Hanging with Our Ancestors: Luke Fannin on Climbing, Evolution & Ape LocomotionEver wondered why kids instinctively love monkey bars? Or why apes move so deliberately in the trees? In this episode of Talking Apes, biological anthropologist Luke Fannin takes us on a journey through the evolution of climbing, exploring how primates, from ancient hominins to modern chimps, have adapted to life in the canopy.Luke breaks down the surprising biomechanics of climbing up vs. climbing down, revealing why descending may have played a bigger role in human evolution than we ever imagined. We'll also uncover how playgrounds, rock climbers, and even early tool-making tie into our primate past. It's a fascinating deep dive into movement, survival, and the hidden connections between our everyday actions and our evolutionary history.Explore Luke's publications on his Google Scholar profile.Read Luke's article: The Surprisingly Scientific Roots of Monkey BarsSend us a textSupport the showTalking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

Gene writes “I was around 13 or 14. It was about the third weekend of November. I know this because I was deer hunting. We were on land belonging to Peabody coal company in Muhlenberg county. At that time was 62,000 acres of reclaimed coal land. It was around 4 pm. I was standing in a field looking north, my father had went down a holler to the west of me. I heard my father shoot three times. This was strange because he always shot once and a deer was down. I then moved to the mouth of the holler to see if any deer would be running my direction. I then started to hear people talking, I could not understand what was being said, but I could hear it. I thought well dad is talking to someone and has killed a deer. I proceeded to head down the holler to help him.The holler was open hard woods and you could see a long ways, except for right at the bottom where a intermediate stream was. I got about 50 yards from the brush when two animals busted out of it running straight at me. They were covered with long reddish brown hair about three inches long and were knuckle walking like a great ape. They were about four feet at the shoulder and their hips were lower than their shoulders and knees. Their faces were flat and I saw no ears.They were chattering to each other or something else and that was the voices I heard “talking”. While at this time in my life I did believe in Bigfoot, since my father was a long haul truck driver and another truck driver had claimed a Bigfoot had run behind my dads truck near the Kentucky-Tennessee line, but for me Bigfoot was single creature that walked up right. Anyway, these two animals are running straight at the 13/14 year old me and I do not know what they are.I yank my 30:06 rifle up and fire. I do not think I even aimed, just shot towards them. When I did this there was a big noise behind me and I remember thinking “ they have me surrounded” I spun around to defend myself and saw a squirrel running up a hickory tree right beside me. I spun back around to the threat I knew and they had already crossed the brush bottom and was halfway up the ridge on the other side and I shot at them once more as they run off. They very fast. Once I meet up with my father, he confirmed that he had also shot at these creatures, but was shook up enough to have missed three times. We tried to convince ourselves that these were some sort of wolf and lived under that delusion for many years, until I began studying primates on an academic level, did I let myself believe what I know to be true all along.One thing that scares me to this day is the thought of were they chattering to each other or to mom or dad that was near by that I never saw. I have hunted that area since I was 12 and I just turned 50 this year and I have never set foot in that holler again.”    

Growing Up Chimp: Lessons on Life, Leadership, and the Mystery of PubertyWhat does it really mean to grow up? For chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, the journey from infancy to adulthood is as complex, awkward, and revealing as our own. In the latest episode of Talking Apes, primatologist Dr. Kris Sabbi takes us deep into the lives of juvenile chimps, exploring the web of social behaviors, hormonal development, and environmental factors that shape who they become.Dr. Sabbi's groundbreaking work tracks chimps from playful juveniles to wise adults, uncovering insights about everything from leadership styles to the mysteries of puberty. What happens when a new alpha male transitions from fierce competitor to gentle caretaker? How do social interactions and play behaviors shape a chimp's future? The answers offer fresh perspectives on the pivotal moments that connect us to our primate cousins.Through entertaining anecdotes—like the art of collecting chimp urine—and fascinating discoveries about hormonal milestones, this episode unveils the parallels between growing up chimp and growing up human. How does exposure to aggression affect early play behaviors? Can chimpanzees follow our gaze, and what does it mean for their social intelligence?Tune in now to learn all about growing up as a chimpanzee!Send us a textSupport the showTalking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have observed a male orangutan, Rakus, using plants as medicine—a first-ever recording of a wild animal self-medicating for wound care. This unique behavior was spotted in the jungle, where Rakus chewed the stem and leaves of a plant known for its anti-inflammatory properties and applied it to his injured cheek. The wound, likely caused by a territorial fight, healed within a month.What makes this finding extraordinary is its implications for both orangutans and humans. Dr Isabelle Laumer, the lead researcher and guest on our latest Talking Apes episode, highlights how Rakus' actions could offer insights into the evolutionary roots of self-medication in primates, possibly tracing back to a common ancestor. Her research opens up questions about how much orangutans—and perhaps other great apes—might already know about medicinal plants in their environment.Join us for this special Orangutan Caring Week episode to explore how this discovery reshapes our understanding of primate intelligence, behavior, and our shared evolutionary past.

