Description
The only instructions for the 2 papers is for them to be single spaced and to fill one page at a 12 pt font. No sources need to be included or cited in the papers, all I need is the ideas and facts you learn by researching and answering the prompt.
The first prompt is to answer this:
- explain your view on speciation for example Do you think Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals represent two different speciesor just different subspecies?
- - Why is it such a complicated process to make species/taxonomic distinctions within the hominin lineage given the types of evidence we have? What are the stakes of making these kinds of distinctions?
The other prompt is to answer this:
- How have you experienced the cost and benefits of bipedality in your own life? (Or seen with others around you?)
- How have the costs and benefits of bipedality changed with present day humans? You may think specifically about modern medicine, sports, advances in technology, etc...
Answer both prompts separately on two separate pages of work. Single spaced and only one page is needed.
If you have other questions let me know I will answer.

Cost and Benefits of Bipedality
Bipedality is the mode of terrestrial movement in which an organism moves using its
two hind limbs or legs. Some of the common bipedal movements include jumping, running,
jogging, and hopping. A few current animals are habitual bipeds, with two-legged locomotion
as their primary mode of mobility. The most known bipedal animals are humans, even though
other creatures use bipedal mobility. Bipedalism is believed to have started from the hominid
species, which assisted them in raising their head, enabling humans to view and identify
objects from far and in a grassland environment, avoiding dangers, and freed the hands for
them to use to carry tools and hunt the animals. From experience, bipedalism has assisted
humans in freeing the hand to carry some items and perform essential economic activities.
The advantage of bipedalism is that it frees the forearms, which humans can use in carrying
daily activities such as gathering food and even establishing settlements. In modern times,
humans use their hands to carry some activities while walking, such as operating some
technological gadgets. Like our hominin predecessors who utilized their free hands to hold
tools and even infants as they couldn’t work, we can do the same and advance their economic
and commercial activities. Bipedalism has given us the ability to travel long distances and
even use bipedality to earn a living. We can indulge in economic acti...
