They also eat small mammals and birds if they are very hungry + Evolution, Darwin's theory, Genetic drift and its effect: History of science + Genetic drift: Evolutionary biology :: Classical genetics * Infections and extreme climate events are frequent causes. Occasionally, invasions by more competitive species can be devastating. The extinction of many Australian marsupials by foreign species is a famous example. Although the population has rebounded, its genetic variability is much less than that of the Southern elephant seal. Cheetahs have very little variation. We think the species was reduced to a small number at some recent time. Because it lacks genetic variation, it is in danger from infectious diseases.	{ "source": "generics_kb" }

Mondadori, Arnoldo Ed. Great book of the animal kingdom. Prairie dogs employ a complex form of communication that involves barks and rhythmic chirps. 2 Feb. 2010. * The prairie dog is well adapted to predators. They can detect predators from a far distance and alert other prairie dogs to the danger with a special, high-pitched call. Prairie dogs use different calls to identify specific predators. Their burrows generally contain several routes of escape.	{ "source": "generics_kb" }

Grooming helps chimps feel comfortable and friendly + Enterotype: Microbiology * It is based on the ecosystem that is created in the human intestinal system by the bacteria that exists there. Peer Bork and scientists that worked with him said in the April 2011 issue of 'Nature' that they have found three enterotypes. They think that people can be classified into one of three groups based on the bacteria in their intestines. The enterotype of each person is set while the person is an infant.

with the opposite arm and leg moving in unison * widely use copper. * will have same symptoms * willingly eat poisonous species considered delicacy, such as pufferfishes. + Abortion * In mammals, an 'abortion' is when a pregnancy ends early without the birth of babies. Abortions can occur naturally, usually because something went wrong with the pregnancy. When this happens, it is called a miscarriage. Humans can also end the pregnancy on purpose before birth takes place. This is called an 'induced abortion'. Different countries have different laws regarding induced abortion. While abortion is illegal in many countries, there are often exceptions that permit it in cases such as incest, rape, severe fetal defects or the mother's health being at risk. + Anthrax (disease): Diseases caused by bacteria * Both humans and other animals can get it. It is caused by the bacterium bacillus anthracis. The spores of the bacteria can live for hundreds of years. Humans usually catch the disease from animals. It is usually not passed from one human to another. Anthrax can be treated with antibiotics. There is also a vaccine against it. If not treated, anthrax often leads to death. * The lack of references don't detract from my point, however. All humans learn to speak before they read. I feel that remains true unless you are learning a language with no interaction with the people of the native language. That being said, it is necessary that we understand that English as Second Language learners are not the only people we are catering to. + Arm: Limbs and extremities * An 'arm' is a limb. Most humans have two arms each, coming out of their body just below the neck. On the end of each arm is a hand. Humans use arms and hands to do things to other objects, this is called manipulation. The main purpose of the hand is to grasp objects. Some other primates have arms which they use to move around by holding onto trees or supporting themselves as they walk along the ground. * Biologists since Linnaeus put humans in the animal order of primates. Apes are also primates, and are the nearest animal relations to humans. Humans, like other primates, are social animals. Humans are bipedal, which means they walk on two legs. Humans have a complex brain, which lets them use language, make ideas, and feel emotions. This brain, and the fact that arms are not needed for walking, lets humans use tools, which they do more than any other species. + Breast: Torso :: Sexuality * The 'breast' is an organ on the lower chest region of humans and other primates. Humans have two breasts. Both boys and girls have breasts at birth, but during puberty, the breasts on women become larger and visible. The breasts have mammary glands that produce milk. Breastfeeding is letting an infant drink breast milk. + Brucellosis: Diseases :: Diseases caused by bacteria * Brucellosis is a zoonosis, a disease that is spread from animals to humans. Humans get the disease by drinking milk that is unsterilized, or by eating meat from sick animals. Sometimes, but not very often, the disease can be spread from human to human. + Cleidoic egg, Discussion, Reproductive strategy: Reptiles :: Birds :: Zoology :: Developmental biology :: Evolutionary biology :: Biological reproduction * Because the eggs are laid on land, internal fertilisation is needed. Thus, from the initial step of a cleidoic egg comes a number of changes in behaviour. With the changes in behaviour comes better and more flexible brains. Some reptiles, for