Can a martial artist use martial art to defend himself against an animal like a Rottweiler or a Chimpanzee?

Personally I'd run for the hills man... I practice my grappling with my Rotti and once I get him into a good cuddle he doesn't have much but he's 53kg and only playing, for real I'd say it would be quite difficult to bridge the gap.





The one thing that humans do have over dogs is that our major vital point are higher up while we are standing and we are able to use our limbs more efficently, however dogs have natural weapons such as claws and teeth and also are born with some natural predatory instinct, humans have to learn how to fight. I would never turn my back on a dog and run though as there is little chance of out running them and you won't see them coming, you'd have to wait for a prime opportunity, like when they jump at you and then pummell till you can't pummel anymore.





There was a case not so long ago when a man wrestled and contained a wild animal and held it in his home until help arrived. It was some form of big cat.





As for the chimp, they literally have the strength to pull your arms out of your sockets and beat you to death with the soggy ends. I'd try not to piss them off.|||if a rotweiler or chimpanzee attacked one of my lil gurls..... bet your *** it would... its amazing what a man can do when he absolutley has to.... but train him for it .. and it will be ugly...|||The book "Surviving Armed Assaults" cover dog attacks.





http://www.amazon.com/Surviving-Armed-As鈥?/a>





As to a chimp,they are just to "strong",fast,%26amp; vicious.|||From personal experience, a dog, yes.......a Chimpanzee (none in New York City), no.





It is almost impossible to knock out a dog from a blow to the head, but you are capable of making him/her a bit dizzy. I once was chased up a car by a dog, once it got on the hood to bite my leg, I hooked (punch) him with all my might. This only made him lose its balance and come up and try again. So I repated it again, this time, when he fell over dizzy, I jumped on him and tied his leash around the mouth.





The dog was later put to sleep. Its one of those situations where a female dog owner says "don't worry he doesn't bite", and it gets away from her.|||Yes to many degrees,first agility and being prepared of all dangers if the right art was chosen.The availability to find a make shift weapon is also knowledge.Strength in the heart is a must.Knowing wear to strike the beast is a key factor,that a non martial artist would not possess.|||Sure, martial arts teaches you to use your body as your weapon. It doesn't really matter what the attacker is.


In fact many forms of arts were made based on animal movements.





Here is the bottom line. I would rather defend myself from a chimp knowing a martial art versus the same scenario with no martial art experience.


Who would you put your money on? The guy who is trained or the guy who isn't?


Smart money is on the guy with training.








I have just read some other answers. GUYS! What are you thinking? I can't believe their are martial artists out there that are scared of a dog attack. Maybe it is because I grew up with large breed German dogs but they are easier to hurt than a human. Use your brain and I bet you can figure exactly how they will attack you (with their mouth), you should also be able to figure out there vulnerable spots, land mammals all have the same basic vulnerabilities.


Humans are scarier than animals any day. Animals don't use knives or guns. Also, they aren't as smart as humans.|||Could you use some techniques from your training to attempt to fend off a dog or chimp? Yes, possibly. Will you be able to set them up like you're sparring with footwork, feints, and combos? Absolutely not.





An animal attack is sudden and ferocious. There is no martial art that I know of that teaches you target areas to strike on animals or spars with chimps and dogs. And you'll most likely only be able to desperately grasp for a makeshift weapon in the midst of the animal's attack. (Thinker surely doesn't live up to his moniker)





So a martial artist may be marginally better able to save himself or herself from an animal attack than someone who has no combat training.





NOTE: Spidertiger440, I grew up with German shepards, rotties and mastiff mutts. The play biting they do when rough housing with you doesn't compare to an all-out attack. Let's see you sit there and "think" how to react while a dog (or chimp) is attacking. When you finally fend off the attack you can "figure out" how to stop the bleeding.|||Everything already said pretty much covers what I was going to say, right down to the "avoidance" clause. One of the first things a good martial arts instructor will teach is that AVOIDANCE of a fight is the easiest way to not lose one. ONLY AFTER you have exhausted your options of avoiding confrontation do you employ the training you have received. As soon as you engage, your chances of winning the fight depend not opnly on your skill, but on the skill and tactics employed by your attacker (even dogs). And yes, trained guard dogs DO employ tactics, just as predators in the wild employ tactics designed to increase their chances of success in an attack.|||Sure, but I'm pretty sure Peta wouldn't be pleased.|||I think the current edition of Black Belt magazine has an article about defending yourself from a dog attack.