Lee Berger, National Geographic Explorer in Residence and real-life Indiana Jones with tales of his hominid discoveries, many of which have rewritten the story of palaeoanthropology. (R)National Geographic Explorer in Residence, Lee Berger, entered the field of palaeoanthropology when there was an infinitesimally tiny chance he would discover anything, while digging around South Africa.But this real-life Indiana Jones kept bucking the odds.He kept unearthing previously unseen parts of hominids - the group known as the Great Apes; comprising modern humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans plus all their immediate ancestors.First, he found a pair of hominid teeth in southern Africa. Then after a fossil hunting dry spell, his 9-year-old son Matthew found the jawbone of an entirely new hominid species.A few years later came Lee's most extraordinary discovery yet: a nearly inaccessible cave filled with skeletons of another new hominid species which seemed to be violating all the rules.The story of what happened in this cave revolutionises what we understand about the origins of our own human species.This episode of Conversations discusses the origin of human life, archaeology, science, research, caving, adventure, Indiana Jones, human species, evolution, Charles Darwin, theories of evolution, Africa.

“So it's a very special experience because you're suddenly connecting to a species which you feel you know. The gorilla looks at you and you look at them and there's a very strong rapport. A kind of connection saying, ‘Haven't we seen each other before?'” We're in great company with Praveen Moman, the pioneer in Great Ape tourism, celebrating the 25th Anniversary of his conservation and ecotourism brand, Volcanoes Safaris, where he has been at the forefront of reviving the post-conflict Uganda and Rwanda - centered around his five luxury lodges and safari experiences near the threatened gorilla and chimpanzee populations. A ‘visionary conservationist' with numerous awards and recognitions, Praveen followed in his family's footsteps - first pitching a tent in the wild and now 25 years later, developing lodges that are sensitive to local culture and aesthetics, and connected to the local community and conservation projects. In this episode, Praveen shares his personal love for his homeland, his professional admiration for Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall, and Volcanoes Safaris' commitment to the protection of these safari experiences for generations to come. Top Takeaways [1:40] Praveen Moman's childhood was unlike most yet instrumental to the man he is today. Listen as he shares his appreciation for his British education, Indian heritage and East African environment.  [10:10] First impressions are lasting impressions - especially when it comes to your first encounter with a gorilla, as Praveen learned many years ago. [15:00] To understand the positive impact Volcanoes Safaris has on the gorilla population, local economy and broader ecosystem, one must first understand the history of human interaction with the Great Ape - from initial discovery to respected research to conservation tourism - and how this model could be replicated across other destinations at risk of over-tourism.  [30:30] What started as temporary tents turned into luxury lodge accommodations, built in an instinctual way with local materials melded in a way that showed the ingenuity of the minds of their local makers.  [31:50] With 3 lodges near the mountain gorilla parks (Virunga Lodge in Rwanda, Bwindi Lodge and Mount Gahinga Lodge in Uganda) and 2 lodges focused on the chimpanzees (Kyambura Gorge Lodge and Kibale Lodge in Uganda) - each lodge is delicately balanced with what the local cuisines, cultures and traditions are, with what is palatable to an international guest. [45:30] With 98% of our DNA identical to that of gorillas, we have a duty to ensure their survival alongside ours.   Notable Mentions First gorilla sighting by German, Robert von Beringe in 1902 Creation of the national park in 1925 inspired by American, Carl Akeley Research by biologist, George Schaller  Primatologists and conservationists, Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund Gorilla Doctors Conservation Through Public Health Jane Goodall Institute  Adventure Travel Trade Association Visit For Yourself Volcanoes Safaris Website  Volcanoes Safaris YouTube Videos @volcanoes_safaris Stay In Good Company Website

