Maybe you're wondering, So, you see this ape feature, human feature, ape feature.

A Planet for All Apes

Jane Goodall on what separates us from the apes

This shows the Bonobo compared to an australopithecine like Lucy.

The apes that left at that time ended up in Southeast Asia, became the gibbons and the orangutans.

It took nature 100 million years to make the ape stand up and become Homo sapiens.

Australopithecus had a tiny little pea brain.

She belongs to the species known as Australopithecus afarensis.

That's why they were called ape hangers.

It's important to remember that we evolved.

And here is a skull of a Homo erectus, which I just pulled off the shelf there.

And it is quite clear that apes originated on the African continent.

And the ones that stayed on in Africa evolved into the gorillas, the chimpanzees and us.

Knowing, that's what distinguishes us from the apes.

He argued and it's now a fairly common theory that if we found behavior patterns similar or the same in our closest living relatives, the great apes, and humans today, then maybe those behaviors were present in the ape like, human like ancestor some seven million years ago.

As you can see, there's not a lot of difference between the way a Bonobo walks and the way an early australopithecine would have walked.

Elaine Morgan says we evolved from aquatic apes

As they turn toward us you'll see that the pelvic area of early australopithecines is a little flatter and doesn't have to rotate quite so much from side to side.

Two million years ago at Lake Turkana, Homo erectus, one of our human ancestors, actually lived in this region.

(a) The World Atlas of Great Apes and their Conservation which provides a comprehensive overview of what is currently known about all the six species of great apes chimpanzee, bonobo, Sumatran orangutan, Bornean orangutan, eastern gorilla and western gorilla.

It had a swooping banana seat and those ape hanger handlebars that made the rider look like an orangutan.

Rupert Wyatt s Rise of the Planet of the Apes is the seventh film in a series based on Pierre Boule s 1963 novel, Planet of the Apes, about a world populated by highly intelligent simians. Publicity for the new film claims that it is the first live action film in the history of movies to star, and be told from the point of view of, a sentient animal.

SS So we have a bi species environment, we call it a panhomoculture.

So, Homo erectus was the first human ancestor to leave Africa and begin its spread across the globe.

Learning became reinforced. Bands of apes ventured into the open.

And that's the reason why, as you look at the hominid fossil record, erectus, and heidelbergensis, and floresiensis, and Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens, all overlap.

And it is important to remember that all of these great apes have come on as long and as interesting evolutionary journey as we ourselves have today.

And here's a very special moment, when my mother and myself were digging up some remains of human ancestors.

And we share our origins with a handful of the living great apes.

If you look at our ancestors, the Neanderthals and the Homo erectus, our immediate ancestors, they're confined to small regions of the world.

The vocal chords will be eliminated by a process of evolution as was the tail of man when he came from the ape.

And until 30,000 years ago, at least three upright walking apes shared the planet Earth.

The ancestor of the apes stayed in the trees our ancestors went out onto the plain.

Just to put this in terms of generations, because people do find it hard to think of time, Homo erectus left Africa 90,000 generations ago.

Instead, performance capture technology, originally invented for the movie Avatar, enables a human actor, Andy Serkis, to play the role of the chimpanzee Caesar, not by dressing in a chimp suit, but by having every gesture and facial movement, even the twitch of an eyebrow, transformed into the movement of an ape.

And if you can do it with monkeys though the great leap in trying to genetically manipulate is actually between monkeys and apes if they can do it in monkeys, they can probably figure out how to do it in apes, which means they can do it in human beings.

You know and have known already those among you who had broken the sanctity of the Sabbath, and to whom We had said Become (like) apes despised,

You know and have known already those among you who had broken the sanctity of the Sabbath, and to whom We had said Become (like) apes despised,

And you certainly know of those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of Sabth (Sabbath Saturday) We therefore said to them, Become apes, despised!

And you certainly know of those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of Sabth (Sabbath Saturday) We therefore said to them, Become apes, despised!

And well you know there were those among you that transgressed the Sabbath, and We said to them, 'Be you apes, miserably slinking!'

And well you know there were those among you that transgressed the Sabbath, and We said to them, 'Be you apes, miserably slinking!'

And assuredly ye know of those of you who trespassed in the matter of the Sabbath, wherefore We said unto them be ye apes despised.
