The young chimpanzees
AP/Dale Fulkerson WASHINGTON (AP) — America's "astro chimps" are being mustered out of the Air Force. Most will be given to a New Mexico foundation for scientific research in a decision that upset some chimpanzee researchers. The Air Force announced Thursday that the chimpanzee troop originally organized to help put America into space was being divided between the Coulston Foundation of Alamogordo, N.M., and an animal sanctuary. Coulston, which has operated the Air Force research ape facility at Holoman Air Force Base since 1993, will receive 111 of the 141 "space chimps." Company officials said the animals will be used for medical research, including studies into Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and arthritis, and for breeding The decision was denounced by animal rights activists, because the firm has been fined for violating animal care standards and now is being investigated for a second, similar complaint. Coulston was found in violation of animal care regulations in 1993 after three chimps in the company's care died. The company was subject to another "adverse finding" after two chimpanzees died in recent months, Coulston spokesman Don McKinney said. Thirty of the Air Force troop will be retired to Primarily Primates, a large animal sanctuary in San Antonio.

Chimpanzees are great apes that are closely related to humans. These intelligent primates live in a variety of environments in western and central Africa. Because of the rapid deforestation of their habitats, chimpanzees are an endangered species.
ANATOMY
Chimpanzees have very long arms (the arms are longer than the legs), and a short body.
Hair and Skin Chimpanzees are covered with black hair on most of their body (except their fingers, palms, armpits, and bottoms of their feet). Baby chimpanzees have very pale skin in the areas that have no hair and a white tuft of hair on the rump. Senses Chimpanzees have senses very similar to ours, including hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch. Face Chimpanzees have a slight brow ridge, large ears, small nostrils, and an elongated snout. They are capable of many expressions. Chimpanzees have a hairless face except for a short, white beard in both male and female adults. Some adult females become bald.

    Meet my cousin the chimpanzee
    Most people take it for granted that humans are more important than apes.But this assumption has more to do with double standards than biology
    Richard Dawkins

    Sir, you appeal for money to save the gorillas. Very laudable, no doubt. But it doesn't seem to have occurred to you that there are thousands of human children suffering on the very same continent of Africa. There'll be time enough to worry about gorillas when we've taken care of every last one of the kiddies. Let's get our priorities right, please!
    This hypothetical letter could have been written by almost any well-meaning person today. In lampooning it, I don't mean to imply that a good case could not be made for giving human children priority I expect it could, and also that a good case could be made the other way. I'm only trying to point the finger at the automatic, unthinking nature of the speciesist double standard. To many people it is simply self-evident, without any discussion, that humans are entitled to special treatment.
    To see this, consider the following variation on the same letter:

    The Primate Trade in North Sumatra
    Primate trading occurs not only on the islands of Java and Bali, but also in North Sumatra. With IPPL support, KSBK conducted a market survey between August and October 2000. Our survey revealed that the primate trade in some regions in North Sumatra is high. The primates are traded freely and without control. Some locations that were surveyed by KSBK members in North Sumatra were the Medan Bird Market; Pematang Siantar; Desa (Village) Bingkawan on Deli Serdang; Bukit Lawang near Gunung Leuser National Park; and Simbahe. Medan Bird Market The Medan Bird Market is the biggest bird market in North Sumatra. It is situated on Fl. Tobing Street, but the people prefer to call this place Jalan Bintang. Just as they do at bird markets on Java and Bali, traders sell not just birds but also primates, even though they call the market a "bird market."

    33. Do Apes Use Language?
    According to this school, chimpanzees and other close relatives could not uselanguage While the finding has not been replicated in other primates,
    http://whyfiles.org/058language/ape_talk.html
    Bonobos use symbols on a "keyboard" to communicate with researchers at Georgia State University's Language Research Center. These symbols represent "go" and "blueberries"
    Bonobos used three smashed plants to show a following group which fork in the trail they'd followed.
    . Courtesy of Sue Savage-Rumbaugh. Speaking to the relatives
    Where did our capacity for language originate? Many linguists, echoing the influential Noam Chomsky, argue that it's a uniquely human gift. According to this school, chimpanzees and other close relatives could not use language because they lack the human brain structures that make language. But other researchers disagree, pointing out that a few apes can use, at least to some extent, symbolic communications systems languages like American Sign Language. E. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh , a Georgia State University biology professor, says the accepted wisdom reflects a long bias and that modern studies are refuting it. Savage-Rumbaugh studies bonobos a relative of ours that, like chimpanzees, shares 98 to 99 percent of human genes. When you spend all day with bonobos, she says, "the differences don't loom very large... They look like us, care like us, smell like us, think like us. They are like us." Speaking at the recent American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Philadelphia, Savage-Rumbaugh observed that since apes don't have a vocal tract, they can't make human language. Previous researchers have tried to overcome that liability by teaching apes sign language. Savage-Rumbaugh uses a "keyboard" consisting of 400 symbols, and what she finds is controversial. "If you talk to apes and point to little symbols, they learn to understand language just as I'm talking to you."

