All mammals have a DNA and an RNA structure! abbreviated C,G,A,T. Groups of three of these at a time are ‘read’ by complex translation machinery in the cell to determine the sequence of 20 different types of amino acids to be incorporated into proteins. The human DNA has at least 3,000,000,000 nucleotides in sequence. Starfish DNA has not been anywhere near fully sequenced so that a proper comparison can be made (using a lot of computer time to do it Cont'
@lone1878 I'm just surprised with people, they do overestimate a lot a chimp just because a woman was mauled, and underestimate humans capabilities, maybe chimps are stronger in the upper body, but do you know that we have a much more stronger legs? Adrenaline? A human mom could kill a chimp just to protect her baby.
@junkintrunk55 show me some evidence or sources saying that. starfishs, and echinoderms in general, are relatively similar to us, and other chordates, when compared to things like insects. the too phylums of echinoderms (which includes starfish) and chordates (includes humans) are both grouped together as dueterstomes. so yes starfish are relatively similar to us for a non-chordate but i highly doubt in 90%, i would guess higher 70s range. learn biology.
@umidontno040394 Ok, since I have a PhD in the area, lets get specific. What specific part? Are you speaking of DNA? Or the sequencing? I believe you will find your 70% is in the sequencing, not in the makeup of the DNA. You can make any argument right, if you chose a different apple to my orange. DNA is nothing more than what it is made of in sequence. As no 2 DNA's match, though in the same structure, should give you ample evidence that your DNA does not match a Starfish. Cont'
@umidontno040394 (Imagine comparing two sets of 1000 large books, sentence by sentence, for similarities and differences!).-Sibley and Ahlquist, 1987, J. Molec. Evol. 26:99–121). The resulting hybrid duplex material is then separated from single–strand DNA remaining and heated in 2 to 3 degree increments from 55o to 95o C, and the amount of DNA separating at each temperature is measured and totaled, comparing it to human–human DNA re–formed as duplex.
@umidontno040394 of the human DNA is recovered with heating from the human–starfish hybrid, compared to the human-human DNA, then there is said to be 90% normalized percentage hybridization. So depending on how you want to state it, A starfish could be 70% or above the 90% mark.
Still conceding to you, does anyone realize how incredible many genes we share with a starfish? Or from the other end, how much different we are from monkeys?
@junkintrunk55 hmmm, well i guess you are informed of biology. obviously alot more than me. so what are you talking about in similarities, in that there are many different ways to look at it. what is the difference of the dna and the sequencing? can you explain all the different ways of looking at it? and in a case of a starfish being 9)% similar, wouldnt that make all chordates like 96%?
also, i cant remember you first comment, were you trying to say that evolution wasn't real?
@junkintrunk55 so do ALL living things have the same molecules but different sequences? is the sequence what makes something, something? is our sequence what is 98% the same as chimps?
This is definitely why chimps can't be kept in residential settings. Imagine if a female chimpanzee felt she was dominant over a woman with a human baby and wanted to kill the human baby. Based on how that Charla Nash, who was attacked and had her face ripped off from her friend's chimpanzee Travis looked when she appeared on Oprah, do you really think a female human can protect her baby from a female chimpanzee without the use of a firearm? I think not!
I'm very well aware that chimps are way stronger than humans in every regard, like you said. I'm sorry I didn't clarify my statement. I only mentioned female human vs. female chimp because male chimps rarely commit infanticide in their own troops, because of the fact they're never sure which offspring they sired, because females mate with multiple males
Im interested to know if they understand the observation being undertaken by the humans (camera crew(s) ).
Perhaps far fetched to some, is it possible chimps being observed show slightly different behaviors as humans do when "on camera" or in the presence of visitors.
Im sure you have all experienced it, the awkwardness of being present as a third party in an argument or the behavioral change whether it be a shy or dramatic display in front of a camera?
I didnt understand either why someone didnt help Gremlin. But perhaps it was a policy of non intervention and to let Gremlin sort it out herself would mean Gremlin was respected more.

