As a result they lost the climbing adaptations of their close relatives such as the opposable big toe that looks like a thumb. Instead our whole body shape has adapted to upright locomotion, specifically long distance running. Humans needed meat to sustain their growing brains, but did not have the size, teeth or claws to hunt like other predators. Instead, as can still be seen in some modern

center of the human body. It is protected by the skull and is made up of three main parts, the cerebrum, the cerebellum and the Brainstem. The brain is the boss of the body, it runs the show and controls just about everything one does, even when one’s asleep. (Kidshealth, n.d.) During this brief tour guide of the brain, one will see how the brain fits into the Central Nervous System, how the main parts work together, and what would happen if one of those main parts were damaged. In humans, the nervous
