Are humans the only apes that eat meat?

Many people think that humans and chimpanzees are the only primates that eat meat. But scientists have known about widespread meat-eating in primates for decades. Most primates feed on meat sporadically, and it represents less than the 1 percent of the diet in almost all 89 species.

Can humans eat gorilla meat?

The nation’s favoured dishes are gorilla, chimpanzee or monkey because of their succulent and tender flesh. According to one estimate, up to 3,000 gorillas are slaughtered in southern Cameroon every year to supply an illicit but pervasive commercial demand for ape meat . “Everyone is eating it,” said one game warden.

Are chimps cannibals?

Not really. Just as other animals don’t (often) survive on cannibalism alone, other chimpanzees are hardly chimps’ primary food source.

Is it wrong to eat apes?

Due to the close genetic make-up of humans and nonhuman primates, such as monkeys, we run the risk of passing life-threatening diseases from species to species. “Although bush meat is an important part of local diets, people will probably not starve if they forgo eating primates,”​ continued Hicks.

Can great apes live without brains?

Modern great apes live in heavily forested environments where the ability to climb trees is a big bonus — so they have no need for human bipedalism.  Creatures like chimpanzees and bonobos are capable of building nests, using rudimentary tools, appreciating beauty, and perhaps even mourning their dead — without our energy-guzzling big brains.

What are the disadvantages of great apes?

The fact that great apes resemble humans has its disadvantages for the animals, however: sometimes, they are treated as prostitutes and are being sexually abused, tied down in questionable brothels. Some female orangutans have sad lives indeed.

What do humans and great apes have in common?

The same blood types. Great apes and humans have the same blood types: A, B, AB and O. These types developed more than 20 million years ago; they’re something humans and all Old World monkeys share. Even some of the lesser apes like Gibbons have these blood types. The Rhesus factor isn’t limited to humans, either.

Why don’t great apes evolve bipedalism like humans?

That’s important to remember when we ask why our ape cousins aren’t evolving the traits that characterize humans. Modern great apes live in heavily forested environments where the ability to climb trees is a big bonus — so they have no need for human bipedalism.