I simply MUST take to task the following members: 1) "Galahad" What a worthless piece of shit, cowardly - embarrassment to true Alfa Male Chimpanzees Galahad is.

That's very, very dangerous to be that close to Chimpanzees. I'm surprised the males don't rip the crew to pieces since their so aggressive and territorial.
You are right however, monkeys are classified as having a tail. Chimps, gorillas and orangutans are apes, as they lack a tail and their facial features differ due to evolution.
@loner1878 actually apes come from monkeys (not modern monkeys, of course) so that means they are monkeys and will always be no matter how much they change. the might diverge as much as they want, but they can never detach. therefore apes ARE monkeys.
@loner1878 yes but it still should be legit to call them monkeys. i mean, can you look at a chimpanzee swinging from tree to tree, eating fruits, jumping, makking lots of noise, and say that it's NOT a monkey? it is. i think apes should be a sub-species or monkey, instead of being a different lineage
Okay, wow. I think I lost a few IQ points reading your last comment.
Both monkeys and apes belong to the Primate family. They make look similar, but have many differences. The distinction between apeas and monkeys has more to do with taxonomy than observable differences.
- Apes are : Humans, Chimps, Gorillas, Orangutans and Gibbons.
- Monkeys are all primates non-apes and non-prosimians (lemurs)
@loner1878 I already know those differences. that still doesn't make apes a seperate lineage from monkeys. For example, one of the reasons that humans are apes is because the common ancestor of other apes and humans was technically an ape, so if all their descendents are apes, then we should be apes too, since we are also descended from them. Apply that logic, replacing the word "human(s)" with "apes" and "apes" with "monkeys"
Of course they're not a separate lineage, they're both primates. Just like wolves and dogs are both canines. Somehow I doubt you would use those two terms interchangeably.
BTW, Humans are considered apes. I pointed that out.
@loner1878 I wouldn't say they are "interchangeable" because the "APE" group is WITHIN the monkeys (in my opinion). So, for example, all vertebrates are creatures, but not all creature are vertabrates (sorry If I spelled it wrong), you get me? So all apes are monkeys, but not all monkeys are apes.
They want to get rid of the babys because if the babys get to live the mother(gremlin) will get protection from the alpha male and rise in ranks. above the pregnant one. if she eliminates the babys she will win the alpha male. the situation arised becouse gremlin had twins. if both had 1 baby each this would not happen . the pregnant would still be more powerfull and kept her rank.
Il: Thank you for your informed response. Too many people make too much of the data--just a common ancestor, nothing more. In close study, human and chimp biologies diviate, too. Also, the Human ape wants to be more than it is, and succeeds at such. But why? That is the question that thus far, cannot be answered. That magic spark of Human-ness. Will we ever have an answer? Perhaps not.
to all the jesus freaks we werent made from adam and eve if you rember in the bible they only had to sons thus no childeren your own faith is very flawed just beleve in evelation
apparently you took the bible literally when it spoke about two names. Then you foolishly make your naive statement based on a false premise. You actually had the balls to say that Evolution and God are two different things. You have a lot of work to do my blind fellow.
To the poster of these clips: Why title them "Monkeys..." Chimpanzees are NOT monkeys. As primates and members of the great Ape family, they are much closer to us than to monkeys.
how do you figure they are closer to us than they are to monkeys? Does your family act and look like that?? You should put them on youtube and see if they get more views
Well, the reason I say they are closer to us than they are to monkeys is that they branched off from monkeys a much longer time ago on the evolutionary scale than they did from us, and they share over 99% of our DNA, from what I've read. If you want to stop trying to sound smart and actually be smart, You might read Frans De Waal's "Chimpanzee Politics," to start with. In fact, it is really very chimp-like of you to feel the need to one up me just because you encountered me in the same "space".
So what your telling me if those chimps had 1% more they would be able to build a world like us, thats a load of shit....you can believe that if you want but I don't. An dits not chimp like for me to be one up it is very human like....the three traits all humans have are selfishness, heidonistic, and being greedy.
