Gibbons, for instance, are strictly monogamous but other great apes, such as polygynous gorillas and promiscuous chimpanzees, are not. Only about 3 per cent of mammal species are monogamous and it has been a puzzle as to why it evolved in some monkeys and apes but not others. On November 24, 1974, fossils of one of the oldest known human ancestors, an Australopithecus afarensis specimen nicknamed “Lucy,” were discovered in Hadar, Ethiopia. Given that she was on one of the islands that comprise the River Gambia National Park then disease, a fall, drowning, snake bite, being snatched by a crocodile, lightning strike or even depression, are each more likely causes of her death than being killed by poachers. The truth is that no-one knows how Lucy died. Renowned evolutionary psychologist Gordon Gallup coined the term humanzee which refers to a human-chimp crossbreed - a scientifically possible hybridisation which was attempted throughout the 20th century. The difference makes bearing healthy young difficult, and the offspring would be infertile. A HUMAN-chimpanzee hybrid was born in a Florida lab 100 years ago before being killed by panicked doctors, according to a scientist. However, humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in our DNA, while chimps only have 22. Humans and chimps have DNA that is 95 percent similar, and 99 percent of our DNA coding sequences are the same as well. Lucy was buried on the island where she spent the last years of her life. Jane admitted she would never do the experiment again, expressing regret at taking Lucy away from her mother. Gua died of pneumonia on December 21, 1933, less than a year after she left the Kelloggs family and just after turning three years old.‘ Janis continues to work with chimpanzees for rehabilitation at the Gambian National Park. Gua was returned to the primate center with Robert Yerkes in Florida, where she was the subject of further studies by Yerkes' wife Ada. On March 28, 1932, nine months into the experiment, the Kelloggs officially ended it as Donald began to copy Gua's sounds. Oliver’s companion Raisin was at his side. Gua could not speak, but Donald could form words. Oliver, 55, a chimpanzee who was promoted in his youth as The Humanzee, was found dead on Jin his sleeping hammock at the Primarily Primates sanctuary near San Antonio, Texas, operated by Friends of Animals. Donald was about 16 months and Gua was a little over a year old when they had language testing. The parting difference came with language. Gua recognized people from their clothes and their smell while Donald recognized them by their faces. Slight differences in their placement included people recognition. When she was around one year old, Gua often tested ahead of Donald in such tasks as responding to simple commands or using a cup and spoon. For nine months the Kelloggs raised the two as "brother and sister", and comprehensively recorded the development of the chimpanzee and the human child. Gua was brought into the Kellogg home at the age of 7 + 1⁄ 2 months, and reared with their son Donald, who was 10 months old at the time. She was given, along with her mother, Pati, and her father, Jack, to the old Orange Park, Florida, site of the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center, by Pierre Abreu on after the death of his mother, Madame Rosalia Abreu. Gua was the first chimpanzee to be used in a cross-rearing study in the US.
Gua was a chimpanzee raised as though she were a human child by scientists Luella and Winthrop Kellogg alongside their infant son Donald.