example, crocodiles and birds,Birds, of course, are reptiles by descent. All mammals provide milk for their young, and many smaller mammals raise their young in burrows, providing a meaasure of security. Humans go even further still, with the long period of learning before their young are independent. Also, in human evolution, there is a reduction in instinctive behaviour, which is inherited. Instead, there is a great increase in learned behaviours and social life. These later adaptations were made possible by the earlier evolution of the cleidoic egg. + Clothing * Humans are the only animals which wear clothing. Clothing is made from many materials, such as cotton, wool, or polyester fabrics and leather. In cold climates, people also wear heavy, thick coats such as trenchcoats. + Common misconceptions, Science, Human body and health, The senses: Society :: Lists :: Knowledge * Humans have more than five senses. Although definitions vary, the actual number ranges from 9 to more than 20. Other senses sometimes identified are the sense of time, itching, pressure, hunger, thirst, fullness of the stomach, need to urinate, need to defecate, and blood carbon dioxide levels. + Computer, History of computers, Automation: Tools * Humans have a problem with math. To show this, try doing 584 x 3,220 in your head. People made tools to help them remember where they were in a math problem. The other problem people have is that they have to do the same problem over and over and over again. A cashier used to make change every day in her head or with a piece of paper. That took a lot of time and people made mistakes. * I've tagged well over 1,000 articles for quick deletion, made well over 2,000 vandalism reversions and have been an overall good user to this site. I believe that I have a real use for the tools and I believe that I have matured enough for the position. People say that I should wait for someone to nominate me, but the truth of the matter is is that nobody really wants to nominate me because they all believe that I am incapable of doing the tasks that an administrator has to do. To those people, I cannot believe that you would think that. Sure, I still make a few mistakes sometimes, but I am only human. Humans make mistakes. I do not believe that I am still leaping into situations without thinking anymore. In fact, I do not believe that I do that at all. Please let me prove to you that I can be a successful admin on this site. Please let me have the opportunity to prove to you that I can handle the tools, because I believe that I am qualified to fill the position of sysop. Several prominent users over on the English Wikipedia have stated that I have an excellent grasp of the policies that are relevant to administrative duties, and I believe that I have made an impact on the workings of this Wikipedia with the creation of 2,130 articles, correct tagging of more than 600 articles for quick deletion, more than 1,000 correct vandalism reversions, and the general want to help this community. + Coprophagia: Health :: Zoology * Coprophagia' is the eating of faeces. Many animals eat faeces, either their own or that of other animal groups. Adding pineapple to their food is a well recognized solution for many dogs. Humans do it only on rare occasions and it is looked down upon in society. Eating one's feces can also spread disease. + Death * When people talk about things or events that lead to the death of a plant or animal, those things or events are usually described as being deadly, or fatal. In the case of diseases, they are described as 'terminal'. Humans are no different from any other lifeform. Our bodies have an ability for self-repair, but that ability is limited. Finding the cause of death is a medical speciality called pathology. In medicine, death is when the heart stops beating for more than several minutes. There are special times in which people recover even though the heart has stopped for 30 minutes, such as near-drowning in very cold water. If machines are used to help the heart and lungs work, then the moment of death is more difficult to know. + Decision theory: Mathematics * Humans have only limited capabilities to reach a decision. This is taken into account. + Digestion: Digestive system * This happens in the gastrointestinal system. Humans start digesting food in the mouth. Food is chewed by the teeth. Food is swallowed, which means it goes through the oesophagus. It goes into the stomach, where it is mixed with acid. + Down syndrome: Trisomies * It comes from a problem with the genes. Humans are diploid organisms. This means that for each chromosome, there are two copies, one from the mother, and one from the father. During meiosis the number is reduced to one set of chromosomes. People with Down syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21, or part of it. They usually have some measure of mental handicap, but this can range from mild to severe. + Epistle of James, Sources and contents: General Epistles :: New Testament books * The central theme is the true wisdom that comes from God as opposed to false wisdom. The moral teaching revealed from on high, is not human but divine wisdom. Humans can only analyse it, enter into it more deeply and put it