About Seller

Humans are adapted for the things they do. One of our adaptations is our hand. Humans, as well as monkeys, gorillas, and other primates, have a hand that can grasp objects. In this lab exercise, the student will perform several common actions. Then they will change their hand so that it resembles that of a non-primate animal. Students will determine whether or not they can successfully perform the same actions. This will demonstrate how the human hand is adapted for the actions it performs.
