  Ape extinction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ape extinction, particularly great ape extinction, is one of the most widely held biodiversity concerns.
There are very few breeding populations of the great apes outside captivity, and all such populations are not only formally classified as endangered species, but in the direct path of human deforestation and development, especially in Indonesia and the Congo.
For many, the fate of apes differs in kind from that of other species: the extinction of man's nearest relatives would certainly lead to ignorance of human origins.

 Bushmeat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In the countries where the hunting occurs, orphaned apes (deemed too fragile to survive on their own, but also deemed too small to be worth shooting and cutting up, to the hunters) are raised and returned to the wild, as part of these efforts.
Apes are slow reproducers (about 1/4 the rate of most mammals) and very intelligent, requiring many years to train their young - so each loss is actually a catastrophic effect.
Apes also carry human diseases - ebola for instance is epidemic in chimps and gorillas, and spreads quite easily to those eating them.

Advocates of great ape personhood consider the four hominid apes, the bonobo, chimpanzee, gorilla, and orangutan to be "persons" as opposed to "animals".
The most famous such advocate is Jane Goodall, appointed a Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations to fight the bushmeat trade and end ape extinction, which personhood advocates refer to as "ape genocide".
Laboratory studies of ape language ability, caring for pets, etc. began to reveal other human traits, as did genetics, and eventually three of the great apes (all but the orangutan) were reclassified as being hominids.

Sexual intercourse plays a major role in Bonobo society, being used as a greeting, a means of conflict resolution and post-conflict reconciliation, and a favor traded by the females in exchange for food (see prostitution).
Bonobos are the only non-human apes to have been observed engaging in tongue kissing, face-to-face vaginal intercourse, oral sex, genital rubbing between females, and "penis-fencing" between males.
This is part of a more general trend of ape extinction, which some denounce, based on their hominid status, as ape genocide.

Sexual intercourse plays a major role in Bonobo society, being used as a greeting, a means of conflict resolution and, and as favors traded by the females in exchange for food (see prostitution).
Bonobos are the only non-human apes to have been observed engaging in all of the following sexual activities: tongue kissing, face-to-face vaginal intercourse, oral sex, genital rubbing between females, and "frottage" between males.
They are an endangered species, due to both habitat loss and hunting for "bushmeat", the latter activity having waxed dramatically during the current civil war due to the presence of heavily armed militias even in remote "protected" areas such as Salonga National Park.

 CONTEXT - This Week in Arts and Ideas from The Moscow Times
One of the aims of Peter Balakian's "The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America's Response" is to showcase another side to the story by describing the genocide as the first international human rights cause in the United States.
Given the highly emotive nature of the genocide for members of the Armenian diaspora (of which Balakian is a prominent member), it's not surprising that the narrative seems a bit less sure-footed and evenhanded when it comes to the Turkish side of the equation.
To Turkey, the event that Armenians call genocide was the unfortunate function of an environment of conflict in which Christians and Muslims alike died.

 Bushmeat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The most current reference to 'the bushmeat trade' refers to this hunting of primates, specifically of the great apes which has been labelled ape genocide by some activists.
About 1% of the bushmeat trade is in ape meat, however, their small numbers and the attractiveness of hunting them (a gorilla is a quite large animal, and good "payoff" for each cartridge) means the impact is considerable.
Apes reproduce relatively slowly (about 1/4 the rate of most mammals) and are very intelligent, requiring many years to train their young, so each loss can have more adverse effects on a group than it might seem.

Consequently the US and UK governments working for the Black African Ape clans predominately are genociding all life forms on Earth not related to fl apes, to control Earth and to prevent the other life forms and cultures such as Aryans from relocating to Mars.

The Hominids (Hominidae) are a biological family which includes humans, extinct species of humanlike creatures and now often the great apes: chimpanzees and bonobos (genus Pan), gorillas, and orangutans (genus Pongo)).
Originally the group was restricted to humans and their extinct relatives, with great apes being placed in a separate family, the Pongidae.
While some scientists claim that it is merely the skull of a female gorilla, others have called it the most important hominid fossil since Australopithecus.