Evil: Depending on the source, it's 98% to 98.6%. Too many folks think that means more than it does. You see, each species uses the DNA differently and thus, DNA does not = near-match. Humans are far and apart from the chimpanzee. Even Jane Goodall comments that Human to chimp is an "unbridgeable chasm."
Chimps sit, scream, and shit. Humans build cities, do math, go to Mars and beyond.....no end in sight.
I was responding to the statement chimps are closer to us than monkeys, maybe DNA but as far as standard of living, chimps are definately closer to monkeys.
@Amelikan Well obviously you need to get out more and get a life and education before making useless comments, if your life is as dull as your comments I would just jump off a bridge
animals don`t exist to be cute... you are a monster for think that way... they are protecting her babies, naturally, could you?... I agree whit "aliveinsd"
I believe animals have an inner instinct that humans know nothing about, such as knowing a drought is coming, possible lack of food for the whole troop, sickness, it a matter of survival of the healthiest, strongest.....
Yes. Animals with less-developed brains do seem to possess abilities that Humans lack. However, Human's big brain and fine motor movements have made them the World Champs of survival. The best situation would be to immulate the Dog, by becoming an ally to Humans, adding their +'s to Human -'s; And viceversa, of course. If Chimps had made themselves indispensable to Humans, there would certainly be more chimps, and with a better prognosis for longterm survival, too.
Gombe is a preserve, not a zoo. Interfering with a subject would be against scientific protocol. Jane Goodall has been criticised for giving bananas to the apes. Observation only is the rule...but, take a look at 1:39. The attack breaks off and there's a break in the video action. I believe that the camera crew just couldn't sit by and watch, but did throw something at the attacking animals. Jane Goodall admits to saving one chimp from cannibals in such a manner. Not allowed?
i remember watching animal documentaries as a kid and crying seeing some of the footage....i understand the argument but i have grown to believe it depends on your perspective on human responsibility...are we here to care for the animals and planet???
I understand your perspective from a "humane" observation. But to the chimps, they simply missed out on a meal. They are just animals and thus, do not know any better, and require no excuses/apologies. Only Humans commit "crime," and are prosecuted, as we know the difference between right/wrong. You heart is in the right place, though.
Chimps actually do know right from wrong. So do many other animals. Cannabalism umong chimps, especially females trying to eat others babies, is extremely rare, stemming from having highly abusive and unnattentive parents. Humans should not interfere with such instances because they are not naturally there, and should continue recording such extreme experiences for research sutdies. Allthough it would be incredibly hard not to stop it if they were killing the babies, interference is not ok.
Cannibalism and slaughter are common between rival groups, but somewhat common among females of the same group. No. Animals can be trained to fear punishment for what Humans perceive to be wrong, but cannot themselves understand it. Instincts are at play, always. It is really unfair to call them "Cannibals," as it reads accusatory. They are simply after a meal. Read Elizabeth Hess's "Nim Chimpsky." It's a revelation on ape behavior. In no way Human.
What is mean? These are animals. They don't know any better. If they did, they should be tried in court for murder and then, hanged by the neck until dead. Animals do things that disgust we Humans, but the animal can't be held accountable if it cannot understand its "crime." This is why chimps cannot be Humans. They could not understand, nor have any regard for, the rights of (other) Humans. Just animals.
Just so you know aliveinsd chimps are the only primates aside from humans that kill their own kind. And chimps are the primates that are most closely related to humans, so.....there you go......
Actually there is a lot of primates who commits infanticide.. well all the primates with indirect food compitition between female and with strong polygyny organisation like gorilla or langurs..
I wasn't referring in particular to infanticide i was talking more in general... about killing their own kind, event though i just found out today that spider monkeys may do it too but is not sure. What is fact is that the two primates that wage war and kill their own are chimps and humans.