Often when we talk about what is the appropriate diet for ourselves we refer to our evolutionary past. The implication is that we should eat like our closest evolutionary ancestors... the Great Apes...but that is completely different from how we eat now. By comparing the ‘gut' of 70 different mammalian species, we are most aligned with the dog (‘man's best friend) and the cat ( man's other best friend') why is that?As a reference for this discussion I recommend listening to or watching a presentation by Dr. Ann Childers a psychiatrist that works with patients and mental disorders:Stone Age Body, Space Age Diet - Dr. Ann Childers——————————— OUR COURSE —————————— PSMF 30 day course: https://www.thebiointegrationcode.com/courses/PSMFChallenge————WHERE WE GET OUR GENOME SNP ANALYSIS DONE—————Strategene https://bit.ly/3iqCfka ——————————WHERE WE GET YOUR LABS DONE—————https://www.UltaLabTests.com/ketonaturopath ————————— WHERE WE BUY OUR SUPPLEMENTS ——————https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/drgoldkamp/signupWhy get a Fullscript account to get your supplements?? 1.

[School of Movies 2024] Fixed the title on this one, to both distinguish it from 2021s Godzilla vs. Kong, AND to give the rightful prominence to the Great Ape whose movie this most definitely is. Willow suggested the original title would be as misleading as "Loki x Thor: Ragnarok". This is my favourite of the new MonsterVerse films, by a narrow margin, considering Godzilla II: King of the Monsters is still absolutely magnificent. Just like that 2019 entry, it's also one of my favourite films of the year, for reasons I will elaborate upon in depth here. Rejoining us for this Hollow-Earth saga of deposing one of several gorilla dictators we've seen on the big screen this year is the chap who knows more about kaiju films than I know about not treading upon the sensitive tootsies of Godzilla fans, who will hopefully be happy to hear we will be back next week for the incredible new Japanese film, 'Minus One'!

Welcome to your all-local daily news podcast serving Metro Detroit! We kick off with the heartwarming news of a baby gorilla born at the Detroit Zoo, the first in nearly 100 years. Bandia, a first-time mom, and her baby are doing well, although the Great Apes building is temporarily closed to guests to give them a calm and quiet space.  Next, we discuss the upcoming opening of Primark's first Michigan store at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills. Set to open on September 12, the new location will offer over 36,000 square feet of retail space with the latest fashion trends, household essentials, and beauty supplies at affordable prices. Notably, Primark is known for paying fair wages, with sales associates starting at $15.25 an hour. Norris shares his experiences with Primark in Boston and London, comparing it to a larger, more affordable H&M. In downtown Detroit, the Cadillac Square development, previously known as the Monroe Blocks, is facing delay. Dan Gilbert's Bedrock is expected to request an extension to begin construction. The revised plan includes fewer residences and office space but adds a concert venue. Jer and Norris discuss the implications of these changes and the potential impact on the area. On the east side, Detroit is launching its first single-family waterfront home development in over 24 years at Shorepoint Village on Greyhaven Island. The project includes ten new homes with docks, high-end finishes, and 24-hour gated security, with prices starting at half a million dollars. The development aims to attract buyers from surrounding affluent areas. Don't miss this engaging discussion on the latest happenings in Detroit. Share your thoughts with us at dailydetroit@gmail.com.

Amidst the harsh terrain and frequent fires of Senegal's savanna landscape lives a community of remarkable chimps. What makes them different from their forest-dwelling kin? And what can they reveal about human evolution?  Join us on World Chimpanzee Day for a journey into the heart of the savanna to explore the world of chimps with Dr Jill Pruetz. Following her pioneering research in Senegal's savanna habitat, Jill reveals her incredible discoveries about the behavior of our closest relatives, offering insights into the lives of our early hominin ancestors. 'I hadn't anticipated fire as a part of their environment, and it's a major part of their environment.'At Fongoli, Jill has encountered a fascinating array of behaviors that defy conventional wisdom about chimpanzees. From navigating wildfires and soaking in water for thermoregulation, to the systematic use of tools for hunting bush babies, the savanna chimps exhibit behaviors unlike any seen before.‘There were chimps hanging out in this cave!'One of the most striking discoveries was the remarkable imbalance between male and female hunting capabilities. Contrary to the norm observed in other chimp populations, females at Fongoli were the primary hunters, wielding tools with precision to secure prey. This unique cultural phenomenon challenges traditional views of chimp behavior and demonstrates the complexity of social dynamics across different chimpanzee communities.Tune in to learn more now, on Talking Apes Podcast. To support The Fingoli Savanna Chimpanzee Project:https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/fongoli-savanna-chimpanzee-project/ Send us a Text Message.Support the Show.Talking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

