relationship between body proportions and cold -focuses on the appendages of the body. -in warner climates, limbs would be longer relative to body bc it can dissipate heat -shorter limbs in cold climates bc conserves body heat. mammals living in the cold have shorter faces and limbs than mammals living in warmer areas

Features of Bipeds (4)

Cranial- foramen magnum Postcranial- part/whole skelton not including skull Facultative- animals that are able to walk on 2 legs but does not all the time(ex chimps: there knee and feet are different that humans.) Habitual- bipedalism is the primary locomotion example humans. Quadrupedal walking (using all 4 limbs) is too engerically tiring.

Changes through time derived Early hominins and australopiths Ask yourself: * How have faces changed *Shape of throax * food adpatations *small or big CP3 complex

Faces are flatter → called proganism when it sticks out Barrel shaped thorax instead of triangular/ funnel Changed to adapt to more nutrient rich foods- smaller hind guts. Smaller CP3 complex- canine and dentition Mandible shape- Less parallel, more parabolic/U shape teeth generally decrease in size, some became larger (ROBUST) 2 apparatus' → chewing apparatus for hard chewing adaptations

ROBUST OR GRACILE -Shallow, U-shaped palate with reduced canines • Small cranial capacity and, when present, cranial crests is small and posteriorly located • Rounded cranial vault • Somewhat megadont ( smaller) • Relatively prognathic • smaller Sagittal crest • Temporo-nuchal crest • Cp3 complex • Bicuspid premolar • Slightly smaller cranial capacity • Small anterior teeth, small canines