The key words here are "knowledge and forethought." The apes do not have knowledge or forethought of "wrongdoing." They are just animals--no excuses needed. They have no courts to be tried for their "crimes." Only Humans have forethought and knowledge that they are doing "wrong" in the eyes of God and moral society. Thus, Humans are culpable for their crimes. Chimpanzees cannot be held accountable for "cannibalism," or "murder." They have no concept of right and wrong. Just animals.
How do you know they don't have the knowledge? Have you talked to chimps? Obviously they do have the forethought because they get together and kill other male chimps from other groups, & that is what i mean with waging war (war needs planing of some sort, if not then it would just be a fight). Of course, they do not know anything about right or wrong, or maybe they do. Maybe they have their own sets morals and for them what they are doing is right and good. We will never know.
NO, lelucha, You need to take some courses in animal husbandry. Do you know what a Dog is? Dogs kill Dogs, for example. Did you know that a Mouse's DNA is 90% identical to Human DNA? So, don't be led astray by PETA and other $ begging drivel of animal groups. They lie to get $. That does not mean that animal cruelty is okay. Be kind to all God's creatures, but with common sense, please. Too many good persons have been hurt by misinformation.
aliveinsd i really have no idea what you are responding to this... and yeah i know what a dog is and i am not talking about animals... i'm talking about primates...
I am not sure why you are responding as if i said something about animal cruelty I am completely against any kind on crulety on any creature...
I don't even know what a mouse's DNA has anything to do with this video (Humans have similar DNA to many animals)... All of our responses seem all over the place...
From your speech, I felt that you were a misguided young person. Sorry. It seems that you are more than what I thought. We may never know everything about chimps, but what we do know is that they are "closest" to Human, but very, very far from being Human. When people suggest chimp as Human, it makes more people want to have chimps as pets = disaster. So, my point is simply to set the record straight, while protecting more chimps from captivity for pets/entertainment.
Oh ok... English is not my first language so it is a bit complicated for me to communicate. And yes i agree on the fact that chimps are chimps and should be kept in their natural habitat.
People kill each other, and sometimes people eat each other. It isn't ok, but our cultures explain it is because the other people are "evil" or so we can "win" a war. Killing isn't alright, but we do it as much as chimps do.
Humans understand right from wrong, and make choices. We know that God and justice are to be reckoned with. Animals (chimps) haven't such complex thoughts, simply killing to clear out more feeding ground/threats. Humans have police, courts, and conscience. Chimps and Human similarities are only passing. Do some reading on the subject ,as I did. Jane Goodall points out that the "Difference between chimp and Human is an unbrideable chasm." We are not chimps, nor they us.
all you ppl can stop commenting on what I said did I put a question mark at the end no so you dont have to answer it I was just commenting I have that right you know
Well, ta2joe: You'll likely get your wish...sooner or later. At current pace, apes should be extinct in the wild in about 10-years time. Most African's do not poach apes, as they prefer chimps fried or grilled. Stewed chimp with green's is a popular comb0 platter. (that's a joke, son)
Yes, chimps get "meat" protein from a variety of sources: Ants, termites, insects, Colobus monkey, bush baby, and cannibalism of baby chimps. Cannibalism is listed last because it is the chimp's least-used food source. Cannibalism is not exclusive to females. Males too have been known to kill and eat "foreign group" baby chimps.
It "appears"???? Half the people watching video on YouTube can barely get out of bed every morning under the weight of their own stupidity. How does this surprise you?
This episode should have been titled "Meat for Dinner." The attacking females are cannibals. There intent is to supplement their vegetarian diet with meat. Chimps are simply animals and thus, no excuse for them is needed. Want payback anyway? Pregnant "Fifi's" baby died from complications associated with mange.
Where did you get the info on FiFi's baby dieing? Also they are not cannibals as in they do not eat other chimps but they do however eat a certain type of monkey when they get the chance.
Finally, your reasoning is in each case, just you stating your opinion and you don't even point to *anything* objective to back up such opinions. You are certainly entitled to your opinions but keep in mind that absent proof, your opinions are just that - opinions.

