Comparative Anatomy of the Axial Skeleton, Arm, and Hand

Use eSkeletons to compare the lumbar vertebrae of great apes and modern humans.

What differences do you see? In particular, pay attention to the last lumbar vertebra.

Which specimen displays a vertebral body that significantly shortens posteriorly? This anteroposterior “wedging” is a distinct feature of modern humans and helps maintain the lumbar lordosis. What behavior is the L5 “wedging” most-likely related to?

Compare the overall curvature of the modern human and great ape vertebral column. What differences do you see? If early hominins had an L5 similar to modern humans, what would you estimate the vertebral column to look like in these animals?

Compare the overall shape of the modern human and great ape rib cages. Which of these thoracic shapes is seen in early hominin specimens such as A. afarensis (“Lucy”)? Why, in part, does thoracic shape differ between great apes and modern humans?

Below is a reconstruction of the glenoid fossa in an early hominin (Australopithecus afarensis, “Lucy”). Compare the orientation of the glenoid fossa in a modern human, great ape, and early hominin. What differences do you see? Is the early hominin glenoid fossa more similar to modern humans or African apes?

Program Design and Implementation
1. The overarching goal of the program (the overall aim that you want to achieve via
your program),

2. Objectives (specific desired changes that will help to meet the overall goal). There
should be at least 3 objectives

3. Strategies (how you will go about achieving your aim and objectives; the activities
that will contribute to the achievement of the objectives);

4. Risks or Challenges (Identify any potential challenges to the program)

i. What may occur that can put the program at risk, what are the challenges, and how will you address them? (for example, people may not enrol?)

Political Power

Machiavelli wrote the Prince (published in 1532) to advise princes about how to get, keep, and use political power. The book is still regarded as one of the most influential books on politics, especially on issues relating to political power.

In light of our class readings on power, write a 2-4 page essay comparing the textbook definitions of power (see especially week 1) with the notions expressed/ implicit in the excerpts from Machiavelli. How can you relate these notions to prevailing norms in contemporary society and politics? Do you think that any of any of the advice offered by Machiavelli can apply to modern day politicians? Why and how? Can you provide some examples? Why not?  Be sure to cite the sources in the APA citation format as you make comparisons between the different definitions.
