Major Trends in Hominin Evolution are diet‚ cultural evolution‚ encephalization‚ language and speech Diet; In addition to forcing changes in locomotion that led to walking upright‚ the increasingly dry climate of east Africa over the last six million years forced changes in the diet of early hominins from the soft fruits of

Based off the information given in table 1 a number of trends in characteristics can be identified from the Papio anubis to the Homo neanderthalensis. There is a significant trend towards a taller 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

The question being asked is whether or not there is an age where children become susceptible to sociocultural stereotypes. The background research looked at literature that discusses the process of social identification and acquisition of stereotypes. It suggests potential stages at which self-relevant stereotypes might affect children.

Summary of Prevail and Transcend Scenario In chapter six of Radical Evolution‚ author Joel Garreau shows through various interviews and examples that even though technology may be rising on an exponentially increasing Curve‚ humans may still be able to change the effects of technological advance in unpredictable ways. Deemed the Prevail scenario‚ it is also characterized by humans slowing down once-viewed inevitable change viewed as negative and speeding up positive change. Another great theme

Biology: Research Task and Oral PresentationResearch Task:1.Describe some mechanisms found in Australian fauna to ensure:•Fertilisation•Survival of the embryo and of the young after birthFertilisation is the fusion of haploid sex cells in the action of sexual reproduction. It is often a difficult process as:• careful timing is required: both female and male gametes need to be produced and released at the same time• arrangements need to be made to bring the gametes together• A watery medium is always

Evolution is change over a long period of time. An organism’s characteristics change over time due to its DNA. The DNA determines how an organism looks. The process of evolution is over millions of years. Scientists use fossils‚ embryology‚ comparative anatomy‚ and the biochemistry to get data fro the organisms of their evolutionary histories. For this purpose for doing this lab is to related organisms’ skull evolved or change over time. Fossils are past living remain organism that left behind and
