Question 1 – What is your estimated stature? How well does this estimate compare to your actual estimate?
Stride length (in) x 2.6)/2 = Stature (in) ± 6
2.5 x 2.6/2=3.25 feet
Question 2 – What are your estimated hip heights? How well does the estimated hip height compare to your actual hip height? Is one side more accurate than the other?
Estimated Hip height is 2.8 feet and 3.0 feet ,they hip heights have a lose relation with a very small difference
Question 3 – Give your estimated stature and hip height, which one was closer? What do are some possible contributing factors that made one more accurate than the other?
Hip height-2.8 feet
Stature-3.5 feet
Faulty observations have made one more accurate than the other
Question 4 – What is your estimated weight? How well does this estimated weight reflect you actual weight? (You don’t have to report you actual weight) If there is a major difference what do you think is the cause of this difference?
Estimated weight is 60kgs while my actual weight is 65 kgs, the difference has been brought up by use of inappropriate equipment
Question 5 – What differences do you detect between the body proportions of your body and the body of Lucy?
The stature and hip heights of Lucy are bigger than mine
Question 6 – How do these differences in body proportions effect the walking of these two different species?
The hip height determines the length of stride which a person makes ,therefore the taller the hip height the longer the stride and this determines the walking pace of an animal
Question 7 – What are the differences between your foot and the Laetoli print? (Include your foot outline and your labeled Laetoli print).
The difference is the shape of both foot ,this is usually dependent on the genes of a individual
Question 8 – Based on your data above, (stature, hip width, hip height, Leg length), what do you think the differences between walking pattern of you and the Laetoli track maker?
Laetoli track maker has will be able to walk faster because of the favorable body proportions
Question 9 – How much did the time decrease from your walking pace to the final faster pace? It is suggested that the spacing of the two Laetoli tracks indicated that the smaller individual was moving about twice the speed as the larger one. Do your walking/jogging results support or refute this suggestion?
Walking time decreased consistedly as I covered more distance
My walking pattern supports the suggestion