Frankly, I don't think Ray Lewis would stand a chance against an 80lb chimp. Great apes are so strong it borders on the supernatural.





If you train BJJ or MMA, you may be screwed. Wrestling a biting dog is going to be tough, but their physiology is essentially the same as ours, in that they would be susceptible to a choking attack from the rear. Good luck taking a dog's back though if they are on the attack.





For karate/kung fu guys, our training to go for vital areas would work well. Dogs are sensitive on their noses, so while Fido is sinking his teeth into your arm, you can punch him on the nose, or jam your fingers into his nostrils and rip. You can also gouge his eyes, or ram your fingers deep into their ear cavity. Next time you play with a dog, see how far he lets you get a finger into his ear--it wont get far. They don't like it, and can cause enough pain/injury to possibly give you a chance at escaping. Striking the trachea may help, but his neck muscles will be strongly engaged, so it could be somewhat sheilded. Or, if you can get a stick into their mouth (instead of your arm), a sharp twist can possibly sprain the dogs jaw.





Check the web about chimp attacks. The few instances where they have escaped and attacked someone, they destroy people in seconds. Heaven help you against an animal like that, because it's unlikely the martial arts will.





Hope that helps!|||I think no matter what martial art you are pro at, if a trained rottweiler took you by surprise you would have a VERY hard time finding a technique in your arsenal to escape yourself from it's clutches.|||Hehe, a Tekken match: Paul Phoenix vs Kuma.|||no that would just be wrong|||Yes you can. UUh, let us no how it turns out okay?|||Give it your left arm.... and kill it with the knife in your right hand.|||Yes.





Self-defense is a set of concepts and strategies designed to be applicable in a variety of circumstances and situations. A good instructor will teach principals and will then vary the situations and circumstances to challenge their students thought process and response conditioning.





That said, the type of animal you would discuss defensive strategies for would depend upon the area of the world you live in. I have conducted many self-defense classes focused on dog attacks which is a very possible occurence in many areas of the world. I've also discussed basic concepts on mountain lion, snake, bear and so on in a few classes.





Once you understand the principals of self-defense, you should look at variations in what circumstances you may find youself and what resources and information is already avaiable to help you deal with them. THAT is true self-defense in my opinion, and that is what I encourage all of my instructors to work on, and all of my students to consider and practice.





There are well established concepts for defending against a single dog attack. There is also information out there for defense against many other types of animals or more importantly, for preventing getting yourself into a bad situation where you may have to defend youself against such animals :)





Now, when it comes to the likely outcome of such an encounter. As anyone who teaches self-defense will tell you - Avoid getting physical at ALL COSTS, because as soon as it goes physical you have lost the battle and run the risk of losing the entire war. While training and preparation will give you an advantage, it does not guarantee anything. But having the information and advantage is much better than not having it, so although the outcome will be uncertain, the time devoted to preparing is still worth while.

What do you learn from a chimpanzee who always cover his eyes whenever he sees human being?

Like Maddy, See no Evil.|||Well don't think chimpanzee always cover their eyes, there are lots of sign which gives warning stay away from me. Like showing teeth which like yawn, but that mean stay away from me, chimpanzee are wild animals they can attack you in wild or even can kill you.

A chimp would definitely win.|||depends where they were fighting. I mean in a highly vegetated area with trees i would go for the chimp.


But if it was like in a Arena then the pit bull would win hands down.





This all depends on whether they would fight i reckon the chimp would just run away or hid in a tree.|||You don't say if there are any trees around because it makes a difference.

How well can a chimpanzee Communicate with a person using sign language compared to how a deaf person?

communicates with a person using sign language|||Not very well. Some chimpanzees have learned some sign language but it took them a very long time to do it. There is an excellent new book on the evolution of language called "Adam's Tongue" by Derek Bickerton which discusses sign langage use in chimpanzees. It is well worth reading. Bickerton writes very well and is easy to understand.

So that's where Uncle Wayne has been!|||maybe? or she was trying get hint to you that your doing it wrong

Is it racism to call a chimpanzee a monkey just because he doesn't have a tail.?

