Sometimes the similarities are conspicuous, as between crocodiles and alligators, but in other cases considerable study is needed for a full appreciation of relationships like in cats and humans. Many anatomy students will end dissecting a cat long before they go near a human cadaver, there are many reasons for this such as lack…

It allows flexion and extension movements and can only extend approximately 180 degrees. -Gliding joints (synovial joint) are usually a group of cube-shaped bones that can either move up and down, left and right, or diagonally.

masseter (Tuxen and Rostrup 1993). In fetal pigs, the gluteus medius is bigger than the gluteus maximus, which is the opposite for humans (Miller 1998). A similarity between humans and fetal pigs would be how the latissimus dorsi connects to the humerus and the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, and how they both function to flex the shoulder (Miller 1998). Another similarity would be how the gastrocnemius, in both the human and fetal pig, connects from the distal end of the femur to the Achilles…

The Ancient Inhabitants of Flores Island The recently discovered Homo floresiensis have been a puzzle for scientists. The skeletons are an odd mix of archaic and more modern traits. The problem of how these diminutive hominins arrived on the island of Flores is still a mystery. The dating shows H. floresiensis arrived over a million years ago by the tools they left behind. The hominins had a minimal cranial capacity, yet they were able to live and prosper until recent times. The Indonesian…

I am a forensic anthropologist whose name is Kareem. I have been working in this field for 24 years. My job is to use my knowledge of the human skeleton to decipher and demystify clues from the decedent’s bones in order to identify the deceased. Additionally, in Harvard I earned my professional degree which took me 10 years. I studied forensic anthropology because I have always wanted to be a forensic anthropologist since I was seven years old. I have identified forty nine decedent’s identity.…
