Locomotion

changing variations and influences throughout the decades especially the fifties and sixties.

2.) In consideration of the relationship between the Intermembral index and the habitual mode of locomotion for the six different primates, the collected data suggests that the lower the index is, the greater the chance for bipedalism as the “default,” or main movement. Versus a higher index which instead suggests the preferred ability of moving with the arms (e.g. swinging). Moreover, primates with an index closer to a total of 100 appear to assume quadrupedalism. This query can be seen when…

Since the 1859 publication of “On the Origin of Species” by Charles Darwin, the theory of evolution has ignited a tumultuous debate on the genesis of mankind, climaxing in intense confrontations between creationists and evolutionists. Creationists believe in the intelligent-design theory, that life did not arise by chance, but was created by some intelligent entity (God), referencing religious text as evidence. On the contrary, evolutionists believe in Darwinism, that through the process of…

childhood and later adolescence stages in life, but the identity aspects from those stages stem from an earlier age. The initial development of identity along with the importance of preoperational thinking, autonomy, language development, elaboration of locomotion, fantasy play, imitation, and self control is why toddlerhood is the most important psychosocial crisis stage.

After thirteen weeks of recording the pink-eyed Sprague Dawley rats walking across an elevated horizontal ladder, a circular ladder and a treadmill, I now spend most days carefully examining the videos to evaluate the quality of their walking ability. The video begins, as it always does, at an angle below the ladder. The rat appears in the frame, roaming around, to acclimatize with the environment and probably search for its missing cage mate. Rats are social animals and enjoy being in groups.…

ectothermic organisms, which means that Stentor body temperature is controlled by their environment (Hickman, Kats, Keen 2013). This lab examines how the movement of Stentor may be effected while placed in 5ºC and 20ºC water over a period of time. If locomotion in Stentor is to be delayed or sped-up then the temperature…

Life, until now is known to be found only on earth. Although, life has travelled to space but it cannot survive there without the necessary induced conditions. Only lichen and mosses have survived the vacuum of space and UV radiations yet. Imagine if you could survive the space without these conditions! Tardigrade (Water Bear), a water dwelling, 8 legged, segmented micro-animal has survived the space without any protection. They are prevalent in mosses and lichen and have a lifespan of a year.…
