What is the relativity between humans and apes?

Question

i'm doing a research project saying that apes are entitled to some basic rights so i was wondering how close are they actually? any suggestions or websites would help alot and i would most of all appreciate it! thanks :)

Answer 1

none

Answer 2

a website on creationism would be interesting where man is given domain over all the animals and that only man is made in God's image.....apes if not trainable are a food product

Answer 3

The apes are fellow mortals just as much as Rabbie Burns's Mouse, and of course, like all animals they are entitled to basic right to life. However I would draw the line at the vote.

Answer 4

Theory of evolution was proved to be better imaginative one.

Refer more materials from genetics and biology.

Man is decedents from the common ancestor spread and inhabited all over the world.

Any way you may better continue your work as you please.

Answer 5

Why dont you try contacting the NAACP I think they already have voting rights!!!!!

Answer 6

Humans and apes have close evolutionary relationship. Modern day apes and humans are the desendent of the same ape. This ape evolved in to three species the apes the modern humans and the old age man. The old man became extinct ages ago. But modern day human and the apes continud to live.

The apes and humans have a lot in similar. We both are quite similar in nature. Apes and human mothers are verry protective about their babies this seen in many other animals so this can not be regarded as a symbol of close similarity but the the adult mother want to take the baby in their hands and touch them. A thing also noticed in human woman. The female in apes are a little less agrasive and more social than males which also present in humans. (I think many men would not like this). We both are also tailless. A rare trait in the higher class animals.

A lot of similarity can be seen between the babies of the two species. Their nature is quite similar. Both babies are very curious and mix quite quickly with each other. The way of playing is also quite similar.

Mental ability is very similar between us. Both are natures most intelligent sreatures. Apes can learn new techineques to survivr in a pariticular environment. Both of us can learn mathematics. Once a group of chimps where kept in a cage with holes of width a little more than that of a twig and were filled with honey. Some twigs were also kept. The apes first tried to get the honey with their hands but they were insucsesful. Then they saw the twigs. One of the chipanze took one of the twig and obsebed it for a few minutes. Then he inserted in the hole and took the honey out seeing this the others also started following this. This experiment proved two things that they can create ways to get food which are normally not found in their natural habitat the second thing it proved was that chimps can watch and learn this is some thing which humans can also do. Many other example can be given for such cases.

Answer 7

Both are primates.  As far as basic rights, any living creature has a right not to be abused.

Answer 8

Humans are apes.  That doesn't mean we have to give other apes human rights.  We are related to rutabagas but we don't give them rights.  

We are about 5-7 million years removed from a chimp.  We had a common ancestor 5-7 million years ago based on the study of the differences in a non-coding region of the mitochondrial DNA.  A gorilla is a few million years more removed and orangutans are twice as distant as chimps.
