1. Pressures on early hominins to adapt to meat-eating • Emergence of early hominins from wetland forests to bipedal open grassland inhabitants led to food sources not previously available, namely the availability of large grazing animals. (Mann, 2007) • A higher quality diet shortened the duration of suckling and lactation during early hominin development, allowing an increase in reproduction rates and a decrease in the time needed between births. (Psouni, Janke & Garwicz, 2012) 2. Anatomical…

proteins in diets to help people lose weight. However, a good understanding of the role proteins play in maintaining a healthy body and also the impact they have on weight loss will help in properly evaluating the arguments from both sides. Proteins, a large number of organic compounds, are made up of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. They play very important roles in the cellular maintenance, growth, and functioning of the human body. Apart from the muscles, skin, hair, and connective tissues…

gallstones are small enough to pass without complications but larger stones create blockages and problems. When a stone is large enough it can become lodged in the opening of the gallbladder and causes painful contractions of smooth muscle. A more serious problem arises when a gallstone lodges itself in the common bile duct, thus causing bile to become incapable of reaching the intestines that then interferes with nutritional digestion and absorption. 4…

The feeding pattern of Canis Lupus is indicative of its predatory nature. Canis Lupus is typically a carnivore and when feeding on a large mammal, Canis Lupus will consume the heart, liver and intestines followed by the flesh, bones and the hide (Mech and Boitani 2003). When in North America Canis Lupus’ primary prey consists of white-tailed deer, moose, musk-ox, caribou, bighorn sheep, elk and bison (Bibikov 1982, Mech and Boitani 2003, Mech and Merric1998, Sullivan 1978). When its primary…

Bacteria! They're everywhere, and they are usually harmful. But did you know that some bacteria are actually good for you?.. Good bacteria, called Probiotics, are friendly to the human body, and actually are very important to have inside of us. While many of us have heard of probiotics some people are still unsure or even confused as to exactly what they are and what they do. I have been asked number of times to provide some clarity on this subject. The following is a Q & A of the most common…

‘There are over 600 known neurological disorders and conditions that affect the human nervous system and for many of them, treatment options are extremely limited” (Langtree). Many children that go to school have a hard time with other individuals and bullying. Children who do not interact with other children who have diseases or disorders tend to make fun of the children who have disorders or diseases by pointing out the differences. These disorders can not be helped and are brought on from…

to a family of squirrels. They often brawl by the riverside, but since I cannot tell any of them apart, I cannot often make bets on the outcome. The one time I tried I may have lost, but I am unsure. Perhaps all the woodland creatures owe me some large sum of money, and they have been spending years gathering the quantity by accumulating fallen pennies and lost paper dollars. I find myself sitting on this perpendicular log, my feet clinging to the top film of the stream’s water. Looking down…

Limbs and girdles are rings of bones that attach each limb pair to the axial, or central, part of the skeleton. The hands are attached at the wrist joints and the feet are attached at the ankle joints. The hand contains 27 bones divided into carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The foot contains 26 bones divided into tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges. Who knew a hand and a foot individually have so many bones? Unlike scaffolding, which is the regrowth of bones, bones change all the time. They…
