Evolution and Movement (Part 1)
The interest in evolutionary study lies in noticing the connection between movement abilities at different stages of infant growth and the movement abilities of vertebrates in various evolutionary stages—without necessarily implying an exact correspondence between human developmental movements and evolutionary descent. (Simmons, 2015) Thanks to our evolution as a vertebrate species, we have developed multiple locomotion and survival tools, such as bipedal walking, running, twisting, jumping, fine motor skills, and speech.

Arms Like Wings
Structurally, arms share similarities with wings—minus the feathers. The range of movements our arms allow enables us to perform daily activities, engage in sports, and develop fine motor skills for tasks like knitting or watchmaking.
This class aimed to deepen our understanding of how the arms connect to the body, fostering integrated movement within a broader perspective of bodily function.
