Why do we like monkey?
Monkeys’ seemingly carefree lives and joyful play have inspired “monkey business” as a description of similar behavior in humans. A little animal research actually reveals that primates, including monkeys, apes, chimpanzees and orangutans, are some of the smartest animals in the world!
Why are monkeys so important?
Monkeys play an important role in their native habitats by pollinating flowers and dispersing seeds as they travel. Some monkeys can swim; their webbed toes help them paddle through the water, and they may swim across a stream or river to avoid predators or get to food.
Why are monkeys better than humans?
When it comes to being willing to explore more efficient options to solving a problem, monkeys exhibit more cognitive flexibility than humans, according to a study by Georgia State University psychology researchers. “I think we’re less and less surprised when primates outsmart humans sometimes,” Watzek said.
Would Tarzan be possible?
While there’s no confirmation that Tarzan is, in fact, based on Midlin, it could be possible. Burroughs was alive during the same time period as Midlin was, and it’s possible that somehow he might have heard about Midlin’s adventure and decided to create a character and story about it.
Who killed Tarzan’s parents?

Could an ape raise a human?
Since 98.7% of the DNA in humans and chimps is identical, some scientists (but not Noam Chomsky) believed that a chimp raised in a human family, and using American Sign Language (ASL), would shed light on the way language is acquired and used by humans.
Are humans part monkey?
Part of Hall of Human Origins. Humans are primates–a diverse group that includes some 200 species. Monkeys, lemurs and apes are our cousins, and we all have evolved from a common ancestor over the last 60 million years. Because primates are related, they are genetically similar.
Do monkeys have the same DNA as humans?
These three species look alike in many ways, both in body and behavior. But for a clear understanding of how closely they are related, scientists compare their DNA, an essential molecule that’s the instruction manual for building each species. Humans and chimps share a surprising 98.8 percent of their DNA.
