WEEK 1

Time Articles

In Carl Zimmer's article, “Those who know the meaning of friendship”, Robert Seyfarth, who is a primatologist at the University of Pennsylvania, did the research about studying the chacma baboon’s friendship. I think this article is interesting because this research made me feel surprised. From this research, it showed that the female baboons with strong friendships would become longevity. I do not know why friendship will affect lifespan. I guess it is because social make people and animal feel happy, and good mood is benefit for body health

Animals Talk Even If We Can’t Understand Them “Animals are social creatures just like we are. They form relationships that for them can appear to be every bit as important as ours are to us, which means that at some point they must experience the end of them”. (Kluger, 60). I am interesting in this article because I agree with Kluger. I have pets and I think they can communicate with me even we speck in different languages. I always talk to my pets and I know they understand me. Animal have their own languages. However, if they are taught our languages, they will understand us. So do we. However, nobody know animal language so we are not able to learn it, that not meaning animal do not talk.