Is an orangutan on the same level in the evolutionary chain as a chimpanzee? Only from a different branch. Which are closer to reaching a stage in the chain where they may be admitted or accepted in heaven?|||That would be specism.|||As a white male I don't believe I'm qualified to address questions concerning racism.|||Animals are already in heaven. It's called Nature. And we are in hell because we were removed from nature.|||There is no heaven, your question is irrelevant to evolution. They are different genera, they cannot have races. If they were subspecies of each other then yes you could call it racism, but only if it was discriminatory to on subspecies or the other.





Edit: (After an ad hominin attack in own question)


Subspecies and races are the same thing, they can interbreed and have offspring. Science does not care about being politically correct so calm down. I wouldn't even consider you do be a different race/subspecies, don't imply racism where there is none, it make you look stupid.|||no he doesnt care what you say. He isnt human.|||Monkey isn't a race. Chimp isn't a race. To answer your question... no.|||Let it go Sha.





All believers go to heaven. Why care what others think?|||Part 1) Well, chimps and monkeys are different species, not different races within the same species - so, no, it isn't a racist remark. I guess you could call it specieist.





Part 2) Also, there aren't really "levels" in the evolutionary chain. Evolution is just the process of species adapting to best thrive in their unique environment. The chimp and orangutan are in different branches yes. But you can't really say one is "higher" or "superior" to the other. The chimp thrives in his specific environment (Africa) and the orangutan in his (SE Asia). If you swapped them, probably neither would fare well (without more evolution). The only possible exception might be humans who have evolved to thrive in multiple environments - that you could probably consider "superior." (Tho we're not too good if you toss us in the ocean.)





Part 3) I think only humans, chess-playing computer-programs, and self-aware androids can get into heaven.

Why did God put endogenous retroviruses at the same locations in both Human and Chimpanzee genetic makeup?

Is he trying to confuse us?|||'"Okay now lets make the Chimp and Human DNA so similar, but the creatures so obviously different and let see how they stretch their "theory" to cover this"'





So you're saying your god is a deceiver, the author of lies?





Good thing that chimpanzees and humans are not "so obviously different" that a millions of years of divergent evolution doesn't fit the theory of evolution perfectly.|||Well, see, Adam-chimp and Eve-chimp used to be in this garden where there was no sickness, but they chose to eat the banana from the banana tree of knowledge of good and evil -- the original chimp sin, which brought disease and death into their world.





Oh, wait, that's another story, huh? Sorry.





Um, gee, since all disease came into the world as a result of Adam and Eve sinning, and chimps had nothing to do with that, I guess...the whole story is ridiculous nonsense.





Peace.|||Must be since they are not in a direct line with Man on this fantastical assent of man chart





Propably the same reson He made their DNA similar








"Okay now lets make the Chimp and Human DNA so similar, but the creatures so obviously different and let see how they stretch their "theory" to cover this"|||Because God is a massive dick that does his best to convince people he doesn't exist and then punishes them for falling for his tricks. For example, he punishes Adam and Eve for doing something they didn't know was wrong until they committed the sin. What a dick!|||"Is he trying to confuse us?"





No. Neither is Satan.

What with all the fossil planting and all.|||It's only confusing to those who don't see that genetic make-up is where the similarities between Humans, and the rest of the Animal Kingdom end.

Who would win in a fight to the death between a man and a chimpanzee?

Fight between a 200 lb man and a 110 lb Chimp. this fight is to take place in an open field with no weapons.|||chimpanzees are wild animals.. stronger than grown men and with no inhibitions what-so-ever. they are more aggressive on a primitive level, a man would naturally have some fear, even if he said he didn't he would, the chimp would not.. the chimp would not fight in a traditional manner, what i am saying is that although chimps are similar in build to humans, they would not use traditional katas or techniques making it hard for even a trained fighter to fight and see what is coming.. plus the sheer strength would be hard to overcome...





interesting question though, really enjoyed contemplating it :)|||an adult male chimpanzee is five times as strong as the strongest man, so you figure it out! Ever since that Connecticut chimp attack, ppl have been asking this and its stupid. Save us time by not asking if Bruce Lee could beat Pogo the Chimp. The answer is no. Pogo wins.


You would need a gun to fight off a chimp- I am not sure that a good knife fighter could use a knife on a chimp successfully.


