    Ep 11: All about Rise of the Planet of the Apes!

    Ep 11: All about Rise of the Planet of the Apes!

    *WARNING*: SPOILERS If you haven't yet watched the decade old movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes, be forewarned, we talk about it all!
    We're doing double duty this week with this episode functioning both as a breakdown/analysis of the movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes as well as Katie's final project for her Biological Anthropology in Pop-Culture class! With that being said, we're linking some specific studies that she references below. Listen to two Bay-Area natives complain that they would've known about that ape sanctuary in San Bruno or proudly exclaim "That's my airport" at the sight of SFO. Oh, and I guess we'll touch on the topic of speech in apes and dash the dreams of some olympic-hopeful discus throwing primates. All this and more on this episode of You Otter Know! PS we misspeak a couple times but here’s an easy break down: primates is the term that encompasses all apes, monkeys, lemurs, everyone. Monkeys and apes are further splits on the tree. Below is a link to understanding this breakdown better!
