Apes and humans are very similar.  They are mankind’s closest relatives.  There are a lot of similarities and differences between apes and humans.  The purpose of this report is to compare and contrast humans and apes.  I will be sharing the similarities and differences between their homes, different methods of communication and their physiology.  We will explore all of these things.  This will tell you how they live, communicate and how their bodies work compared to ours.

  Humans are the only mammal who cannot drink and breathe at the same time unlike apes who can.  The arms and legs of apes are far more superior to those of humans. Apes also use their feet to grasp food and other necessities but humans do not have this ability because the feet of a human are used to carry themselves around and help them to balance.  Additionally the skin of a human has very light hair all over, apart from the head, which otherwise makes humans apparently naked.  However on the other hand the hair of on the skin of apes is heavy letting them have good protection for the winter.

  Generally speaking the apes is a rain forest creature.  However the apes are also capable of inhabiting drier and less densely treed areas, as long as they have access to an amount of trees so they have shelter and can search for food.  Apes on the western side of the species’ range can be found living on the savanna- that vast, open, grass filled African plain that many of us imagine when we think of African wildlife.  Savanna dwelling apes do not seem to stray far from the  forests. Apes, like humans live in social groups nevertheless they travel around a lot so as to find food and water, whereas humans do not travel as much because humans have stores and shops so they do not need to move a lot.

  Apes communicate by using facial gestures, like sounds and sign language like humans; they have large brains and are extremely smart.  When they get into a fight they usually scream or make loud noises, humans also tend to do this.  They also give out hoots when fighting or arguing over little food.  When they are scared their lips start moving and they start screaming.  When humans are scared they scream also.  Apes also have senses that are alike humans.  They can learn sign language.  They can also communicate without using symbolic communication.  Apes are always good at seeing and understanding the behaviour and actions of those around them.