into practice. It is an objective ethics needed to see life in its proper perspective and to be guided in action. Earthly wisdom, on the contrary, is a permanent temptation in people who want to decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong, only to end in justifying wicked behaviour. + Fuzzy logic: Artificial Intelligence * Humans tend to use a combination of predicate logic and fuzzy logic. That is why you see outfielders in baseball run to a spot and then move around as the ball gets closer. + Garden of Eden, Having to leave the Garden, Judaism: Old Testament * Judaism teaches that sin cannot be passed on from the parents to their children. There is a free will, everyone is responsible for their own sins only. Humans can do bad things and good things. God's commandments help them do good things. What exactly makes up the Commandments of God is not written down, but needs to developed by tradition. Unlike Christianity, Judaism has no personified evil. + Hair, Human hair, Hair color, Genetics and chemistry * Pheomelanin colors hair red. Eumelanin determines the darkness of the hair color. A low concentration of brown eumelanin results in blond hair, but more brown eumelanin will color the hair brown. High amounts of black eumelanin result in black hair, while low concentrations give gray hair. All humans have some pheomelanin in their hair. + Hand: Limbs and extremities * A 'hand' is the body part at the end of an arm. Most humans have two hands each, usually with four fingers and a thumb. On the inside of the hand is the palm. When the fingers are all bent tightly the hand forms a fist. The joints that are the hardest part of the fist are called knuckles. Many other animals have hands that can hold things, especially other primates. Human hands can do things other hands cannot. + Herbivore: Animals :: Ecology * Humans are omnivores, because they eat meat as well as vegetable matter. People who eat mostly plants are usually called vegetarians. + Heterotroph, In food chains, Omnivores: Biology :: Ecology * Consumers that eat both plants and animals are called omnivores. Humans are a good example of an omnivorous consumer. + Hexadecimal numeral system: Numbers * Humans tend to use the decimal system. For convenience, engineers working with computers tend to group bits together. This is called octal. + Human evolution, Humans are similar to great apes: Evolution :: Anthropology * By 1859, zoologists had known for a long time that humans were, in their anatomy, similar to the great apes. But the similarities were more basic than the differences. Humans also have features with a much older history, from early in the life of vertebrates - migration: Migration - nature, Biological theories: Psychology :: Humans * Humans are mammals, and have developed by a process of evolution. It follows that what is called human nature is inherited, and had been the product of natural selection. On human nature'. Harvard University Press. This is the question of nature vs nurture, and the subject-matter of evolutionary psychology. Confer 'et al.' 2010 + Human, Culture, null, Language * Language at its most basic is talking, reading and writing. The study of language is called linguistics. Humans have the most complicated languages on Earth. Human language is much more complicated than any other species. There are 7,300 languages spoken around the world as of 2008 - Race and ethnicity - Habitats, settlements and population * Humans can now change their environment to solve problems. The many tall buildings in Hong Kong are an example of people solving the problem of too many people in one place. * Humans have a large effect on the world. Humans are at the top of the food chain and are generally not eaten by any animals. Humans have been described as Super Predators because of this. Because of industry and other reasons humans are said to be a big cause of global climate change - Important features: Hominins * Humans have a long period of development after birth. Partly, this is because they have a great deal to learn. Their life depends less on instinct than other animals, and more on learning. Humans are also born with their brains not so well developed as other mammals. There is a good reason for this. If their brains were better developed they would be larger, and this would make birth more difficult. * Humans are the only species living today known to build fires, to cook their food and wear clothes. Humans use more technology than any other animal on Earth ever has. Humans like things that are beautiful and like to make art, literature and music. Humans use education and teaching to pass on skills, ideas and customs to the next generations - Origins * Humans are part of the animal kingdom. They are mammals, which means that they give birth to their young ones, rather than laying eggs like reptiles or birds, and females feed their babies with breast milk. Humans belong to the order of primates. Apes like gorillas and gibbons are also primates + Inattentional blindness: Cognition * Humans can only track a number of changes in their environment. They will track the changes that look important to them. + Infertility * Infertile' means not able to have children or other