    TA: Colin Hoag The study of the origin of humans and the journey of our evolution is a diverse and dynamic field that can be approached in many ways.

    studies. These studies serve the purpose of defining and tracing human nature through evolution and present times. Evolutionary studies address the description of human descent from primates. These studies seek to outline the sequence of changes and mechanisms of action that make up the evolution of humans from primates. The general theory of evolution is used to reconstruct history with facts and evidence from fossils and other remains. Endocrinology is the study of how hormones affect human anatomy

    and more vertical posture; this is supported by information gathered on locomotion. Starting from the monkey Papio anubis on the far left of the table‚ it’s movement is quadruped as it moves on all four limbs. Moving right of the table a transition from quadrupedal to bipedal becomes noticeable as the Pan troglodyte becomes capable of walking on its leg to the human who fully depends on its legs for movement.

    Slow Loris Introduction Slow lorises are a group of five species of strepsirrhine primates‚ which make up the genus Nycticebus.

    Types of aerial locomotion Animal aerial locomotion can be divided into two categories - powered and unpowered. In unpowered modes of locomotion‚ the animal uses on aerodynamics forces exerted on the body due to wind or falling through the air. In powered flight‚ the animal uses muscular power to generate aerodynamic forces. Animals using unpowered aerial locomotion cannot maintain altitude and speed due to unopposed drag‚ while animals using powered flight can maintain steady‚ level flight as

    size‚ the case of reduced body size in the New World primates is quite unusual. To explain the phenomenon‚ the dwarfing hypothesis has been proposed (Martin‚ 1992). The dwarfing hypothesis implies that there must have been selective pressure that favored a reduction in body size. Phyletic dwarfing is then presumed to be fundamental to the further development of the species ’ characters (Martin‚ 1992). Callitrichids are not the only primates that are thought to have undergone phyletic dwarfing
