George, "Thomas Aquinas Meets Nim Chimpsky: On the Debate about Human Nature and the Nature of Other Animals." www.godandscience.org/evolution/nim_chipmsky.html [Note: I do not endorse all of the material on this website; for example, I disagree with the denial that evolution has occurred.] Marie I. George, "Monkey Business." Mercatornet, Thursday, 12 July 2007. https://www.mercatornet.com/articles/view/monkey_business/ Video raising a question about whether some animals mourn the dead: Chimps reaction to dead chimp: https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/05/110512-zambia-chimpanzee-death-reaction-vin-video/ Bonnette, Dennis. “A Philosophical Critical Analysis of Recent Ape-Language Studies,” https://www.godandscience.org/evolution/ape-language.html From these (and other sources that you are free to research for yourselves) you are to debate this question: “Is human intelligence radically different from the type of intelligence present in apes?” Group 1 will argue it is. Group 2 will argue that it is not. Members of each group should start to figure out a winning strategy for the debate which will take place week 13. Each group will generate a Wiki that is to be used for this purpose. (When you click of your group, under the list of your groups members are various group tools, one of which is the group Wiki. You are not to put extensive texts up—this is not a term paper. You are to put an argument or two up, so that your classmates can add comments. You may generate new Wiki pages, if your group sees it as being useful. Sometimes you get a lame group and you and one or two other people are the only ones doing anything. Do the best you can, and I will take the situation into account, and not penalize you grade-wise. Note that if after a week or two goes by and I see nothing from you on the wiki, it will affect your grade for this component of the course.) my topic is Human intelligence is not radically different from the type of intelligence present in apesless
