There are lots of argues about human beings origin. Some people claim that human beings' origin comes from monkeys while some are claiming that this idea is unreasonable. But, although humans and chimpanzees do not seem very much alike at first glance, they share a number of remarkably similar characteristics, which may shed light on our evolutionary history.
First of all, the skeletons of humans and chimpanzees are quite similar; both speciesposses five fingerson each hand, including a movable thumb, which makes hand capable of grasping objects.
The next similarity is that female chimpanzees have fewer young than other mammals, and humans do, too. The young of the chimpanzee species, similar to human young, are born after a gestation period of about 9 months and then stay with their mothersfor several years.
The latest one is that both humans and chimpanzees communicate similarly. Although the sounds which are made by chimpanzees do not really resemble those made by humans, many experts believe that there is a real similarity in the way both species can use obstract symbols to communicate meanings.
In conclusion, there are lots of similarities between humans and chimps in terms of their skeletons, having fewer youngs, and communicating ways.

Smoking In Public Places
Recently, smoking in public places should be banned or not has became a debatable topic in many countries as well as Turkey. although there have been some regulations before, the new government has passed many other laws from the court. These laws do not include only public places but also private ones such as home. As a smoker, I totally disagree with the situation although they are right to some extent.
Everybody knows exactly that smoking kills. But, personally, as a smoker, I do not think that it is so harmful. Of course, it includes lots of harmful chemicals and they may be deathful. But, we absorb a lot of harmful chemicals other than smoking in our daily lives. So, banning smoking in public places is vain.
Also, there are a lot of ridiculous things that people respect and protect them. Smokers prefer smoking willingly, so everybody should respect them.
In conclusion, I'm in the opinion that smoking shouldn't be banned in public places.