        Famous Quotations
        Can Chimpanzees Talk?
        Humans seem to acquire language in a manner different from other types of behavioral learning. The onset of language learning is sudden (around the age of 2). We learn our native language without instruction, in fact, we can learn 2-3 languages at that age as easily as one. If we do not learn to speak between the ages of 2 and 6, it appears that we lose the ability to speak normally the rest of our lives. All this evidence suggests that we have a ' language organ ' which other species do not possess, a segment of our brain which is triggered by a stage of development, much the same as walking is. A simple way to disprove this Innateness Hypothesis, as linguists call it, is to demonstrate that other species have the capacity to speak but for some reason simply have not developed speech. A logical candidate for such a species is the chimpanzee, which shares 98.4% of the human genetic code. Chimpanzees cannot speak because, unlike humans, their vocal cords are located higher in their throats and cannot be controlled as well as human vocal cords. It does not follow from their lack of speech, however, that chimpanzees are incapable of language, that is a human-like grammar. Perhaps they can acquire grammar and speak if they could only use grammar some way other than with a voice. The obvious alternative is sign language, since all primates have extremely dexterous hands and sign language is a language. You have probably already read about the regular chimpanzees

    On December 10, 1998, five American heroes, chimpanzee retirees from the U.S. Air Force Space Program, will be coming home to Primarily Primates, a sanctuary for unwanted animals. Unlike the astronauts John Glen or Buzz Aldrin whose names you might recognize, GiGi, Hope, Lisa, Betty and Rosemary are five chimpanzee members of the former space program chimpanzee colony whose names are unknown or have been forgotten. They will, however, be the first space program chimpanzees to be given permanent lifetime retirement at Primarily Primates. They are the ambassadors in our campaign to retire 30 chimpanzees awarded to Primarily Primates for retirement by the U.S. Air Force. Originally, they were part of a colony of 141 chimpanzees owned by the U.S. Air Force. In the 1960's, the Air Force acquired a large colony of chimpanzees to test the effects of space travel. When the chimpanzees were no longer needed for the space program, they were leased to various research facilities where they were used for biomedical research. They were among the first chimpanzees to be used for research on Hepatitis and AIDS. In 1997, the U.S. Air Force put out a Request For Proposals to divest the colony of chimpanzees. Literally, the chimpanzees were being forced out of "service." Of four organizations that attempted to gain custody of the chimpanzees, only two qualified: Primarily Primates and the Coulston Foundation.

    The final group of the superfamily Hominoidea consists only of ourselves, the species Homo sapiens In the past, there were other species of humans as well. They will be described in the last two tutorials of this series. It has been historically difficult for people to accept that we are in fact just another primate species with African origins and that we differ physically only in degree from some of the others. However, that is now beyond doubt. The similarities can be seen throughout our bodies. For instance, humans and the African apes all lack external tails and have hands with a thumb that is sufficiently separate from the other fingers to allow them to be opposable for precision grips. Humans are also sexually dimorphicmales are 5-10% larger on average and have greater upper body muscular development . Like chimpanzees and bonobos, we are omnivorous. We kill other animals for food in addition to eating a wide variety of plants. Internally, our bodies are even more similar to the

    Overview Ring-tailed lemurs
    The o rder Primates includes humans, apes, monkeys , and prosimians. Many of them may be familiar, but it would not be surprising if you cannot immediately visualize prosimians (like the ring-tailed lemurs in the picture on the right). They are an ancient, relatively primitive group of primates which also includes such animals as lorises. How many living primate species exist today is not clear. The number varies depending on whether closely related groups are considered to be varieties of each other or distinct species. Some taxonomic splitters classify up to 350 species , while lumpers include as few as 190. Most estimates are closer to the lower end. This ambiguity may be partly resolved in the future with DNA sequencing data. Compounding the problem is the fact that e very few years new kinds of primates are found. The tropical forests of South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia may still be hiding ones that are unknown to the scientific world However, it is likely that all major groupings of primates have been discovered.

    The chimpanzee has a real funky scientific name: He is called "Pan Troglodytes" (pantrog-low-die-tees). No, he is not a caveman. The chimpanzee is a PRIMATE.
    Chimpanzee

    Chimps live in areas with evergreen, fruit producing trees, humid forest, deciduous woodland or mixed savannah, and can be found in west and central Africa.
    Chimpanzee

    The male chimpanzee weighs between 135 and 150 lbs. and stands approximately four to five feet tall. The female is somewhat smaller in size. Their arms, when extended have a span half again as long as the body height.
    Chimpanzee
    Chimpanzees live in forests, woodland, and the savanna. They are omnivores and eat fruits, leaves, seed, flowers, insects, birds, mammals and bark. Chimpanzees The chimpanzee's arms are much longer than its legs. It has got slim, long hands and feet, a black back, and is sparsely haired. Chimpanzee Chimpanzees are highly intelligent animals possessing the ability to recognise themselves, exhibit altruism (acts that have no direct benefit to themselves), and use basic tools. Chimpanzee Chimpanzees are very social primates that use facial expressions, vocalizations, body language, grooming, and even kisses and pats to communicate with members of their group.
