Body perception in chimpanzees: from the perspective of comparative cognitive science

我已经完成了所有的数据收集。我主要完成了眼球跟踪实验的数据采集，以考察黑猩猩对身体部位的认知。我对我所有的数据进行了数据分析，并撰写了我的博士论文。我通过了答辩，并获得了博士学位。我在今年发表了两篇论文。总而言之，我以比较的方式研究了黑猩猩的身体知觉，重点是它们对全身和身体部位的认知。通过与人类的比较，我发现黑猩猩在身体感知方面与人类有相似的特性，尽管在某些方面不如人类灵活。他们也知道身体部位的位置和外观，就像人类一样。结果表明，黑猩猩和人类的共同祖先在进化过程中可能已经有了相似的身体感知水平。总的来说，我已经达到了我的研究计划的目标，并获得了惊人的结果。我的研究为人类现存的近亲黑猩猩如何感知身体提供了重要信息，并为身体感知的进化路径提供了暗示。我希望我的研究能有助于我们理解人类的认知，并启发未来有趣的研究，以揭示我们对人类思维进化的理解。

I have finished all the data collection. I mainly completed the data collection of the eye tracking experiment to examine chimpanzees' cognition of body parts. I conducted data analyses of all my data and wrote my doctoral thesis. I have passed the defense and received my doctor's degree. I have 2 papers published in this year.In summary, I studied body perception in chimpanzees in a comparative manner, focusing on their cognition of whole bodies and body parts. By comparing with humans, I found that chimpanzees have similar properties in body perception with humans, albeit less flexible in certain aspects. They also have knowledge about locations and appearances of body parts, as humans do. The results indicates that the common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans may already have a similar level of body perception in the evolutionary path.In general, I have reached the goal of my research plan and got amazing results. My research provided important information of how humans’ closest living relatives, chimpanzees, perceive bodies, and provided implications of the evolutionary path of body perception. I hope my study could contribute to our understanding of human cognition and inspire interesting future research to shed light on our understanding of human mind evolution.
