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...

Scitable by nature education directs the website. This website covers the topic habitat loss, diseases, bushmeat hunting, climate change and future directions. What I like about the site is optimism, that although people endanger primates, the reducing human activities and increased human care such as disease prevention can avert more...

There is evidence that other species have adapted better to modern environments than humans. They colonize their new habitats and adapt to the changes in their environments than humans. In the modern age, people can eat processed foods because they are cheaper and accessible than healthier natural foods. Nutrition and...

The data is too small to precisely come up with a conclusion that can be applied across the entire population. However the data does supports the null hypothesis that there’s no significant difference the variables. We use the null hypothesis so that we can try to disapprove it in the...

For over 2000 years a single idea has changed both societal and scientific perception of the world and its inhabitants. Primarily evolution by natural selection is a concept developed by Charles Darwin to explain fundamental factors on populations existence. Darwin eluded that, all living species are descendants of ancestral...

Blue-eyed Black Lemur: A Fascinating and Endangered Species Blue-eyed black lemur (Eulemur macaco flavirons) also known as Sclater's lemur is a species of lemur found only in North West Madagascar's forest. Their favorite habitat is the tropical sub-humid forests and dry deciduous forests. They are medium-sized animals of the Lemuridae family....

The evolution of Hominins has been through a number of stages which are a major influence on skeletal changes. In all the stages, Hominin’s behavior was adapted to various modes of survival. Before the bipedal walking and the upright posture, the hominins practiced terrestrial quadrupedalism, Orangutan-like climbing, and suspension, monkey-like...

How human variation has influenced their adaptation to survive in the past and present world             Variability is inherent in all living species, and it is enhanced by environmental and biological procedures. It plays a significant role in certifying the strength of species as well as their capacity to acclimatize to...

I would like to point out that I enjoyed your post regarding Homo erectus, which was comprehensively covered. Although you correctly mentioned that there are few or no proof for various tools used for hunting and self-defence, there are a few archaeological pieces of evidence that suggest their existence. Homo...

The possibility to walk on two legs was the most popular trait in the hominid lineage. Bipedalism established the distinction between the first hominids and the other apes although big brains were previously thought to be the unique feature.             There are several factors which prompted humans to become bipeds based...

Platyrrhines and Their Habitat Platyrrhines primates also known as the new world monkeys inhabit the tropical forests of Southern Mexico and South America. The phrase platyrrhine emanate from a broad, flat outward nose feature of this category of primates. Platyrrhine primates are mostly arboreal and herbivorous. Scientists identify 16 distinct genera...

Evolution Evolution refers to the gradual process of heritable change within a given period among humans. During the evolutionary process, living organisms, cultures and languages respond to the changing circumstances, and they become more sophisticated and adaptable over time. As a theory, evolution is lauded as the best concept that explains...
