primate rights

1.A primate is any mammal of the group that includes the lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans. Although there are some notable variations between some primate groups, they share several anatomic and functional characteristics reflective of their common ancestry. 2.A human being is a man, woman, or child of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other animals by superior mental development, power of articulate speech, and upright stance. 3.The research highlighted some key differences in the brain regions of humans and macaques, such as the ventrolateral frontal cortex circuits in the two species being different in the way that they interact with brain areas involved with hearing. 4.This could explain why monkeys perform very poorly in some auditory tasks and might suggest that we humans use auditory information in a different way when making decisions and selecting actions. 5.The research also revealed that a brain region known in humans as the lateral frontal pole in humans does not seem to have an equivalent area in the monkey. 6.That regions is involved with strategic planning, decision-making, and multi-tasking abilities. 7.This might relate to humans being particularly proficient in tasks that require strategic planning and decision making as well as 'multi-tasking". 8."Evolution" is conspiracy theory. 9.There"s the theory of evolution: that humans evolved from monkeys and there"s the theory that god made Adam and Eve and everything else of that nature. It all depends on what one believes in. 10.To your premise 13, yes humans don"t know anything automatically, but we learn to adapt and use our brain and resources quite effectively. 11.How is your premise 17 relevant? 12.To your premise 9, not all humans spend their entire lives learning to read, write, and teach" that"s an assumed premise because majority of society does. 13.I"m not sure what premises 19, 20, and 21 has to do with the argument, if you could clarify and connect it to why great apes should have rights that would be wonderful. 14.From a very young age, humans understand that; we have an innate ability to create new meanings by combining and ordering words in diverse ways. 15.One chimp name Nim had no such capacity, which is presumably true for all chimps. 16.Our ancestors stood up in the scrubby, dry areas of Africa. 17.Chimps in the forests did not. 18.Chimpanzees and gorillas live in social groups and show complex social behavior, but attempts to integrate them into human society have failed. 19.The chimps you see doing clever things in TV programs and films are juveniles, usually less than eight years old. 20.Juvenile chimps are quick to learn, and are amenable to human control, but an adult chimpanzee is a large and dangerous animal. 21. Adult chimps are far stronger than humans even though they are of similar size. 22. All apes are essentially wild animals, and although they can be kept in captivity they cannot be integrated into human society. 23.Therefore, Great Apes/Monkeys should not be considered humans and be denied rights. Controversial: 25, 9 Non-Controversial: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 The conclusion is of course controversial because the subject can be argued either way. Premise 9 is controversial as well because not all humans spend their lives learning to read and write. Most of the premises are non-controversial because they"re researched facts and you can"t really disapprove of them unless you do the research over yourself. Questions: Besides genetics, what else can you link in similarity to humans? Can apes be taught to be human? How can great apes be afforded rights and they don"t have the great ability to be proficient in decision making and strategic planning?
