This shows the Bonobo compared to an australopithecine like Lucy.

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

My friends, man did not evolve from the ape, but the ape devolved from man.

Susan Savage Rumbaugh The real life culture of bonobos

Who you calling a hairy ape?

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

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

Australopithecus had a tiny little pea brain.

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

You done that on purpose, you hairy ape.

From the first wiggly protozoa here in the sea to the ape and finally to man.

But the emergence of molecular comparisons in the 1960 s, and DNA technologies in the 1980 s, presented a new way of comparing species. The comparison of linear polymers proteins made up of chains of amino acids, or DNA made up of chains of nucleotides held out the promise of a simple tabular approach to evolution.

Elaine Morgan says we evolved from aquatic apes

There's even something subhuman about him.

Maybe we are a long way from being made in God's image.

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.

Man's still an ape, and his creed's still a totem pole.

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

Are you an inherited loan from the ape?

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.

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

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.

A Planet for All Apes

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

You know, foxes and chimps.

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

So now we have Pluto to join the numbers of small planets.

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.

Similar insurance programmes exist in developing countries, but they are of lesser importance.

And then you created Earth about 4.5 billion years ago, and then you got life about four billion years ago, and then you got hominids about 0.006 billion years ago, and then you got our version of hominids about 0.0015 billion years ago.

Must have been Tarzan's mate.

14. This gross crime against humanity is also an aggregation of many smaller, cruel crimes against individuals.

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.

Jane Goodall on what separates us from the apes

Well, man was sort of evoluted from the oldworld monkeys.

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

Oldworld monkeys!

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.

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.

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

I thought he said by the monkey house.

Amy O'Toole Thank you, Beau. We thought that it was easy to see the link between humans and apes in the way that we think, because we look alike.

In southern lands there are humanlike animals called apes.
