A chimpanzee recognizes a face as a human (assignment 5)

The skill inherited from common ancestors

A human recognizes faces faster and in a different way than other characters. Before this had been only considered as our ability but now it has turned out chimpanzees also detect the face just as effectively as humans.
The thing worked out when Japanese Masaki Tomonaga and Tomoko Imura teached three female chimpanzees to find for example cars, bananas, faces among other pictures. Chimpanzees spotted their same species comrades face nimbler than other pictures.

The reverse face is not visible

in humans, face recognition is based on the rapid perception of the whole, and the same seems to apply to chimpanzees.
Just like humans chimpanzees recognized faces much worse when the image was turned upside down. Also hiding the eyes, nose, and mouth made the process much slower.
Instead of changing the picture to black and white it didn't interrupt face recognition. The headache for researchers was that as quickly as the faces of chimpanzees, they found bananas in the picture.
The quick perception of the fruit was not as much a picture of the whole edible recognition of the face.
When the pictures were switched to black and white, the bananas like disappeared. It was easy to recognize the delicacy thanks to its yellow color

Humans win macaque 

Suddenly chimpanzees noticed human faces softly as their species friends faces. The phenomenon is hardly explained by the mere fact that the experimental animals have had a lot to do with their grooms. Japanese macaque faces they separated weakly even though this monkey species lives in an adjacent cage. Chimpanzees react to macaque faces even faster than the human babyfaces.
Whether it's a human or a companion, chimpanzees could see the face more directly from the front than from the side. This suggests that eye contact is one factor that raises faces of chimpanzees to awareness. Similarities have been found in humans.

Art and us (assignment 13)

Humankind has created art because most people have an appreciation for art. They  enjoy observing it or creating it, they may even support it financially or by volunteering. Art  is integral in our culture because it provides us with a deeper understanding of emotions, self-awareness, and more.  The function of the image is to align our spiritual nature with the world in which we live. It is not necessary that the image be realistic or abstract, its function is to remind the viewer of his or her spiritual nature.  Art is important for many people and might have a big impact on their lives and a rt does  not  have to have a purpose  but it  does  not exist in order to teach, to urge a moral point, to entertain, to distract, to amuse, to serve beauty, to support a revolution, to disgust, to challenge, to stimulate or to cheer; it exists chiefly for its own sake. People do create works for art because s ome  of the main reasons for ...

Powerful photographs (assignment 9)

Kuva
This picture was taken in 1970 after Brazil won England 0-1 in FIFA World Cup group stage match which was host in Mexico. Pele and England's captain Bobby Moore trade jerseys after the match as a sign of mutual respect a World Cup that has been marred by racism. Both their emotions look happy even though Bobby Moore lost the match but Pele came to comfort him and exchange jerseys. Seems like they have little chat going on which is respect between opponent players. The cameraman took this picture at the right time and angle because they are both facing and talking to each other at that time. Landscape in this picture is on the pitch they played the match on. Like you see in the background there are other cameramen taking pictures of other people and players of the match after the match. Light in this picture is pretty good considering this was taken in 1970 because then there were not really high quality and high-resolution cameras. Seems like it was during a sunny day and the ...
