Some of the characteristics they have are forward facing eyes which allows them to precisely look at distances as they move. Also they have flexible fingers and toes which help them move easily through the rain forest. ]]> 2017-05-25 14:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/173829613 imran_saadati https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/174417380 Apes

For example they both have teeth like fangs to help them get small animals for food.
Also Apes and chimpanzees use there feet like hands. For example if they were picking something up they would use there feet.
Last orangutans and apes have similar ear functions. They can detect the temperature with there ears. Also they have mobile shoulders which help them move there arms quicker, and it is due to the dorsal position of the scapula which is the shoulder bone.]]> 2017-06-02 14:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/174983420 imran_saadati https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175214821 Monkeys pass on traits when new monkeys are born. For example if the older monkey had brown fur, it would pass on to the baby monkey. Another example would be the length of arms and legs. If the monkey had long arms the offspring would have long arms]]> 2017-06-05 13:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175214821 imran_saadati https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175218892 The noses of new world monkeys are flatter than the narrow noses of the old world monkeys , and have side-facing nostrils. New world monkeys are the only monkeys with prehensile tails—in comparison with the shorter, non-grasping tails of the anthropoids of the old world.]]> 2017-06-05 14:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175218892 imran_saadati https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175467886 Kingdom: Animalia

Apes are the most similar primate to humans. Apes have forward-facing eyes that provide them a binocular vision, allowing them to perceive depth. Also unlike other species of monkeys, apes don't have as much hair on there face. Apes rely on vision more rather then smell. This is because they have good vision while there olfactory senses are not as developed. Apes can be found in tropical rain forests in Asia and Africa.]]> 2017-06-06 22:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175467886 imran_saadati https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175469355 Kingdom: Animalia

Chimpanzees have opposable thumbs and toes that help them grasp objects easily and quickly. Also chimps are quadrupedal, which means they walk on all 4 limbs. Also they can walk upright (bipedal) for short distances. Chimps prefer dense tropical rain forests but they can also be found in secondary-growth forests, woodlands, bamboo forests, swamps, and sometimes savannahs. ]]> 2017-06-06 22:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175469355 imran_saadati https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175470898 Kingdom: Animalia

Orangutans fingers and toes are long and curved to help hold and quickly release branches as they traverse the treetops. Since orangutans primarily move through the forest using their arms and shoulders as opposed to their legs and hips, their arms are longer than their legs and their shoulders are wider than their hips. There normal habitat is in the tropical rain forest that is dominated by trees.]]> 2017-06-06 22:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175470898 imran_saadati https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175471941 In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes.

Humans and chimps descended from a single ancestor species that lived six or seven million years ago. As humans and chimps gradually evolved from a common ancestor, their DNA, passed from generation to generation, changed too.]]> 2017-06-06 23:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175472404 imran_saadati https://padlet.com/imran_saadati/9kmhron58b9q/wish/175473442 Divergent because the species diverged into two separate lineages.