offspring. Humans can be infertile, but animals and plants can too. When a human couple is infertile, they sometimes have fertility treatment to have children. They also sometimes adopt a child. + Jumping spider, Behaviour: Spiders * They often hunt high up in bushes, or on vertical walls. To save themselves from falling they do something very much like what climbers do to protect themselves in the mountains. Humans tie a rope to the mountain and attach the other end to the harness they wear. Jumping spiders attach silk from their spinnerets to the thing on which they are standing and then they jump. While they are moving through the air they make silk so that there is always a safety rope trailing out behind them. + Lactase, Lactase evolution in humans: Genetics :: Enzymes :: Evolutionary biology * Humans are somewhat different. Some humans continue to produce lactase, and some do not. It is a type of polymorphism. Itan, Yuval 'et al.' 2010. BMC Evolutionary Biology'. + Lactose intolerance, Lactase evolution in humans: Health problems :: Biochemistry :: Genetics :: Evolutionary biology * Humans are somewhat different from other mammals. Some humans continue to produce lactase, and some do not. It is a type of genetic polymorphism. + Life cycle * In some cases the process is slow, and the changes are gradual. Humans have various steps during their lives, such as zygote, embryo, child and adult. The change from child to adult is slow and continuous. In many societies it is marked by ceremonies at puberty. * Language may be done by speech or by writing or by moving the hands to make signs. It follows that language is 'not' just any way of communicating. Humans also use language for thinking. + Mencius, The main observations made by Mencius: Chinese philosophers :: Humanism :: 4th century BC births :: 3rd century BC deaths * Humans have four virtues or powers. + Nature: Bionics * From one point of view, humans are a prime example of nature, and are the most widely studied natural inhabitants of the planet earth. Humans interact with each other in their natural environment on a constant basis. Every part of nature everything from the air to the dirt on the ground is interdependent. Medicine studies humans in health and sickness. + Ocean pollution, Sources of ocean pollution, Trash dumping: Water pollution * Humans dump trash in lots of places, like the ocean. In the 1980s, scientists became alarmed by the kind of trash that was washing up on beaches. Bandages, bottles of blood and needles were found. Some of the blood in the bottles even had the AIDS virus. And some of this trash goes in the ocean. + Organ (anatomy) * In biology, an 'organ' is a group of tissues that work together. Organs are parts of an organism. Every organ has a reason to be there. Humans have many organs. + Prognathism: Bones :: Face * Humans have 'orthognathic' faces. That means the faces is more or less vertical. The human lineage'. + Racism, null, null, Race and ethnicity: Discrimination :: Hatred * Humans often categorize themselves by race or ethnicity. Human races are questionable as valid biological categories. Human racial categories are based on both ancestry and visible traits such as skin color and facial features. Current genetic studies show that humans from Africa are most genetically diverse. But, human gene sequences are very similar compared to many other animals. + Roe, Around the world, Asia, Japan * Color ranges from orange to light yellow. Humans eat the roe either raw or briefly cooked. Sea urchin roe is a popular food in Korean cuisine. + Species: Taxonomy * All animals or plants that are the same kind belong to the same species. Humans are another species. This is the basis for deciding to have a species named 'Felis catus'. However, giving a simple definition of 'species' is rather difficult, and many people have tried. Wilkins, John 2006. Reports of the National Center for Science Education'. + Spoon: Food utensils * A 'spoon' is a tool for eating. Humans use spoons every day. + Symbiosis: Ecology :: Cell biology :: Evolutionary biology * The relevance of symbiosis is its frequency and its evolutionary significance. There appear to be no higher plants or animals without symbionts. Those symbionts are of great importance to the larger organisms, who in most cases would be unable to live as they do without their symbionts. Mycorrhiza in higher plants, and gut flora in insects and vertebrates are examples. Humans are no exception. + Tears: Eye * Most mammals make this type of tear simply out of pain. Humans are the only known mammals to cry as an emotional reaction. Some studies suggest that elephants and gorillas may do this, too. + World of Warcraft, Gameplay, Races, Alliance: 2004 video games :: Blizzard video games :: Massively multiplayer online role-playing games :: Windows games	{ "source": "generics_kb" }

One type consists of one very large male and an average of 15 females. The other group-type is multi male and multi female, and can include up to 200 members. Mandrills are predominantly terrestrial. They sleep in trees at a different site each night. Their bright colors help groups of mandrills follow each other in the dense forest.	{ "source": "generics_kb" }
