Study questions be sure to check blackboard for relevant ppt presentations. What is this morphology an adaptation too? (hint: it isn"t terrestrial). Foramen magnum - big hole in skull where spinal cord connects. Monkey vs dog - shows primates are vertical. Collar bone - strut keeps arms lateral (primate) - dogs don"t have collarbone. Nails instead of claws - more nerve endings, tactile sensitivity. Tactile pads - investigating environment with fingers. Generalized dental pattern - tear, chew, slice, grind, etc. omnivores = bunodant. Eyes rotated forward - allows us to judge distance very well - overlapping vision.
