Edrea Danielle Roma MWF(1:30-2:30)

For me pakikisama is the way a person should do so that the person can be accepted in the society he/she entered. a very good example is a kind of a group of girls(kikay group) you wish to be one of them...so for you to be like them you need to follow the way they are doing.like putting make-ups,wearing fiitting clothes and thingd that could turn other peoples head..if you want to join in their group you need to be like them and be recognized.. this is in page 32 sir

this is in page 29 sir

Defend your position! Good for 30 points!

No, man did not descend from apes, at least not the modern apes that we know. However, there is overwhelming evidence, both from the fossil record and from DNA, that man is descended from the same common ancestor as the apes. Our ancestors diverged from the ancestors of chimpanzees around seven million years ago.


The famous sequence that shows the evolution of man from knuckle-dragging ape to an upright human may be flawed, a new study has revealed.

Researchers who examined the wrist bones of several primate species believe our early human ancestors never used their knuckles to walk like gorillas.

Instead they evolved from other apes who spent most of their time in trees and descended to the ground upright. We have the most robust data I've ever seen on this topic,' said study co-author Daniel Schmitt, from Duke University.
'This model should cause everyone to re-evaluate what they've said before.'
The debate over the origins of human bipedalism has been argued since Charles Darwin's day, dividing into two competing models.

One model 'envisions the pre-human ancestor as a terrestrial knuckle-walker, a behavior frequently used by our closest living relatives, the African apes,' the report said.

The other model traces our two-legged walking to earlier tree-climbing, a mode of locomotion that is used by all living apes.
Supporters of the knuckle-walking origin think we and African apes evolved from a common knuckle walking ancestor. That connection, they contend, is still evident in wrist and hand bone features shared by African apes and by fossil and living humans.
But the new study's lead author, Tracy Kivell from the Max Planck Institute in Germany, contends this theory.

Ms Kivell compared juvenile and adult wrist bones of more than 100 chimps and bonobos, our closest living primate kin, with those of gorillas.
She found the majority of adult chimpanzees and bonobos had special wrist features that most gorillas lacked.
Gorillas wrists 'locked down'

Kivell and Schmitt suggested these features may be absent in gorillas as they knuckle-walk in a fundamentally different way from chimps and bonobos.
Gorillas stride with their arms and wrists extended straight down and locked in what Kivell called 'columnar' stances that resemble how elephants walk.
By contrast, chimps and bonobos walk more flexibly, 'with their wrists in a bent position as opposed to being stacked-up,' she said.

'And with their wrists in bent positions there will be more stresses at those joints.'

As a result, chimp and bonobo wrists have special features that gorillas lack - little ridges and concavities that serve as 'bony stops' to keep their wrists from over-bending.

The chimpanzees and bonobos have a more extended-wrist way of knuckle-walking which gives them added stability on branches, the researchers concluded.
In contrast, gorillas' 'columnar' style of knuckle-walking is consistent with ground transport.
'Chimps and bonobos spend a lot of time in the trees. And gorillas do not,' Schmitt said.
Kivell and Schmitt think this suggests independent evolution of knuckle-walking behavior in the two African ape lineages.
'Altogether, the evidence leans against the idea that our own bipedalism evolved from a knuckle-walking ancestor,' the pair wrote.
'Instead, our data support the opposite notion, that features of the hand and wrist found in the human fossil record that have traditionally been treated as indicators of knuckle-walking behavior in general are in fact evidence of arboreality.'
In other words, a long-ago ancestor species that spent its time in the trees moved to the ground and began walking upright.
There are no fossils from the time of this transition, which likely occurred about seven million years ago, Kivell and Schmitt said. But none of the later fossils considered to be on the direct human line were knuckle-walkers.
A report on the findings is online in the research journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
my opinon:
i also agree that we do not camo in apes because a long-ago ancestor species that spent its time in the trees moved to the ground and began walking upright.I think it is because some of them kept climbing the trees and others started to use 2 legs and stand straight there fore after doing that for a few years there semen would start to mature like that and there parents would have also made them procreate. They then probably stoped picking ticks off each other for food and started living like humans live today. that what i can say as for now sir..hehehe..

huhuu sir wala pa ko nimo tagai score...plzzz tan-awa kono sir

Post it back here nalang coz its too long for me to scroll now! Ive been evolved from this page already! hehehe
