SciCafe: Why Walk on Two Legs? The Pros and Cons of Bipedalism
April 1, 2015
scicafe_april14
Walking on two legs, or "bipedalism," is a key characteristic defining humans and our early ancestors. But what an odd way to walk and run! Join Museum Curator Brian Richmond and Jeremy DeSilva from Boston University in exploring the great advantages of walking on two legs, as well as the unfortunate consequences of evolving bipedalism from a body plan designed to walk on four, not two, legs.
Resources:
Although man stands on two legs, his skeleton was originally designed for four. Read an original paper from 1951 on the Scars of Human Evolution:
http://www.nature.com/scientificamerican/journal/v185/n6/pdf/scientificamerican1251-54.pdf
Read about the hypothesis that bipedalism reduced the energy cost of walking compared with our ape-like ancestors:

An analysis on throwing biomechanics and how changes in hominin anatomy affect throwing performance:

SECRET SCIENCE CLUB PRESENTS: “MICROSCOPIC CITY” WITH CHRISTOPHER MASON
TUE, MARCH 24, 2015
Doors: 7:30 pm / Show: 8:00 pm
The Bell House
Brooklyn, New York
Free
FREE
This event is 21 and over
Secret Science Club presents “Microscopic City” with Christopher Mason from the Physiology and Biophysics departments at Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Mason led a team that swabbed New York City's subway stations and trains to uncover the microbes among us. The subway samples (from turnstiles, poles, seats, ticket machines, and more) were sequenced for DNA, revealing 637 known species of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and microscopic animals. Eek! No worries though, most of these microscopic citizens are actually benign or even beneficial. Dr. Mason is using the data to create baseline "PathoMaps" of the Big Microbial Apple.
Before & After
--Sway to teeny-tiny grooves
--Imbibe our cocktail of the night, the Third Rail
--Stick around for the itty-bitty Q&A