The strongest, toughest human being is not a wild animal!|||chimp - provided that the chimp was as aggressive as the man as animals don't naturally fight for sport so it would need some motivation before it would kick butt|||it depends..if the man is a really good brazilian jujitsu practitioner..because the monkey is just gonna jump on him and try to rip his face off...and the man will be on the bottom|||Have you not seen that lady whose FACE WAS RIPPED OFF

Who would win in a fight to the death between a man and a chimpanzee?

The man weighing 220 lbs and the chimp weighing 110 lbs. The fight will take place in an open field with no weapons.|||The chimpanzee would have the advantage, seeing as how they are considered to be twice as strong as a human pound for pound, not to mention faster. However, if the man had an experienced fighting background, he may be able to out-maneuver the chimp in a brawl. Most likely though, I would bet on the chimp.|||the chimp, its brutal force and wild reaction would be to much for a man with any common sense or feeling and nerves

Also, I assume you need a license or permit, where could you get that?|||Ever since the Travis the Chimp incident a couple years ago most municipalities have made it very difficult for private parties to keep and own exotic pets.That and international law is cracking down on the capture and trade of exotic animals.|||Don't do it. You can't keep a chimp for longer than five years, and it's ridiculously hard to care for them, let alone get a permit. You'd be taking a wild animal who misses his family into a strange place with inadequate care and 'imitation environment enrichment'. It's sickening. You'll pay thousands for at least an acre of free space, toys, special veterinary care, diet, and you'll have to give your chimp away when they get too big. Which is, very, very soon.

For example, the '99.8%' figure is based on a small number of restriction enzyme comparisons and predates the Human Genome Project.

How does human communication differ from chimpanzee communication?

Chimpanzees feel emotions much like we do- they work together in cooperative groups, they mourn the loss of a family member together, they feel commitment and loyalty, they get angry and jealous as we do. They communicate their emotions through facial expressions primarily, and body motions and movement. For instance, when they bare their teeth, that means they are scared and/or angry. It almost looks as though they are smiling! They do not possess the vocal chords necessary for speech as we do, other than grunts and "growls" and hollers. Chimps will make an "ooh ooh ooh" sound when they are excited or alarmed, either positively or negatively. While they cannot speak in words, it is clear when you observe chimpanzees that they communicate just as much as we do and that their emotions are very obvious. They are fascinating creatures! And brilliant!|||well, I believe we communicate slightly better what with the talking and all.

As infants, chimpanzees are affectionate, needy, and a delight to interact with. But chimpanzees grow up fast, and their unique intelligence makes it difficult to keep them stimulated and satisfied in a human environment. By age 5 they are stronger than most human adults.

Michael had a home theatre at his Neverlands Ranch where he could have watched numerous wildlife documentaries. Some of those animals really seemed to know how to move all right especially when they were being chased by a hungry predator.

Christians: How do you feel about you and your families DNA being 98% identical to chimpanzee DNA?

Did they evolve from you or did you evolve from them?|||Morphologically, humans resemble chimpanzees more than they do any other species currently alive on Earth. The average body weight of chimps and humans is similar. So is the structure of all major organs inside the main body cavity. Therefore, from a biblical perspective, it's not at all surprising that human DNA and chimpanzee DNA show remarkable similarity. New research, however, indicates that the wide advertised 96 percent similarity between chimpanzee and human DNA is greatly exaggerated. Such claims are based on small segments of human and chimpanzee genomes where common sense dictates that similarities would be the greatest. While comparisons between the complete human genome and the complete chimpanzee have only recently begun, the most complete comparisons performed this far indicate that the degree of similarity is more like 85 to 90 percent.





Dissimilarity is especially pronounced for gene expression patterns that govern brain structure and activity. The human brain, unlike the brains of chimpanzees or any species that has ever lived, possesses structures to sustain spiritual activity, meditation, analysis, mathematics, logic, complex language development, and communication. The gene expression patterns responsible for these structures are unique to humans. The biblical creation model predicts that as geneticists look deeper into the genomes the great apes and the hominids that preceded humanity, they will continue to confirm that the human species is genetically distinct, not linked through natural evolutionary descent to other primates. The biblical model predicts that future genetic research will attests humanities uniqueness, a special creation in whom the Creator made appropriate use of similar or identical genetic designs He had already optimized for other species.|||Only special pleading can allow you to come up with this conclusion. There are a lot of differences between a chimp and a man. 98% sounds very similar, but there are still millions of nucleotides that are different. Furthermore, there is still some debate on that 98%.





