课程名称：黑猩猩行为与保护 课程概述：黑猩猩是我们最亲近的生物亲属之一，然而直到1960年简·古道尔在坦桑尼亚贡贝开展开创性研究之前，人们对黑猩猩在野外的行为几乎一无所知。该研究至今仍在继续，关注简·古道尔首次接触到的黑猩猩家庭。课程由三位与贡贝黑猩猩生活和工作多年的讲师主持，您将了解古道尔早期发现如何改变了我们对人类独特性的看法。通过完成课程，您将更深刻地认识到黑猩猩与人类在智力、工具使用、狩猎、个性和社会关系方面的深刻相似性以及一些关键差异。您还将学习黑猩猩如何与环境互动以及它们的行为如何受到生态因素的影响，同时了解它们面临的严重保护挑战。最后，您将利用新知识构建有效的论据以保护黑猩猩。本课程对所有希望了解这些迷人且复杂的生物的学习者开放，具备高中生物学知识将会有所帮助，但不是必需条件。请注意，课程内容将涵盖黑猩猩生活的各个方面，包括性和攻击行为的科学讨论。 课程大纲： 1. **简介**：欢迎加入我们的黑猩猩学习之旅！我们期待分享我们在黑猩猩研究中获得的知识。请观看我们的欢迎视频以开始。 2. **早期岁月**：学习简·古道尔在贡贝开展研究的冒险和风险，认识研究黑猩猩的重要性及其研究问题，了解采集数据的技术，以及黑猩猩在非洲的分布和社区结构。 3. **早期生活与母婴关系**：理解黑猩猩和人类在出生和母性方面的相似与差异，列举与解释黑猩猩幼崽的发展里程碑，分类幼崽游戏的类型，并认识游戏对黑猩猩发展的重要性。 4. **森林中的生存**：创建黑猩猩日常生活的框架，识别重要食物来源，关联饮食变化与行为变化，推测黑猩猩成功觅食和狩猎所需的认知能力。 5. **社会生活与关系**：识别黑猩猩之间和群体内的竞争与友好行为，欣赏优势等级的重要性并了解其形成，评估紧密社会纽带的价值，识别雄性和雌性的交配策略及其冲突。 6. **保护黑猩猩**：识别和描述威胁黑猩猩种群的因素，评估圈养黑猩猩在保护中的作用，提出反对使用黑猩猩作为娱乐的有效论点，评估教育和人类健康在保护成果中的重要性，并受到激励为黑猩猩保护做出贡献。 本课程旨在提升学习者对黑猩猩生活的全面理解，并激发保护这些有趣生物的热情与行动。
Name:Introduction
Description:Welcome! We are glad you chose to join us to learn more about chimpanzees. We are looking forward to sharing what we've learned while we have studied chimpanzees. Please watch our welcome video to get started.
Name:The Early Days
Description:For this week, learners will experience the adventure and risks that Jane Goodall undertook in launching her research at Gombe. Learners will be able to recognize why it's important to study chimpanzees and the kinds of research questions we can ask by studying them. Learners will be able to identify different techniques used to collect the different kinds of data necessary to answer the research questions. Additionally, learners will be able to identify the range of chimpanzee populations across Africa and the structure of chimpanzee communities.
Name:Early Life and Mother-Infant Bonds
Description:In this week, learners will understand key similarities and differences in birth and motherhood in chimpanzees and humans and will be able to list and explain major development milestones in infant and juvenile chimpanzees. Additionally, learners will be able to classify types of infant play and recognize the value of play for chimpanzee development.
Name:Making a Living in the Forest
Description:Upon completion of this week's materials, learners will be able to create a framework to outline a typical day in the life of a chimpanzee. This includes being able to identify important food sources for chimpanzees and being able to relate differences in diet to changes in behavior. Learners will also be able to hypothesize about the cognitive skills required for chimpanzees to forage and hunt successfully.
Name:Social Lives and Relationships
Description:In this week, learners will be able to identify the types of competitive and friendly behavior that chimpanzees demonstrate between and within groups. They will appreciate the importance of dominance hierarchies and how these are determined and be able to evaluate the importance of close social bonds for chimpanzees. Learners will also be able to identify both male and female mating strategies, including female sexual swellings and when they occur. Additionally, by the end of this week learners will be able to explain why there can be conflict between males and females over mating and why inbreeding is worse for females than males.
Name:Protecting Chimpanzees
Description:In this week, learners will be able to identify and describe threats to chimpanzee populations and evaluate the role that captive chimpanzees play in chimpanzee conservation. Learners should also be able to make an effective argument against the use of chimpanzees in entertainment in terms of effects on conservation efforts and attitude, as well as assess the importance of education and human wellness in conservation outcomes. Lastly, learners should be inspired to contribute to the goal of chimpanzee conservation through actions and outreach.
Chimpanzees are one of our closest living relatives, yet almost nothing was known about their behavior in the wild until Jane Goodall started her groundbreaking study of the chimpanzees of Gombe, Tanzania in 1960. This study continues today, following the same chimpanzee families that Jane Goodall first encountered over 55 years ago. Guided by three course instructors who have lived and worked with the Gombe chimpanzees, you will learn how Goodall’s early discoveries changed our view of human uniqueness. By completing the course, you will gain a new appreciation of the deep similarities between chimpanzees and humans in intelligence, tool use, hunting, personality and social relationships, as well as some key differences. You will learn how chimpanzees interact with their environment and how their behavior is influenced by ecology, as well as the severe conservation challenges they face today. And you will employ your new knowledge of chimpanzees to construct a persuasive argument for their protection. This course is open to everyone interested in learning more about these fascinating and complex beings. Knowledge of high-school level biology is beneficial but not required. Please keep in mind, however, that the content of this course will cover all aspects of chimpanzee life, including scientific discussion of sexual and aggressive behaviors.
