Project Nim In the movie, Project Nim, a newborn chimpanzee was taken from its mother. Both away from their natural habitat. The newborn chimpanzee, Nim, was raised by a family like a human baby. Under the expectations to pick up certain behaviors or sign languages. During the beginning of the film, Nim was still young; though almost signs of a wild animal were shown. He was just like a baby infant, “it’s an amazingly sweet, little new newborn baby, needy creature” (Jenny Lee), Nim was acting like any ordinary newborn children. Needy and attached to their mother, Nim showed jealousy by attacking the ones his mother showed love to. I see this as a normal, human infants are known to have such trait too. Just like us, Nim was just a little creature at the beginning, it tells us that chimp babies are not that far off from human babies, always needing their mother and not knowing their potentials …show more content…
Moving to Delafield Estate, Nim was allowed more space outdoor, and indoor to explore his app nature. “Nim got out of the car, ran up to the front door, rolled down the hill, and he was gone. He was free.” This shows how the first home he had did not provide him with much space, meaning that a chimpanzee in its true nature would like more of an open area allowing them to be what they are meant to be instead of having walls and busy streets all around him. While he stayed at Delafield Estate, Nim slowly grew out of the little, sweet chimp that he was. He was approaching adulthood. He was bigger, stronger, and started to act more like an animal. At the same time, Nim was also getting a lot more violent for little to no reason. This behavior is a natural behavior among the
Before being introduced to any chimpanzees, Fouts was a psychology master’s student, and was originally planning to work with children. However, he was introduced to a couple, the Gardeners, who asked him to assist them on a research project at their home. The Gardeners were the first people to
Inside the chimp habitat, I noticed a sign which read: Look here for a “zoo” born! When I saw it, I recalled that earlier during the day, a senior docent named Rhonda who worked with the gorillas had told me that there was recently a newborn chimp. She said to look very closely to find the baby because the mother was extremely protective of it. She had also mentioned that the newborn’s furless skin would be very pink. At first, I looked very keenly for the small new chimp who had just been born this year, but I couldn’t find it. I finally spotted the baby after I moved to a different position to view the chimps from the open air viewing area. The infant was just as Rhonda had described it: nestled in its mother’s arms as she shielde...
his psyche had to deal with. He was very up-set (as any other person would be)
There are contrasts in tool kits used by different groups of chimpanzees, which seem to be a result of the environment in which they live as well as information that is shared by the group. For example, in 1973 it was reported that chimpanzees in Gombe did not use hammer stones, but those of Cape Palmas did. We will explore the tool use of Chimpanzees from the wild, including Gombe, Tai National Forest, and the Congo Basin---and contrast those with Chimpanzees in captivity in locations of Zoo’s both in the United States and abroad.
...mption. He became a hollow shell of what he used to be, no longer living his life to his true potential.
He was getting beat throughout the story. Eventually he got to a point where he gave up(105). This caused him to become a burden to his son. He lost his strength every day until he eventually died.
As they explore around the woods, they must be in an area where they can see their guardian. It is a feeling of comfort for the infant. Similarly, human infants cannot leave their parent’s comfort zone. Baby infants cries when they do not see their parent around, which leave them to feel insecure. Infants do not feel insecure once they are out for birth. This is an example of nurture in which the infant's need someone to rely on for food and comfort.

Two important, mighty Asian empires in history are the Ottoman Empire and the Ming China. These two empires are in totally different areas of Asia – the Ottomans were in the very west, the Chinese were in the oriental east. Therefore, these two empires, naturally, formed completely different cultures. However, surprisingly, these empires had many parts in common as well. The Ottoman Empire and the Ming Dynasty had both many different and distinct parts, as well as many similarities.
He wasn't always this angry. He did so some good or tried to, but people didn't look at it that way. They just thought he was a monster by the way he looked. The creature states "I look upon crime as a distance of evil, benevolence and generosity were ever present before me. (101)" he really wanted to be good.

Chimpanzees are part of the non-human primate group. Though we share a common ancestor, evolution has pushed us in different directions. However this common ancestor causes humans to be curious about these creatures. As discussed in Jane Goodall’s video Among the Wild Chimpanzees we were once considered to be human because of our use of tools but once we observed these non-human primates using tools, this perception was changed forever. The question now at hand is if having the chimpanzees that we study in captivity makes a difference between studying wild chimps. These interesting creatures can be found naturally in the rainforests of Africa.
Chimpanzees portray their emotions through a number of facial expressions and mannerisms. Just like humans, they undergo mood swings, jealous rages, and laughter. For instance, Goodall observed during her research that a male gorilla “would threaten [me] with an upward and backward movement jerk of his head…” Some of their emotions are easy to read, while at other times we have to look at multiple places on their faces to understand their feelings. A chimpanzee also uses its facial expressions and sounds to communicate with each other, such as hoots and yells.
Over time, he began to turn into what he never wanted to be. He was just like his father, running away when things got difficult. This could be contributed to evolutionary psychology. His family’s way of adapting seemed to be to run away from the problem when things got difficult. Luckily, by the end of the movie his nurturing motive outweighed his evolutionary psychology and he returned to his