I don't understand how evolutionists can think DNA is evidence for evolution. Do you know how information-rich DNA is? Do you know how tiny it is? Imagine writing a story and putting it on a book that is so small you need a microscope to read it. What would you say when someone said that the book evolved? Their proof of this claim is that the story is 98% similar to another story on another tiny book.|||It just shows the wisdom of God in that He created the same building blocks which are able to be used for the creation of all physical life.





Bricks, mortar, cement, glass, tiles and steel can be used to build a hospital or a jail but they are not to be confused as identical just because the use the same materials.|||A recent analysis of the DNA of chimpanzees and orangutans, as well as of certain monkeys and macaques, has revealed that their genetic makeup is not as similar to man’s as scientists once thought. “Large differences in DNA, not small ones, separate apes and monkeys from both humans and each other,” says Britain’s New Scientist magazine. “There are large deletions and insertions sprinkled throughout the chromosome,” explains Kelly Frazer of Perlegen Sciences, the California, U.S.A., company that did the analysis. New Scientist characterized the differences as a “yawning gap [that] divides monkeys and us.”





Chimpanzees still can not talk with a large vocabulary of words, make life changing decisions, or know right from wrong. No matter what evolutionists believe.

How is a human more like a chimpanzee than a dinosaur is like a jellyfish?

It is impossible to answer when the genesis of the analogy is not known. I mean, how do you draw "dinosaur" and "jellyfish" together in the first place? If we knew that, if we knew what the analogy was referring to, we might well conclude that the dinosaur is more like the jellyfish than we are to another primate; I doubt it, but it is possible, because in philosophy, every thing is contextual, and you offer no context except an unexplained analogy.|||We're more closely related, genetically. We're built fairly similarly--not on the scale of similarity we use when comparing people, but on the wider-ranging scale we use when comparing, say, all mammals. We're more similar to chimpanzees than we are to zebras. And all of us mammals are more similar to each other than any of us are to dinosaurs or jellyfish.


.


We're also more like a dinosaur, and dinosaurs were more like us, than dinosaurs were like jellyfish. Dinosaurs were also vertebrates.





There are things we vertebrates are less closely related to than jellyfish. Obviously, we're all less closely related to plants. But trace back the ancestry of both me and the tomatoes I should be out picking, and somewhere way back there you'll find ancestors we have in common.|||A human and chimpanzee come from the same lineage. We have many of the same genes, so we have many similar features, like opposable thumbs. Our skulls are also similarly shaped.

How would a neanderthal or ancient human compare with the strength of a chimpanzee?

In Chimpanzee communities, who takes care of the children?

If the Alpha male mates with most of the females, he won't have time to worry about all the offspring. Do the beta males take care of the Alpha male's children?|||Young chimpanzees are primarily cared for by their mothers. If a mother has older children, especially daughters, the older children will also often help care for their younger siblings. If the mother has sisters, they may also provide some care. It's not uncommon for beta males to play with the children of females they wish to cultivate a relationship with.





However, chimpanzee behavior, like human behavior, is complex and flexible. Although it seems to be rare, there are instances of females "adopting" infants whose mothers have died, even if they're completely unrelated. In fact, there's at least one documented case of a young male doing this. Nevertheless, the general rule is that females provide the care for their own offspring.|||Males don't raise their children.

If Chimpanzee's are the second most intelligent living thing on earth, then how far off are they from humans?

In terms of intelligence.





And also, how far off in terms of intelligence are Dolphins from humans as they are supposed to be the third most intelligent.|||There DNA is 98.6% identical to ares, thus why we use them for tests. We can use them for blood transfusions ( though this is apparently morally wrong, though imo **** the chimps.) even. So overall there not much different at all, but obviously that 1% difference is enough to make us the was we and them the way we are. Im no scientist but id assume there very smart. Smart as a 5 year old basically. There was also a test of memory compared to a human and a chimp and the chimps beat the humans sometimes also, each with different tests. So there very very smart, they just need lots and lots care and an expert teacher to make them standout.|||I don't know if they are. Dolphins, elephants, pigs, rats, and other apes may possibly be closer.





Chimps have an average brain size of 300 ml. Humans of 1400 ml. So yeah...





