Malnutrition

Work harder for unhealthy food or work easier for much more nutritional food? That?s a simple question, but it wasn?t at the time because the people back then didn?t know of the dangers. On page 16, farming was described as ?the worst mistake in the history of hem human race.? In addition to getting more free time and the same amount of foods as farmers, hunters-gatherers had more nutritional foods and didn?t suffer from malnutrition and other diseases, like the farmers. Farmers also had damaged bones from all the work and the average height of people in farming areas decreased in comparison with hunter-gathering areas. Even though there were so many disadvantages, people still gradually went into the farming lifestyle. Why? Because they did not have this knowledge.

Unit 16 - Animal Behavior List of Terms Fixed Action Pattern (FAP): innate, highly stereotypic behavior, that must be finished even if it is utterly useless. Initiated by external stimuli called sign stimuli e.g. stickleback fish attack other males (which have a red belly) who enter their territory if the stimuli are exchanged between the same species, it?s called a releaser Migration Animals migrate in response to external stimuli e.g. changes in day length, precipitation, temperature environment also gives cues for navigation Some animals track their position relative to sun Animals monitor changes in position of sun against internal circadian clock to tell where they are Nocturnal animals use the North star, which has a fixed position Pigeons use the magnetic field of the earth
