Their brains may contain clues to mysteries of the human mind.The island's history as a research center dates all the way back to 1938, when a man named Clarence Ray Carpenter brought a population of Indian rhesus macaques (a type of monkey) to the United States.  In the island since then, the original 400 or so monkeys have had babies.]]> 2017-10-12 18:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellopez1/5ig2dgi49crd/wish/196580615 https://padlet.com/miguellopez1/5ig2dgi49crd/wish/196588722 — As thousands of troops and government workers struggle to restore normal life to Puerto Rico, a small group of scientists is racing to save more than 1,000 monkeys.

Their brains may contain clues to mysteries of the human mind.The giant storm hit the U.S. territory on September 20. One of the first places Hurricane Maria hit was Cayo Santiago, also known as Monkey Island, a 40-acre island off the east coast of Puerto Rico. It is one of the world's most important sites for research about monkeys. Scientists working there study how the monkeys think and interact, and research the monkeys' genes, the bits of information that make up their DNA and tell their bodies how to grow. Thankfully, scientists currently believe that all of the monkeys survived the direct hit from the hurricane. ]]> 2017-10-12 18:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellopez1/5ig2dgi49crd/wish/196590138 https://padlet.com/miguellopez1/5ig2dgi49crd/wish/196593029 Troops and government workers struggle to restore life to Puerto Rico, a small group of racing to save more than 1,000 monkeys.