Brain size is not a perfect measure, and the closer related the animal, the better you can compare their intelligence by brain size.





For example: the biggest brain in existence is owned by the Sperm Whale: a whopping 7000 ml. Dolphins are at 1600 ml, much less, but still bigger than human brains.|||According to my biology notes, there is approximately a 98% similiarity between the DNA of humans and chimpanzees (also based on DNA-DNA hybridisation). Dolphins are also quite close ( i don't know the exact percentage) but they are not near as close as chimpanzees are.|||Dolphins are as intel. as humans. ask S.E.T.I.

About how much stronger is a chimpanzee than a man?

A chimp's muscles have an entirely different molecular structure than a humans. Also, the percentage of muscle to fat in a chimpanzee is much more substantial. Think of it like this, an elite male gymnast are about 2% or less body fat. An average chimpanzee is less than 1%. Most people walking around out there would be lucky if they are 20%. Your friend that you think is in pretty good shape is likely about 12-15%.





Considering the molecular structure of a chimp's muscles, the difference is in their DNA. Their muscles react quicker, are less prone to pain, and can endure larger amounts of stress and fatigue. Oh, and they are much more flexible.|||Pound for pound, the greater Apes are more powerful than the strongest human that's ever lived. They have to be because their very survival depends on there muscular strength. This strength is not only used to aid them in climbing and swinging in the trees and obtaining their food, but also in combat against one another for dominance, and for defense.


A full grown adult male Chimpanzee could literally pull a man inside out.|||A man perhaps has stronger legs than a chimp but weaker arms. Whether a chimp's arms in tension are stronger than a man's legs in compression one can only imagine, I can find no information on this possibility. I think you may be on to something with muscle density, but also, pehaps design selection in humans rather than natural selection in chimps has resulted in our somewhat puny anatomy. I think the whole subject would make a facinating research project.|||I did a bit of googling to try and find you a decent answer. I was unable to find anything because the studies I found only include the great apes, and not humans.





I know a male chimpanzee is stronger than a man despite the fact that the average male chimp only weighs about 130 lbs. I doubt that density of muscle has anything to do with it. I think it's probably got a lot more to do with upper body strength and anatomy.





Chimps brachiate (swing by their arms), so their upper body development is different from that of a human. A human can swing on playground equipment, but they cannot swing the way an ape can--the ape is swinging with much more velocity, which means more stress on the muscles. When a human does the same thing, they cannot reach as far and swing as hard--they have to keep their grip fairly close together (meaning their reach is not as good), which would seem to indicate they cannot carry their body weight simply by their arms as well as a chimp can. The further away from the center of your body your arms swing, the more stress on the muscles. So, chimps must be much stronger in the upper body.





I do know that male chimps, when fighting, also use their teeth. Their bite strength is greater than a humans, and they can do serious damage both to humans and to other chimps with their ability to bite and the fact that their teeth are much longer.





I wish I had a really good answer to give you. I used to work with a woman whose husband used to be the head vet at our zoo. I know from her that a chimpanzee can kill an adult male who outweighs him considerably, and that they use their muscles in their chests, shoulders and arms to aid in the attack, as well as dealing out serious bites.





I also know from her that an adult male gorilla is strong enough to literally rip the arm from a human body. She told me that an intern who had worked with her husband went on to work at a zoo somewhere else in the US, and had to have an arm amputated after an attack by an angry male. The gorilla broke all the bones and connective tissue in the man's shoulder--it was hanging by a flap of skin when other people managed to get the gorilla off of him. The arm could not be saved due to the trauma to the tissue, so it was amputated above the shoulder, with the clavicle somehow repaired and saved.

What is the difference between monkey ape gorilla chimpanzee orangotan lemur ?

Lemurs are Prosimians, while the rest of the animals in your list are Simians. You can think of them as a lesser monkey. They don't have the color or the binocular vision usually associated with monkeys and have a wet nose like a dog. They are only found naturally on Madagascar.





Gorilla's, Chimpanzees and Orangatans are all Apes and along with Humans, Gibbons and Bonobo's are the only ape species. They differ from monkeys in that they don't have a tail, have modified shoulder's, specific dental adaptations, specific spinal adaptations, and specific eye adaptations.

How do a Chimpanzee, Bottle-nosed Dolphin, and African Elephant rank in intelligence?

