Body Hair Human Evolution
1,701 wordsHuman Evolution: the water theory. Elaine Morgan The crucial question about human evolution is why humans differ so strikingly from the African apes despite their close genetic relationship. Most Darwinists would agree that such differences are usually attributable to differing environmental pressures; and hence that our ancestors at some stage probably occupied a significantly different habitat from the ancestor of the gorilla and the chimpanzee. For the last half-century it has been generally ...

Million Years Ago Long Period Of Time
1,219 wordsFrom Water to Land (Revision) Abstract: The early tetrapods were the first vertebrates to actually walk the solid earth. They began their conquest of land in the Paleozoic era around 360 million years ago. The question many paleontologists have been asking for a long period of time is whether the anatomy for locomotion on land was developed in water for swimming purposes, or if it was adapted after the creatures became terrestrial. Recent findings of fossils indicate that the transformations of ...

The Evolution Of Primate Locomotion
2,242 wordsThe evolution of primate locomotion There are many points of view connected to the appearance of men on this planet. However, the majority of scientists state that men have developed though the evolution of primate. According to John Stewarts work The evolution of primates, pp 16 - 24, primates possess well advanced five-fingered, the finiteness adapted to a climbing on branches in the trees. Full division of beam and elbow bones provides mobility and a variety of movements of forward finiteness...

Bipedal Locomotion Biped Ally Bipedalism
646 wordsBipedal Locomotion in Early Hominids Until recently, the oldest fossil species to provide evidence for bipedalism was Australopithecus afarensis, of which the best example of is the 3. 2 million year old skeleton called Lucy found in Hadar, Ethiopia. According to article 19: Sunset at the Savanna, in 1995 Make Leakey of the national Museums of Kenya and her colleagues made public the discovery of and older hominid species Australopithecus anamnesis (getting its name from the Turkana word for lak...

Lived Happily Genetic Variation
1,028 wordsLizards to Snakes Many millions of years the planet was dominated by lizards great and small. It was a place ruled by the laws of natural selection where the only way to survive was to be able to defend yourself with what you had. It was a constant struggle for food, shelter, and supremacy. It was about survival of the fittest, because only if you were best suited to your environment would you have a chance at living to reproduce. Sometimes adapting to ones environment could create a whole new s...

Miles Per Hour Steam Engine
671 wordsIn the beginning of transportation there were mainly horse and buggy, but then they developed a steam engine and they develop canals for steam boats. About five years later the people decided to start railroads because it was easier to lay and could be lain almost anywhere. So I will tell you about the steam engine, how it works, also about the steam locomotion, and I will present a model of an early British train. The old reciprocating steam locomotive is driven by a steam engine. Steam from th...
