My name is Josephine C. I'm creating a short post for practice for this summer course I signed up to take: Introduction to Physical Anthropology. The question I'm answering is:
If I were stranded on a deserted island, what two items would I take with me and why?
I believe I would have to go with two practical items. First a knife and a second a fishing net.  I think to survive these two items would serve best. A fishing net would help to fish and that would provide a good source of protein. And a knife would be a helpful tool to serve many purposes.  I feel an anxiety coming over me just thinking that I would have to survive outdoors, and hope I would never find myself stranded on a deserted island. However, when given a choice of two items I would hope to have these both.

Analogous and Homologous Traits

Image
The human arm and the wing of a bird have homologous traits.   They both share the same types of bones because they both have evolved from a common ancestor. Although they have the same types of bones they are used in different ways. From the outside they look very different. The human arm is covered in skin and the bird wing is covered in feathers. From the inside they have very similar bones. These bones include the humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.   Although these two species have the same types of bones, the human arm and the wing of a bird have been modified to conduct different functions.   Humans use their arms to reach and pick up objects. Birds have evolved into wings that help them to fly. It is believed that humans and birds evolved from a common ancestor. The common ancestor an ancient reptilian creature appeared to live 320 million years ago. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/25/.../scales-feathers-hair-common-ancestor.ht...
