Transitions of Reptiles to Mammals A long long time ago‚ in a galaxy not too far away‚ was a little blue planet called Earth‚ and on this world not a single mammal lived. However a lot of time has past since then and we now have lots of furry creatures that are collectively called mammals. How did they get their? Where did they come from? These are the kinds of questions that led me to my subject of choice. I will endeavor to provide examples‚ using specific transitional fossils‚ to show that

“On land‚ tropical forests underwent reduction or‚ more commonly‚ broke up into mosaics where patches of forest were interspersed with savanna or other types of open country. With the breaking up of forests‚ our early ancestors found themselves spending more and more time on the ground and had to adapt to this new open environment.” There are many different theories trying to explain why and how our ancestors came to be bipeds. This quote is stating the theory that our ancestors faced many obvious

sapiens). Current understanding of human origins is obtained largely from the findings of paleontology‚ anthropology‚ and genetics. Of all primates‚ humans share particularly close affinity to other members of a group known as hominoids‚ or apes. Humans and their immediate ancestors‚ known as hominids‚ are notable among hominoids for their bipedal locomotion (Using two legs for walking)‚ slow rate of maturation‚ large brain size‚ and‚ at least among the more recent hominids‚ the development of

Emotion is one of the most controversial topics in psychology‚ a source of intense discussion and disagreement from the earliest philosophers and other thinkers to the present day. Most psychologists can probably agree on a description of emotion or what phenomena to include in a discussion of emotion. The list of these parts of emotion is

characteristics associated with cell structure and movement of these one-celled organisms. We found that Protists exhibit certain characteristics that allow them to be categorized into different groups‚ mainly determined by their locomotion patterns. Despite differences in locomotion and the varying plant-like and animal-like organelles‚ all protists share key characteristics and functions that allow them to feed‚ grow‚ and reproduce--processes essential for survival and common to complex organisms.

Currently‚ three kinds of primates reside at Manila Zoo‚ namely‚ Philippine monkey‚ Celebes black ape‚ and Japanese red-faced macaque (J. Pedron‚ personal communication‚ March 16‚ 2016). On the other hand‚ Ark Avilon Zoo houses two kinds of primates: Orangutan and Java gibbon (N. Rafael‚ personal communication‚ March 19‚ 2016). According to Pedron‚ the zoo obtained the primates through donation and trade. Most of the Philippine monkeys found in Manila Zoo were given by the owners who obtained the
