nothing but power, riches and a lifestyle change. She felt like The Emperor as of now; which is what she decided to nickname this creature that was once herself in the end. At this point, “The Emperor” was able to stand, focusing on the dirt stained skulls scattered around where she once was lying. Their jaws were moving, speaking, as if someone was messing around with her. “Mortal kings are ruling castles Welcome to my world of

injury. Over 3,800,000 concussions were reported in 2012, double of what was reported in 2002 (“Stats on Concussions”). A concussion is mild, but serious, brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) happen when the brain bounces off the inside of the skull. The brain is shaken, causing the brain to function in different ways. There are two different forces, linear, and rotational. The force linear is a straight on force. The brain bounces forward and backward. The rotational force is when the brain rotates

1. Why is shaking a baby so dangerous? • Shaking a baby is incredibly dangerous for many reasons. When a baby is shaken rapidly it is called shaken baby syndrome. First and for most it can cause serious injury. The shaking of a baby can cause serious brain injury which can affect the baby’s vision and the baby can potentially have behavioral problems and developmental problems. These types of injuries can affect the baby for the rest of their lives. Lastly, the shaking of a baby can potentially cause

Transitions of Reptiles to Mammals      A long long time ago, in a galaxy not too far away, was a little blue planet called Earth, and on this world not a single mammal lived. However a lot of time has past since then and we now have lots of furry creatures that are collectively called mammals. How did they get their? Where did they come from? These are the kinds of questions that led me to my subject of choice. I will endeavor to provide examples, using specific transitional

scientific theory of brain localization. His theories were based entirely on observation and natural philosophy. Phrenology was the study of associating an individual’s personality characteristics and mental abilities based on the shape of their skull. It was incomparably influential throughout the first half of the 19th century thanks to Gall and his many successors. Some of the main tenants of phrenology were later confirmed by scientific experiments and technology. The Principles

Intra-Operative Image Guidance in Sinus and Skull Base Surgery Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) using rigid endoscopes has developed into becoming the mainstay treatment for opening obstructed outflow tracts of the paranasal sinuses. However, limitations surrounding FESS have resulted in intra-operative Image-Guidance Systems (IGS) to improve outcomes in complex skull base procedures. A principal limitation of the endoscopic endonasal approach is the availability of only a two-dimensional

2.2.1.The Skull It has been shown that the skull has the second greatest degree of sexual dimorphism with reported accuracies for sex determination as high as 77% (Stewart, 1979), 80-90% (Hanihara, 1959; Krogman, 1962; Cox and Mays, 2000) and even >95% (Baughan and Demirjian, 1978; Briggs, 1998; Franklin, Freedman and Milne, 2005; Kimmerle, Ross and Slice, 2008). However, it is thought that novice forensic anthropologists might report lower accuracies than these since, for example Stewart (1979)

Forensic Osteology of Child Abuse By: Heather Hogue ANTH328-101 11/26/2016 In my paper, I will explain forensic osteology and how it helps determine child abuse. I will also explain different cultures and situations where child abuse cases take place. I will describe where child abuse has taken place even in ancient times. Lastly, I will explain the challenges of forensic osteology in determining child abuse, what could be mistaken for it, and how it’s properly analyzed. My first article

an Asian female over 30 years of age that was between the height of 4’8” and 5’3”. Summary of Findings: -sex: Through examination of the bones, the individual is identified as a female. The main bones used to determine sex are the pelvis and the skull. The pelvis is a crucial indicator of gender, but because the individual is small in stature, the pelvis may not be as accurate. Nevertheless, main parts of the

Manfrenjensenjen. While sorting through samples I came across 6 hominin skulls that lack analysis. In this project, I am going to explain and talk about the six skulls in the Anthropology Department that I found. To do this, I will use what I have learned in lecture, as well as numerous outside sources to describe three defining characteristics for each skull. Additionally, I will provide necessary information about each skull if needed. After that, I will put the fossil samples in evolutionary order
