[49] [50] Scientists realized over 30 years ago the ocean was a key fingerprint of human impact on climate change and "the best opportunity for major improvement in our understanding of climate sensitivity is probably monitoring of internal ocean temperature". [51] Marine organisms are moving to cooler parts of the ocean as global warming proceeds.
Humans often feed them, which may alter their movement and keep them close to the river on weekends where high human traffic is present. [15] The monkeys can become aggressive toward humans (largely due to human ignorance of macaque behavior), and also carry potentially fatal human diseases, including the herpes B virus .
The aquatic ape hypothesis (AAH), also referred to as aquatic ape theory (AAT) or the waterside hypothesis of human evolution, postulates that the ancestors of modern humans took a divergent evolutionary pathway from the other great apes by becoming adapted to a more aquatic habitat. [1]
The killer ape theory or killer ape hypothesis is the theory that war and interpersonal aggression was the driving force behind human evolution.It was originated by Raymond Dart in his 1953 article "The predatory transition from ape to man"; it was developed further in African Genesis by Robert Ardrey in 1961.

In 2021, a US-based private “monkey haters” online group, where members paid to have baby monkeys tortured and killed on camera in Indonesia was closed down, but other extreme videos have ...
Deadliest animals as of 2016 [1]. This is a list of the deadliest animals to humans worldwide, measured by the number of humans killed per year. Different lists have varying criteria and definitions, so lists from different sources disagree and can be contentious.
Scientists estimate that the ocean absorbs about 25% of all human-caused CO 2 emissions. [4] The various layers of the oceans have different temperatures. For example, the water is colder towards the bottom of the ocean. This temperature stratification will increase as the ocean surface warms due to rising air temperatures.
Sussman and Tattersall mention that the Dutch abandoned the island in 1710–12 due to monkeys and rats destroying plantations, they point out that the human population was low at this time and the crab-eating macaques would have had plenty of primary forest to exploit, yet they chose to brave the dangers of raiding plantations.