One of the most charismatic species of the rainforests of south-east Asia is the orangutan. The orangutan is the only wild species of Great Ape found in Asia, with the remaining three,  gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos, found in Africa.  Until 1996, the orangutan was considered one individual species. However, since then the species has been divided into three subspecies, which include the Borneon, Sumatran, and Tapanuli Orangutan. Historically, the orangutan's range spread across southeast Asia and south China. Now, the species is found in fragmented populations scattered across the Borneon and Sumatran rainforests. The species, unfortunately, is on the brink of extinction, with all three subspecies classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List.  Habitat loss, driven by the rampant expansion of palm oil plantations, is the primary threat to these ecological engineers. The bushmeat trade also looms large on the species. In this episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, I interview Michelle Desilets, the Executive Director of the Orangutan Land Trust to discuss the future and conservation of the charismatic Great Ape.

Join Fazale Rana and Hugh Ross as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, including the reality of God's existence. Chimp Tactical Behavior Researchers from the Tai Chimpanzee Project operating out of the Ivory Coast recently reported that chimpanzees make use of high ground to gain tactical information about rival groups. This is the first time that this human-like behavior has been observed in other animals. According to these researchers this behavior requires advanced cognitive skills and provides insight into humanity's evolutionary origins. What do these observations say about human uniqueness and human exceptionalism? Do human beings only differ in degree, not kind, from the Great Apes? In this episode, biochemist Fuz Rana discusses this impressive study and engages these challenging questions. New Big Bang Test Astronomers used the SIBELIUS DARK computer simulation to test the predictions of the standard LCDM big bang creation model and standard galaxy formation theory. Based on these predictions, SIBELIUS DARK successfully reproduced the spatial distributions of galaxies in the Laniakea supergalaxy cluster. It agreed with the observed excess of giant elliptical galaxies along the supergalactic plane. The simulation also revealed—contrary to previous studies—new confirmation that large disk and elliptical galaxy formation fits key predictions of the LCDM big bang model.  Links & Resources PLAYLIST –  Stars, Cells, and God   Sylvain R.

Orangutan means "Forest Person" in old Malaysian.. There is so much to learn about these big orange peaceful animals. Leif Cocks, the founder and director, of the "Orangutan Project" has had a love for these guys almost his whole life. That connection to them really shines through in this episode. These guys prefer to stay in the trees... more than any other great ape. Even as big as to get they are the most peaceful of the great apes too. I can't imagine anyone not finding this episode facinating.  www.theorangutanproject.org        ig The Orangutan Project  fb The Orangutan Project  tiktok theorangutanproject www.furrealpodcast.com    ig thefurrealpodcast  fb thefurrealpodcast threads thefurrealpodcast Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

What does an ocean conservation president do when everything shuts down during a pandemic?   Well, she discovers a world full of life and wonder in the urban Los Angeles landscape, of course.  In between field study assignments for whales and dolphins as part of her landmark marine biology studies, she found astonishing forms of nature in the most unlikely places.  We talk about her journey both as a scientist and wildlife advocate, and I explain why she's an incredible 'Forest Educator' despite being far from most forests on a daily basis.    "What about Kelp?" I think to myself, but our small definitions don't really matter in light of the ecological crisis unfolding before us on a daily basis. Maddalena is the author of the recently published Stranded: Finding Nature in Uncertain Places, as well as Beautiful Minds: The Parallel Lives of Great Apes and Dolphins, and Dolphin Confidential: Confessions of a Field Biologist.   Her stories and writing describe a lifetime of passion for the natural world, and our conversation dives into her many books, as well as her work as the President and co-founder of the Ocean Conservation Society.
