Video shows fossil and living human relatives and ancestors. Lucy, the female hominid australopithecine, was found by Paleoanthropologist Donald C. Johanson, who named her "Lucy" after the song "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" by John Lennon of The Beatles. The video also contains information about Cro-Magnon, Homo sapiens, Neanderthal, Homo heidelbergensis, Turkana, homo erectus, habilis, Ardipithecus, ramidus, Ardi, Paranthropus robustus, sediba, Taung, Peking, ergaster; our fossil relatives and ancestors bones; places such as Awash, Olduvai, Hadar, Africa, and Ethiopia; instruments such as scraper Hammerstone Handaxe and Neanderthal tools, DNA, art, and related information It also shows information about living close human relatives, such as the Bonobo, Gorilla, and chimpanzee It shows Kermit, the largest chimpanzee in captivity (deceased). He may be a member of a mysterious newly discovered species of human-sized chimpanzees. He may be the only photographed member in existence and the only one in captivity. The species might be an undiscovered genetic relative of human. It lives in a difficult to reach area. It represents a mysterious, new human-like ape, which lives in the northern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It has been reported that these apes, which sometimes walk upright, can stand up to 6-feet tall and to have 14-inch feet. They have the large body of the gorilla, but their face is flatter and more that of the chimpanzee. They seem to be a chimpanzee having the size and behavior of a gorilla. They sleep on the ground like gorillas, but eat a diet mainly consisting of fruit, as does the chimpanzee. It is unknown whether this is a new species of ape, or a new species of chimpanzee. Some have speculated that it might be a cross between the chimpanzee and gorilla, although it is unknown whether the chimpanzee and gorilla can breed. Thus, it might be an undiscovered genetic relative of humans. It is sometimes called the Bili ape. Perhaps this is humanity's closest living relative. The Bonobo, also called the Pygmy or Gracile Chimpanzee (Pan paniscus) belongs to the species (with the common chimpanzee) that is most closely related to humans. It is a highly endangered species. Video shows very rare vocalization of the Bonobo or Pygmy Chimpanzee. Few recordings of bonobo vocalizations exist. These bonobos answer people verbally. Bonobos also make a murmuring sound that is more difficult to record. They are highly intelligent and can read and write (using a computer). The bonobo, Kanzi, shown here has a large vocabulary. Maybe they have a language that people don't understand. Sharing more than 98% of its DNA with humans, the bonobo and chimp are our closest living relative.
