Textbook Question
Chapter 50, Problem 8TYU
EVOLUTION CONNECTION In general, locomotion on land will require more energy than locomotion in water. By integrating what you learned about animal form and function in Unit 7, discuss some of the evolutionary adaptations of mammals that support the high energy requirements for moving on land.

Each video was presented to the chimpanzees in the following manner. Half of the chimpanzees were first shown the yawning animations and then shown the relaxed facial expressions animations and the other half were shown the relaxed facial expressions first and then yawning animations.