According to Edward O. Wilson,a behavioral biologist (scientist who studies the behavior of animals),the ten most intelligent animals are the following:

1.Chimpanzee (two species)

2.Gorilla

3.Orangutan

4.Baboon (seven species, including drill and mandrill)

5.Gibbon (seven species)

6.Monkey (many species, especially the macaques, the patas, and the Celebes black ape)

7.Smaller-toothed whale (several species, especially killer whale)

8.Dolphin (many of the approximately eighty species)

9.Elephant (two species)

10.Pig|||The elephant's brain is similar to that of humans in terms of structure and complexity - such as the elephant's cortex having as many neurons as a human brain, suggesting convergent evolution.


Elephants exhibit a wide variety of behaviors, including those associated with grief, learning, allomothering, mimicry, art, play, a sense of humor, altruism, use of tools, compassion, cooperation,self-awareness, memory and possibly language. All point to a highly intelligent species that are thought to be equal with cetaceans and primates.





I would say they are pretty equal as well. Check out these pages :

Would a Chimpanzee or Human win in a fist fight?

I was having mixed thoughts, because when chimps fight they hit for the chest but when humans fight we aim for the head. Which would win?|||Are you crazy. You know how strong a chimp is. They can rip you open. Serious i saw on the new. Very sad..|||thats a pretty broad question.





in a fight with 4 ounce gloves and the chimp was de-clawed and teeth removed in a traditional mma style fight, the human has a pretty good chance but id still put money on the chimp just because an average chimp is stronger than any human on earth along with better athleticism, agility and speed.





in a full out no rules fight in the jungle and the chimp has its teeth and everything...it would be a massacre. the chimp would utterly destroy its human opponent with ease. an average human would last seconds whereas a well trained military or martial artist would last maybe a few minutes with death of the human being the final result anyway. it sucks to have to admit that because i hate chimpanzees but its the sad truth.|||A chimp would rip your face off. Check out this pic of a lady who got into a fight with a chimp:

What do you think about the chimpanzee attack on the lady in Connecticut?

I thought pit bulldogs were bad actors but would anyone keep a savage and dangerous animal as this one was?It had already demonstrated belligerent behavior before this attack.|||I am shocked- I can't believe it. I thought we were safe here. I would expect to only hear of this in deepest darkest Africa. Not Connecticut!|||Pit bulls are not bad actors. They are perfectly acceptable pets - the problem is the owners. In this case, again, the problem is the owners. The animal was clearly raised to be like a person (they claimed that the chimp brushed it's teeth, drank wine from a glass, etc). This is not behavior from a normal person with a large dangerous animal in the house. This is the behavior from someone in deep denial about the nature of the animal and the life it requires. These people often believe that wild animals like chimps can be raised from a young age and be totally safe and domesticated. Unfortunately they refuse to listen to good advice from both people who know and from unfortunate incidents with similar animals that wild animals can never be safe and will never be domesticated. People often go for a long time with only minor incidents (at least publically) and this feeds into their mistaken belief that they really have achieved a domestic life with this wild animal. Sadly, the animal almost always pays the ultimate price for this behavior.|||Just as the others have said, any wild animal should be wild. End of story. Regardless of how nice or friendly any animal has been in the past, it's a wild animal for a reason, and will resort to those wild instincts if the situation rises up.





There should be laws against any wild animal being a pet. I love monkeys, they're smart and are my favorite animal, but I wouldn't ever consider owning one as a pet. It isn't right to the monkey or to the community.|||I couldn't watch the entire news report. It bothered me.

Evolution: when and where did the last pregnancy between the chimpanzee branch and the human branch occurred?

Your question is based on a misunderstanding of how evolution occurs.





It is a bit like asking when the last couple in Rome who spoke Latin got pregnant and gave birth to the first Italian-speaker.





Or (more to your branching question), when was the last child educated in Latin, and the branch occurred between the Italian branch and the French branch.








In other words, the process of evolution and branching occurs in *POPULATIONS*, not in *individuals*.





