Your assignment is to view the video and discuss any aspects of chimpanzee life that are relevant to the evolution of human mental abilities, communication, and especially language.
Rubric: In order to write a good paper, everything you write has to be directly relevant to what the study of chimpanzee life can teach us about the evolution of human communication. You should cover all or almost all of the issues listed below. Use specific events in the video to support your points. Develop each example so that it supports your point well. Organize the issues so that you discuss each issue thoroughly before you move on to the next. Have a logical progression from issue to issue, leading to some kind of conclusion about chimpanzee and human communication.

Here are the issues to focus on:
• Chimpanzee social relations (“Social relations” means relations that chimpanzees have with other chimpanzees. This includes group membership). Describe the ways chimpanzees interact with each other. Include family and dominance relations, and social hierarchy. Don’t forget about grooming.
• What are the functions of grooming? What are the chimpanzees’ attitudes towards grooming?
• Describe communication and interaction between mother and child.
• What vocalizations are in the video? (“Vocalization” means making noise with the voice.) What is the function of the vocalizations? Do the vocalizations refer to anything? What kind of behavior or activity goes with the vocalizations? Look for different activities that go with different vocalizations. What do the chimps look at when they vocalize? Which vocalizations are directed at a specific individual Chimpanzee?

Question I – At the end of a long day, Sabrina, a cashier for a supermarket is counting the paper money. One of the bills falls from the cash register into the bottom of Sabrina’s purse. What elements of embezzlement are present in this situation? Should Sabrina be convicted of embezzlement? Why or why not?

Question II – Bobby Bigmouth is sued for slander by his boss. Bobby argues that he cannot be sued for slander because he did not publish any statement. He argues that his alleged slanderous comment was not published because he just made the comment to a co-worker about his boss rather than making that statement to a reporter to be published. Is Bobby’s argument correct?

Question III – During an episode of Sports Center, one of the anchors misread the teleprompter and said LeBron James was closing his school for at risk youth. In reality, LeBron James was expanding his school. This statement by the anchor was a slip of the tongue and corrected in the next episode. Would LeBron’s defamation suit against Sports Center and the anchor be successful? Why or why not?

Dr. Raymond Hill, Director of Surgery, for Forest Medical Center in Lake Park, Illinois, received some recent statistics concerning data on the surgeries performed in his center during 2019. He was somewhat surprised to see the high number of what is classified as “late surgeries.” He has asked you, a quality analyst, to examine this data.
He requests the following items from you:
Create a scatter plot in Excel of the number of late surgeries versus the overall number of surgeries.
Create a run chart in Excel for the number of late surgeries and a run chart for the overall number of surgeries for 2019.
Create separate control charts in Excel for the number of late surgeries and the overall number of surgeries with a 95% confidence level. Show all calculations that you use to arrive at these control charts.
In a Word document, draw two conclusions regarding these three analyses regarding the late surgeries at Forest Medical Center.
