This is a very nice website dedicated to informing a general audience about the "Tree Of Life".
Category - Evolution and Child Development
Examines human development through evolutionary biology, covering auditory and vision optimization, reflex integration, and movement mechanics. It explores the transition from primal to conscious movement, integrating insights from biology, anthropology, and physiology to understand human capabilities and evolution.
When our automatic reflexes are working well, we rarely even notice. These extremely fast reactions happen much quicker than would be possible if we had to think through the best option for that circumstance, making reflexes incredibly useful...
BackgroundMoving around has always been at the top of every evolutionary “got to have” checklist. From Jellyfish to fish of all stripes, to land animals to us, improvements in locomotion confer a survival advantage. It is...
Our lymph system is a circulatory system not unlike our vascular system with one major difference, it doesn’t have a pump(heart). Lymph is also a return-only network, the vascular equivalent of veins, and uses our arteries to bring lymph...
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.
Development during our first weeks, months, and years relies heavily on our reflexes. Reflexes are congenital behavioral patterns that enable us to understand stimuli and respond appropriately. An example is a stimulus on the cheek that will...
The configuration of our brains was established in an environment that had very little rhythmic activity, especially above several cycles per second. It is very unusual for a natural system to cycle more quickly than this. Therefore our brains...
If you have ever watched a horse or other animal give birth, it can be surprising how graceful and quick birth can be when compared with our experience coming into the world. The difficulty we experience is a result of the size of our skull...
Chronically painful muscles often have some form of emotional conflict as part of the root cause. Our bodies often will on one hand want to express an emotion or feeling, and on the other hand, quickly jump in and inhibit that impulse. The...
