Document Summary
Descriptive: the researchers are going out into the field and describing variation that they witness. Sociobiological theory looks at the relationship between genetics and behavior. Socioecological theory looks at the relationship between the environment and behavior. Hands and feet primates typically have 5 digits on the end of each limb. One of the digits is opposable. of toes. They have enhanced sensory abilities on the ends of fingertips and on the ends. Flexible limb structure that enables primates to move around. Quadrupedalism using all 4 limbs in locomotion. Brachiation using upper limbs to move around. (arm swinging) Knuckle-walking supporting your weight on the knuckles of your fore limbs to walk. Slow climbing climbing slowly using all 4 limbs. Increased reliance on vision includes primarily color vision, depth perception (stereoscopic vision), and location of eyes reduced and the size of our snout. Decreased reliance on smell manifested in the olfactory structures in our brain are.
