Topic: The evolution of prímate locomotion and body configuration
Discuss the changes that occurred in locomotion and body configuration (length of arms relative to legs and torso) through primate evolution. Include hand proportions, tail lengths and type, body size and hair density in your discussion. Elaborate on the evolutionary modifications and some of the theories which have been proposed for these changes.

Structure of term paper:
10 pages long, works cited a separate page. Please number pages beginning with page 1 with last name (MLA format)

A. Introduction and thesis statement: creatively employ the material in your category into your introduction. Next, pick a thesis statement. The thesis is what you are going to argue. For example : you could argue that primates developed improved vision due to natural selection pressures and an arboreal past if your topic was on the evolution of primate olfaction and vision. (This paper Is on LOCOMOTION)

B. The body of the paper: the body should be a representation of your data. You will be discussing your subject objectively through the grades of primate evolution while pointing out the modifications which occurred through time. The grades of primate evolution are as follows: Grade I-The Lemuroids; Grade II- The Tarsiers, Grade III- The monkeys , and Grade IV- The Apes and Man. You should plan on devoting approximately 1 to 2 pages of discussion to each of the grades in primate evolution. Make sure you carry you carry your discussion through to man.
With each grade, begin by describing some general background and introductory information on that category of primate. Next, devote the remaining discussion of each grade to Locomotion. Remember to avoid plagiarism and to document where you obtained your data by using paraphrasing (MLA) through your paper.
After you have discussed the changes that have occurred through the grades of primate evolution, include a paragraph toward the end of the body of your paper with your subjective perspective (personal opinion) on the subject material. This discussion should also include a critique of the literature and zoo trip. (You can be creative here as if you went to the zoo too inbox for more information) comment on the information you could or could not find. How did you feel about the zoo trip? We’re you able to better visualize the primates you learned about?

C. Conclusion: your conclusion should relate back to your thesis statement. Work the thesis into your conclusion stated differently. Also make a final statement, e.g. in this paper I have proven conclusively, or was not able to demonstrate conclusively that my thesis was correct.

D. Works Cited Page:
The works cited page should be on a separate page. Entries should be single spaced with double spacing between them. Entries should be listed last name first, first name lady in alphabetical order. If you are using a citation from a web site and no authors name is given, simply list by title. Atleast 5 professional sources to be listed and utilized beyond the textbook. Please use only professional sources for this project. Wikipedia, readers digest and religious publications are unacceptable for this assignment! One of the single best sources to use for this project is:
