a month had passed since second semester started here in u.p. manila, and its been a while since our professor is discussing monkeys in our class for our social science 1 subject.although i find the topic interesting, i still don’t get it why we are taking up too much time discussing these apes. anyway, even though i can’t help but do nothing, here’s some facts i’ve learned ‘bout these primates:
* a chimp’s deoxyribonucleic acid is 98% identical to man’s.
* not only humans were gifted with “machiavellian intelligence,” monkeys too.
* based on studies, the feeling of love between primates isn’t all about sex.
* mating takes place seasonal. and when this time comes, the organ of a female monkey swells indicating that she wants to make love.
guess i’m gonna spend this semester studying apes.