@loner1878 yes but it still should be legit to call them monkeys. i mean, can you look at a chimpanzee swinging from tree to tree, eating fruits, jumping, makking lots of noise, and say that it's NOT a monkey? it is. i think apes should be a sub-species or monkey, instead of being a different lineage

@Tazy50
Okay, wow. I think I lost a few IQ points reading your last comment.
Both monkeys and apes belong to the Primate family. They make look similar, but have many differences. The distinction between apeas and monkeys has more to do with taxonomy than observable differences.
- Apes are : Humans, Chimps, Gorillas, Orangutans and Gibbons.
- Monkeys are all primates non-apes and non-prosimians (lemurs)
loner1878 9 months ago
@Tazy50
Some basic differences to help you out:
-Apes are more intelligent than monkeys
- Monkeys have tails and apes do not.
- Monkeys have slanted nasal openings while apes have rounded nasal openings
- Apes generally have bigger brains and larger bodies than monkeys
- Monkeys have webbed feet, apes do not
-Apes possess opposable thumbs like the humans do. Monkeys do not have opposable thumbs.
loner1878 9 months ago
@loner1878 I already know those differences. that still doesn't make apes a seperate lineage from monkeys. For example, one of the reasons that humans are apes is because the common ancestor of other apes and humans was technically an ape, so if all their descendents are apes, then we should be apes too, since we are also descended from them. Apply that logic, replacing the word "human(s)" with "apes" and "apes" with "monkeys"
Tazy50 9 months ago
@Tazy50
Of course they're not a separate lineage, they're both primates. Just like wolves and dogs are both canines. Somehow I doubt you would use those two terms interchangeably.
BTW, Humans are considered apes. I pointed that out.
loner1878 9 months ago
@loner1878 I wouldn't say they are "interchangeable" because the "APE" group is WITHIN the monkeys (in my opinion). So, for example, all vertebrates are creatures, but not all creature are vertabrates (sorry If I spelled it wrong), you get me? So all apes are monkeys, but not all monkeys are apes.

They want to get rid of the babys because if the babys get to live the mother(gremlin) will get protection from the alpha male and rise in ranks. above the pregnant one. if she eliminates the babys she will win the alpha male. the situation arised becouse gremlin had twins. if both had 1 baby each this would not happen . the pregnant would still be more powerfull and kept her rank.

Il: Thank you for your informed response. Too many people make too much of the data--just a common ancestor, nothing more. In close study, human and chimp biologies diviate, too. Also, the Human ape wants to be more than it is, and succeeds at such. But why? That is the question that thus far, cannot be answered. That magic spark of Human-ness. Will we ever have an answer? Perhaps not.

evilgrin07 2 years ago
Well, the reason I say they are closer to us than they are to monkeys is that they branched off from monkeys a much longer time ago on the evolutionary scale than they did from us, and they share over 99% of our DNA, from what I've read. If you want to stop trying to sound smart and actually be smart, You might read Frans De Waal's "Chimpanzee Politics," to start with. In fact, it is really very chimp-like of you to feel the need to one up me just because you encountered me in the same "space".

evilgrin07 2 years ago
Evil: Depending on the source, it's 98% to 98.6%. Too many folks think that means more than it does. You see, each species uses the DNA differently and thus, DNA does not = near-match. Humans are far and apart from the chimpanzee. Even Jane Goodall comments that Human to chimp is an "unbridgeable chasm."
Chimps sit, scream, and shit. Humans build cities, do math, go to Mars and beyond.....no end in sight.

Yes. Animals with less-developed brains do seem to possess abilities that Humans lack. However, Human's big brain and fine motor movements have made them the World Champs of survival. The best situation would be to immulate the Dog, by becoming an ally to Humans, adding their +'s to Human -'s; And viceversa, of course. If Chimps had made themselves indispensable to Humans, there would certainly be more chimps, and with a better prognosis for longterm survival, too.