Consider a *POPULATION* of some primate species living in the mountain forests of Eastern Africa, consisting of (say) 10,000 individuals. If climate change causes the valleys between the mountain ranges to dry up, then if one population of 4,000 of them are in one mountain range that is separated from the other 6,000 in the remaining mountain ranges, then the two *POPULATIONS* will be unable to exchange genetics. So both populations will continue to have babies, and mutations, and experience natural selection, but in a way that new adaptations in one population have no way to spread to the other population. Until eventually the two populations will have lost the ability to interbreed. They are now two *species*. The ancestors of one could go on to become the chimpanzee branch, and the other the human branch.





But at NO POINT is there ever a "last pregnancy."








But to answer your question about *when* this branching occurred ... based on DNA evidence (the molecular clock, which counts mutations in certain key chromosomes where the mutations are known to occur at a certain rate per thousand years), this branching occurred between 4.5 and 6 million years ago.|||you mean the last time the ancestor of a human and theancestor of a chimp were able to interbreed?





because that's a very different question from what you asked...


you asked 'when's the last time a human and a chimp made a baby', that answer is NEVER (by definition of the word species)





if you meant 'the last time the ancestor of a human and theancestor of a chimp were able to interbreed' the answer is somewhere around 5 to 7 million years ago (the line's a little blurry)|||Molecular evidence places the branching at something like 6 to 7 million years ago. The present geographical range of chimps and the geographical limitations of fossils of human ancestors (not shared in common with chimps), such as /Australopithecus/, both indicate Africa. East Africa (in or around Ethiopia) is presently the best backed candidate.|||No one can tell you that, exactly.


It occurred some time between 7.5 million years ago and 4.5 million years ago, somewhere in Africa.





I usually say that it occurred about 5 million years ago, and that after that time there was no significant hybridization.|||Never. By the time chimpanzees and humans had evolved from their common ancestor, they had already become different species, so pregnancy could not have occurred.


.|||The final occurrence may have been as recently as 5.4 million years ago, but the divergence of the lines had already been underway.|||Never. Chimpanzee and Humans are from the same ancestor. Humans didn't come from chimpanzee.|||Creationism: Did god spit on his hand first before he jerked off a rib to start the whole female race?

They've retained this level of strength because it's been essential for their survival.

Any type of monkey can and do have the same issues as chimps they all belong in the wild.





The requirements for having a wild animal inside your home is very costly. They need tons of exercise and just like all animals do better with one of their own type.





They can literally destroy your home if not kept in a strong cage.

It was very obvious that this woman in CT was in over her head, and she new it when she gave her poor chimp zanax, she just couldn't admit it to herself.

What's the difference between how a chimpanzee understands human language. Compared to how a mute person?

(who could never speak since birth) understands human language.


They both hear and recognize words. But neither of them can use the words in speech.


What can a mute person do with human language that a Chimpanzee can't do.|||The human can fully comprehend all language (just spoken, in this experiment), but cannot express it vocally. However, her or she can express everything that he/she would normally express through sign language, or writing/typing, or typing something out in Morse code on a telegraph... he/she just completely understand and can express, with the sole exception of verbally.





The chimpanzee can recognize some words, but is unable to comprehend grammar, inflections that change the meaning of a word, particular use of one synonym instead of another, and so on. The chimpanzee does not comprehend the human language. They're like smart dogs. Sit, stay, food, hug, shake hands, put on a tutu and ride a unicycle... but it does not understand anything more than a simple concept associated with those sounds, not why those sounds mean something. It certainly cannot express anything more than very basic desires, such as reaching for food, or a hug, or other easily understood and expressed concepts.





They may be our closest genetic relatives -- but they wildly distant from anything resembling humans or human intelligence.

What can a mute person do with human language that a Chimpanzee can't do.|||Even though a mute person cannot speak a human language, he is still in fact a very active participant in the mainstream society. In which case, he is conditioned to naturally process and understand human language, and therefore respond to vocal commands.





Chimpanzees on the other hand:


1. Do not have the mental capacity to fully process the complexities of human speech and


2. Do not have the conditioning to respond to vocal commands.





Therein lies your answer: A mute person understands, and therefore can respond to speech; Chimpanzees cannot without artificial conditioning.|||the human brain is well develope so it allows the human brain to have the ability to maintain a large vocabulary and think process, and shows the information in a faster speed, for example teh human that can't speak might try to use physical action such as sign language to communicate with you,

its true that chimp is smart but they can't do the smilar things human due because of the complex structure of our brain|||A mute adult human has a much larger vocabulary, and can learn to write or sign to as to communicate like any other human in those media.
