Presentation Transcript

  1. Ms. Schroeder’s Animal Project HUMANS

  2. Group Characteristics • Generalists • Large • Extended post-natal developmental period • Largest and most complex nervous system • Limitations • not the fastest or strongest • limited sensory range - sight, taste, hearing • little regeneration of organs • health imperfections • age and die • not able to solve all problems

  3. Taxonomy: Homo Sapiens • Kingdom animalia • Phylum chordata • Class mammalia • Order primates • Family hominidae • Genus homo • Species Homo sapiens

  4. Habitat and Ecosystems • adequate and affordable shelter • safe and affordable drinking water • appropriate management systems for domestic and industrial waste

  5. Anatomy and Physiology 10 main systems: Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Circulatory Respiratory Digestive Excretory Nervous Reproductive Endocrine

  13. Reproductive

  14. Endocrine

  15. Life Cycle

  16. Mating season and rituals

  17. offspring numbers and care of offspring

  18. Stages of development

  19. Human Interaction

  20. Human impact on group • Human habitat degradation • Rapid urban population growth • Shortage of permanent houses and plots • Proliferation of squatter / unplanned settlements in urban areas • Lack of refuse collection and disposal services • Lack of affordable safe drinking water • Water pollution due to human waste • Water Pollution Due to Chemicals

  21. Research

  22. Interesting facts • Product of a long evolutionary history • changed in certain ways due to natural selection • share 98% of genes with chimps but chimps are less related to gorillas than to humans • a recent species from a long line of animals • still evolving • influencing our own evolution

  23. Bibliography • Hominid Species http://www.people.virginia.edu/~rjh9u/humtrait.html • Environment-Human Habitat http://www.sdnp.org.mw/enviro/soe_report/chapter_8.html