Gombe is a preserve, not a zoo. Interfering with a subject would be against scientific protocol. Jane Goodall has been criticised for giving bananas to the apes. Observation only is the rule...but, take a look at 1:39. The attack breaks off and there's a break in the video action. I believe that the camera crew just couldn't sit by and watch, but did throw something at the attacking animals. Jane Goodall admits to saving one chimp from cannibals in such a manner. Not allowed?

lumpfish99 2 years ago
I understand your perspective from a "humane" observation. But to the chimps, they simply missed out on a meal. They are just animals and thus, do not know any better, and require no excuses/apologies. Only Humans commit "crime," and are prosecuted, as we know the difference between right/wrong. You heart is in the right place, though.
aliveinsd 2 years ago
Chimps actually do know right from wrong. So do many other animals. Cannabalism umong chimps, especially females trying to eat others babies, is extremely rare, stemming from having highly abusive and unnattentive parents. Humans should not interfere with such instances because they are not naturally there, and should continue recording such extreme experiences for research sutdies. Allthough it would be incredibly hard not to stop it if they were killing the babies, interference is not ok.
ashkatz 2 years ago 3
Cannibalism and slaughter are common between rival groups, but somewhat common among females of the same group. No. Animals can be trained to fear punishment for what Humans perceive to be wrong, but cannot themselves understand it. Instincts are at play, always. It is really unfair to call them "Cannibals," as it reads accusatory. They are simply after a meal. Read Elizabeth Hess's "Nim Chimpsky." It's a revelation on ape behavior. In no way Human.

What is mean? These are animals. They don't know any better. If they did, they should be tried in court for murder and then, hanged by the neck until dead. Animals do things that disgust we Humans, but the animal can't be held accountable if it cannot understand its "crime." This is why chimps cannot be Humans. They could not understand, nor have any regard for, the rights of (other) Humans. Just animals.

I wasn't referring in particular to infanticide i was talking more in general... about killing their own kind, event though i just found out today that spider monkeys may do it too but is not sure. What is fact is that the two primates that wage war and kill their own are chimps and humans.
lelucha 2 years ago
The key words here are "knowledge and forethought." The apes do not have knowledge or forethought of "wrongdoing." They are just animals--no excuses needed. They have no courts to be tried for their "crimes." Only Humans have forethought and knowledge that they are doing "wrong" in the eyes of God and moral society. Thus, Humans are culpable for their crimes. Chimpanzees cannot be held accountable for "cannibalism," or "murder." They have no concept of right and wrong. Just animals.
aliveinsd 2 years ago
How do you know they don't have the knowledge? Have you talked to chimps? Obviously they do have the forethought because they get together and kill other male chimps from other groups, & that is what i mean with waging war (war needs planing of some sort, if not then it would just be a fight). Of course, they do not know anything about right or wrong, or maybe they do. Maybe they have their own sets morals and for them what they are doing is right and good. We will never know.
lelucha 2 years ago
NO, lelucha, You need to take some courses in animal husbandry. Do you know what a Dog is? Dogs kill Dogs, for example. Did you know that a Mouse's DNA is 90% identical to Human DNA? So, don't be led astray by PETA and other $ begging drivel of animal groups. They lie to get $. That does not mean that animal cruelty is okay.

From your speech, I felt that you were a misguided young person. Sorry. It seems that you are more than what I thought. We may never know everything about chimps, but what we do know is that they are "closest" to Human, but very, very far from being Human. When people suggest chimp as Human, it makes more people want to have chimps as pets = disaster. So, my point is simply to set the record straight, while protecting more chimps from captivity for pets/entertainment.

People kill each other, and sometimes people eat each other. It isn't ok, but our cultures explain it is because the other people are "evil" or so we can "win" a war. Killing isn't alright, but we do it as much as chimps do.
sanitized 3 years ago
Humans understand right from wrong, and make choices. We know that God and justice are to be reckoned with. Animals (chimps) haven't such complex thoughts, simply killing to clear out more feeding ground/threats. Humans have police, courts, and conscience. Chimps and Human similarities are only passing. Do some reading on the subject ,as I did. Jane Goodall points out that the "Difference between chimp and Human is an unbrideable chasm." We are not chimps, nor they us.

Yes, chimps get "meat" protein from a variety of sources: Ants, termites, insects, Colobus monkey, bush baby, and cannibalism of baby chimps. Cannibalism is listed last because it is the chimp's least-used food source. Cannibalism is not exclusive to females. Males too have been known to kill and eat "foreign group" baby chimps.
