Extractions: By By Charles Q. Choi A bit of human nature can apparently rub off on chimpanzees. Chimps nurtured by humans since birth have a far better chance of figuring out how to use new tools, a new study shows. The findings highlight untapped potential within chimpanzees that can get uncovered "by studying them when they have been raised under very comparable conditions as our own children," said Ohio State University cognitive primatologist Sally Boysen. The research suggests that early human ancestors may have been far more sophisticated in their mental capacities than previously thought, she added. "The emergence of higher order thinking, as well as motor skills that would permit complex tool use and construction and other cultural features of human social interaction, may have been part of our human ancestry much earlier than otherwise predicted by the fossil record of artifacts and human remains," Boysen told LiveScience.
Field Notes From An Evolutionary Psychologist: Are Tots Smarter Than Apes? On the other hand, sometimes researchers test apes who have not grown up in an enriched, human enculturated world. Of course apes can t solve the problems http://newfoundlandnews.blogspot.com/2007/09/are-tots-smarter-than-apes.html
Extractions: NO say some researchers who have tested toddlers and nonhuman apes in the same cognitive tests - such as indicating which container has more raisins in it or retrieving food hidden inside a box. Other researchers say YES, human two year olds are more able to infer the action of another and to use imitation to solve problems. On one hand is the issue of the nonhuman participants. How old are they? Apes show progressive cognitive development like humans (and for that matter other animals) do, and the apes mature a bit slower. Often the researchers compare the performance of adult great apes to human toddlers. When researchers don't find evidence that tots and apes can solve the same problems, sometimes it is because the two species are not at the same developmental stage.

Language In Child And Chimp? Ask yourself how different is an enculturated ape s use of human language from that of an exceptional dog like Fellow or parrot like Alex? http://pubpages.unh.edu/~jel/apelang.html
Extractions: General information and commentary on the issues ( revised 4-04) BUT before you move on to apes, ask yourself: What is human language? What are its functions ? What are the descriptive facts of human language acquisition by humans. Equipped with even cursory answers to these basic questions, you can proceed to the question of non-human use of human-based language codes. Ask yourself how different is an enculturated ape's use of human language from that of an exceptional dog like Fellow or parrot like Alex? (And speaking of exceptional, what is the variability in apes performance? One of the remarkable facts of human language acquisition, is that it is very uniform across a wide range of children and experiences. This may reflect the much less genetic variability of humans in contrast to other large primates.) Finally what we can begin to speculate on what kind of genetic changes might have occurred to evolve language in concert with evolving culture. (See recent reports in News and the old Limber, 1982

Extractions: Beginnings One reason to read Deleuze is to reinvigorate questions and problems that have otherwise reached an impasse. Intentionally or unintentionally, Deleuze challenges contemporary theory to confront its blind spots and dead ends, as well as to question its resistance to other philosophical perspectives on image, meaning, and spectatorship. (Rodowick, 1997, XI) Deleuze's thought on cinema in Cinema 1: The Movement Image (1992) and Cinema 2: The Time Image (1989) brings together an assemblage of film and philosophy to produce 'a kind of provoked becoming of thought.' (Tomlinson and Galeta in Deleuze 1992: xv). In these two volumes, which chart a brief history of cinema from silent films to Hollywood blockbusters and beyond, Deleuze differentiates between two types of moving image: the movement image and the time image. The movement image is the space of classical cinema built around an organic continuity and linear structure and can be seen in the typical Hollywood action, generic, studio produced narratives which works through repetition, cause and effect and equilibrium and disequilibrium. The space of the movement image is also that of traditional philosophical thought in which time is subordinated to movement. The time image, which offers a direct image of time consequently, is not just a question of cinematic form but also marks a rupture in philosophical systems of ordering the world.
