It all started when researchers around the world started unraveling different techniques to clone animals and improve human diseases. Establishing perfect animal models is important, especially for the study of human diseases but transgenic technology is believed to be useful for generating animal models. Since the birth of the first transgenic mouse, hundreds of transgenic animal models have been created and have made an excellent contribution to scientific research. There, researchers used Macaca fascicularis, a type of monkey that has...

The most significant findings from the textbook “Understanding Humans: An Introduction to Physical Anthropology and Archaeology, 11th Edition” and from lectures are their social behavior, cultural behavior, reproductive behavior and language. Different variables have effect on evolutionary processes some being natural selection, and interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Factors that influence the social structure are diets, resources, relationships, and historic traits...

In the past, culture use to be a trait only explained in humans, but over the years studies have shown culture-like phenomena in animals such as primates. Primatologists can define culture as behaviours that are transmitted socially from one group of species to another leading to group-specific traditions (Van Schaik et al 2003). Social learning consists of learning due to a trigger of stimuli, learning by directly imitating goals or actions (KrĂĽtzen, Willems and van Schaik, 2011) . This provides...
