         <description><![CDATA[<div> </div><div>We know that we are all related to every animal by evolutionary means; we all came to be what we are today by the same process. This process led us to develop communication skills that will result effective when it comes to companionship and teamwork. Communication skills vary from organism to organism; we respond differently, but can still understand and appeal to those distinctions. Dolphins are a great example of those organisms who have mastered the ability to communicate efficiently just like us, but in their own way. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>Dolphins are very social animals that employ very similar communication skills to us. According to (How do dolphins communicate, 2019), dolphins have a different vocal pitch that vary from member to member. This technique will help me them identify who “talking”, similar to the way we identify who is talking. This ability is also used when a member of their pod gets lost. It is considered to be a complicated subject with much to explore, says scientists, but we understand that dolphins are suitable to learning human skill-based instructions. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>Human daily life is full of non-verbal communication. We even use body language unconsciously. Dolphins use non-verbal communication on a daily basis; they bump to each other and slap their flippers against the water to express different desires like food or to communicate any type of danger according to (How do dolphins communicate, 2019). They are very social animals, they use lots of physical contact to express different emotions in the same way we humans do. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>Dolphins are even more similar to humans than many other animals. According to (The Similarities Between Dolphins and You!, 2019) this marine animals can recognize themselves in a mirror and show empathy.  In terms of communication, dolphins might be one of the most social animals in relation to us. The way they live is formed by factors that we use on our daily life. There’s things that dolphins have developed because of the environment that they live on, for example echolocation. Echolocation is an ability that we can develop but not like any other animal and so it makes us inferior in some aspects to this creature. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>Communication techniques are different in every organism, but to a certain point we have some similarities with many of them. Maybe in the way we communicate or in our own physical structure.  There’s animals that use hand signs to communicate, some use sounds, and others use different abilities that they have learnt as they progressed through the passage of time. I think dolphins are very special, they have developed the ability to feel empathy and to deliver language unlike any other. For me, a dolphins would be a great companion. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Primates are animals with the best resemblance to humans. So much so that there is a very famous theory that postulates that we humans evolve from one of the many species of primates. According to science, the chimpanzee is the primate with which we share the highest percentage of DNA. With chimpanzees we share not only physical characteristics, but also behavior. These have also been recognized as a primate species with great intelligence.</div><div>The social organization of chimpanzees is very similar to that of us humans. Its community that surrounds the 100 and 150 members is divided into subgroups that would be like families. We humans live in communities. We divide into subgroups that are families. In the chimpanzee community there is an alpha male who is responsible for protecting and organizing the community. In our society that "alpha male" who directs would be a president, governor, mayor or anyone with the ability to lead.</div><div>Chimpanzees are quiet animals that will avoid conflict, according to Filippo Aureli, chimps prefer friends and support them for any situation. Aureli and his colleagues showed that chimpanzees comfort each other and relieve the stress of others. But they don't make friends from nothing, chimpanzees are select. “A study from the University of Vienna, friendship relationships are established between chimpanzees that share certain personality traits. This is reminiscent of the “effect of similarity” in humans, which is nothing more than the tendency to have subjects that resemble us as friends.” (Sanz, 2016)</div><div>The sense of right and wrong is something that every human has already integrated, and chimpanzees are not far behind. Chimpanzees know how to differentiate a good and a bad action and more if the little ones are affected. "In a study at the University of Zurich that Human Nature magazine echoed, it became clear that if a chimpanzee sees scenes of a baby being damaged or killed by another member of his own species, he reacts with indignation and anger ... " (Sanz, 2016) This gives us evidence of the importance of small chimpanzees in the community. They create strong ties between relatives to defend each other, just as we humans do.</div><div>In conclusion, we could see that chimpanzees are animals that are very similar to humans. The similarity that chimpanzees have with us is inevitable, but still I am not one of the people who believe in the evolutionary theory of the appearance of human beings. Chimpanzees are great animals and very similar to humans, but at the same time with many differences.</div>]]></description>
