The Great Apes are named for having larger bodies and brains than other primates. Like Lesser Apes, the Great Apes are active during the day. There are four types of Great Apes – the orang-utans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans. In this class, your learners will study a range of topics related to the Great Apes, including: - Biodiversity; - Communication; - Conservation; - Evolution; - Intelligence; - Genetics; - History; - Future; - Our relationship with them as humans from our origins to today. No prior knowledge is required for this class.

I am also a homeschool father of multiple children. We have always homeschooled and participated in distance education. We came to Outschool in 2018 as learners, and now I am excited to also teach on this platform. I understand the needs of parents of learners here as I am one myself. Further, I am a native English speaker.
