bernie, Mack, and Louie

Berny, Mac and Louie are chimpanzee actors in MVP: Most Valuable Primate, MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate and MXP: Most Xtreme Primate.

Brain size

However, modern Homo sapiens have a brain volume slightly smaller (1250 cm3) than neanderthals, women have a brain volume slightly smaller than men (see before) and the Flores island hominins (Homo floresiensis), nicknamed hobbits, had a cranial capacity of about 380 cm3 (considered small for a chimpanzee) about a third of that of H. erectus.

Captive Primate Safety Act

Rep. Rob Bishop argued against the bill during the floor debate, noting it would cost $4 million annually and do nothing directly to prevent chimpanzee attacks on humans; he also noted such attacks are relatively rare.

Diosso

Built by the Conoco petroleum company for JGI, Tchimpounga is reputedly the largest chimpanzee sanctuary on the African continent, treating some 125 apes.

Discredited HIV/AIDS origins theories

:In the 1999 version of his OPV AIDS hypothesis, Edward Hooper proposed that early batches of the oral polio vaccine (OPV) grown in cultures of chimpanzee kidney cells, infected with a chimpanzee virus, were the original source of HIV-1 in Central Africa.

Eduard Paul Tratz

Tratz also worked with Heinz Heck on a comparative study examining chimpanzees and bonobos, most of the work for which was done during the Second World War at Munich's Hellabrunn Zoo.

Enterotype

Chimpanzees have enterotypes that are compositionally analogous to those found in humans.

Going Ape

It follows the story of 50 Chimpanzees, 26 Gorillas, seven Baboons and four Mandrills who have been orphaned by the bush meat trade in the West African country of Cameroon showing the vital work of the Mefou National Park and the Limbe Wildlife Centre along with Ape Action Africa (formerly the Cameroon Wildlife Aid Fund) and "In Defence of Animals - Africa", two charities that are dedicated to saving the primates in the region.

Irven DeVore

Professor DeVore was doing field research on the behavior and ecology of baboons in 1959, at the same time Jane Goodall was doing her research on chimpanzees and Robert Ardrey was writing African Genesis, and has also studied the San of southern Africa.

John Bindernagel

He also claims to have heard the creature near Comox Lake in 1992, comparing its whooping sound to that of a chimpanzee.

Lumbar vertebrae

This difference, and because the lumbar spines of Nacholapithecus (a Miocene hominoid with six lumbar vertebrae and no tail) are similar to those of early Australopithecus and early Homo, it can be assumed that the Chimpanzee-human last common ancestor (PHLCA) also had a long axial column with a long lumbar region, and that the reduction in the number of lumbar vertebrae occurred independently in each ape clade.

Mary Chipperfield

In April 1998 the chimpanzee Trudy had been seized by police and taken to the 'Monkey World' sanctuary after allegedly being repeatedly kicked, beaten and made to sleep in a tiny box.

Mercury 2

Mercury-Redstone 2, A sub-orbital spaceflight, carrying Ham (A Chimpanzee).

PCDHY

PCDH11X located on the X chromosome is common, in both sexes, to humans and our nearest relative, the chimpanzee; however, PCDH11Y located on the Y chromosome, is unique to men.

Pierre Brassau

"Pierre Brassau" was in fact a four-year-old common chimpanzee named Peter from Sweden's Borås djurpark zoo.

Primarily Primates

Animals at the shelter include primates formerly used in animal research, chimpanzees retired from the United States Air Force (mostly Holloman Air Force Base) and the NASA space program, and Oliver, a chimpanzee exhibited around the world for many years and often referred to as the "humanzee," because of speculation in the past that he might be part human.

Quest: The History of Spaceflight

Representative articles have featured an unpublished chapter from the James Hansen authorized biography of Neil Armstrong regarding his involvement with the Space Shuttle Challenger accident investigation; the memoirs of Valentina Tereshkova, contributed directly by the first woman in space; Galileo and European interest in positioning and navigation satellites, military use of satellites in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, and the U.S. chimpanzee in space efforts.

Richard Marazano

In 2008 - The Chimpanzee Complex(The chimpanzee Syndrom) is awarded twice for best album and best story in Le Bourget Museum comic's convention.

Scott Helvenston

Helvenston was formerly a personal trainer for Hollywood celebrities such as Demi Moore (for G.I. Jane), and was also featured in the reality shows Combat Missions and Man vs. Beast (in the latter, he completed an obstacle course faster than a chimpanzee).

Simpson Safari

After surviving the plunge over Victoria Falls, the family stumble upon a Chimpanzee sanctuary maintained by the scientist Dr. Joan Bushwell (a parody of Jane Goodall).

Tarzan Finds a Son!

Everyone on the plane dies, except for the baby who is rescued by Cheeta, Tarzan's chimpanzee.

The Thing That Wouldn't Die

The action in the episode directly follows that of the previous two-parter "Mary Loves Scoochie", which ended with Dick transforming Dr. Liam Neesam, a malevolent alien played by John Cleese, into a chimpanzee.

Theophilus Johnson

This was the "first accurate history of the Zoo" and included never before published information concerning the "true story of Jumbo", the "fiasco of the white elephant" and the "fiction of the intellectually-gifted chimpanzee, Sally".

Toshisada Nishida

One major advance in the study of chimpanzee habits came when Nishida discovered that wild chimpanzees consume Aspilia leaves.

While science still described the chimpanzee as a peaceful vegetarian that roamed the forest without any need for social bonds - not unlike Rousseau's noble savages - Nishida had noticed that chimpanzees live a communal life with territorial boundaries and perhaps even hostility between neighbouring unit-groups.

Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams

Various costumed animal dancers surround the unit, such as a tiger, panther, antelope, chimpanzee, cheetah, leopard, and a life-sized rhinoceros along with walking stilt performers dressed as a stylized zebra and giraffe.

Willem Vrolik

He was also the author of highly regarded treatises on the chimpanzee (1841), Hyperoodon (1847), and Manatus americanus (1852).
