Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper that explores the similarities and relations between the human processes of memory and those of the animal species, primarily the Chimpanzee. Arguments defending both the similarities and the differences in the behavioral habits of the Chimpanzee as compared to those of the human species are presented, as well as recent research findings. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

social habits and cultural development of a number of native groups occupying different ecological sections of the continent (Vogel, 1999). Their combined data included a number of similarities between
the groups, yet also confirmed a total of thirty-nine distinct and unique behavioral patterns that could not be attributed to geographical or ecological influence (1999). Some of these behaviors
appeared to be modifications or adaptations of similar behaviors found among a number of the other groups, suggesting the possibility of travel and interaction among the groups. In a
normal cultural comparison among human population groups, this assumption would present a plausible explanation, for the differences could be attributed to mans learning skills and innovative capacities. This particular
comparison, however, focuses on the cultural and social habits not of Africas human natives, but instead its wide-ranging population of chimpanzees (Vogel, 1999). The combined comparisons of this study have
produced what primatologists call "the most exciting finding" of the past decade in the field of chimpanzee behavior (Vogel, 1999; PG). It has also served to reopen research avenues
that probe the similarities and parallels between the processes that constitute human memory and those that represent animal memory. II. Memory Processes of Man & of Animal - A
Comparison For centuries man has probed the questions and mysteries surrounding the working processes of the human brain and the elements within it that allow for the development of intelligence,
reasoning, and social evolution. Research has shown that the human brain is asymmetrical in both its structure and its function, and theories have been proposed that link this asymmetry
with evolution and the higher processes of reasoning (Annett, 1996). This idea is challenged by much of the scientific community, however, because a number of lower animal forms possess
