Step 1. Provide a summary of the scientific article addressing these questionsThe publication Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society from the unify Kingdom claims to be a publication devoted to a specific area of the biological sciences that aims to define a research frontier that is advancing rapidly, frequently bridging traditional disciplines. Hand before foot? Cortical somatotopy suggests manual dexterity is primitive and evolved independently of bipedalism, published October 7, 2103 by Teruo Hashimoto et al, certainly seems to support this publications claims.1. What issues in physical and biological anthropology are addressed and why are they important?This newly published research from the RIKEN Brain Science Institute addresses a long-standing question in physical and biological anthropology did manual dexterity evolve first in early hominins, as a requirement to make and employ tools with their hands, or did it evolve in response to bipedal locomotion, after t heir hands were free to use? This mystery in human evolution is important to figure because by knowing what evolved first (dexterous hand or agile foot) researchers can better learn how early hominins lived and how they evolved into modern humans. This newly published research as well as addresses an separate very important issue in physical and biological anthropology it introduces new scientific testing methods available to study evolution that can be used to re-evaluate long-standing evolutionary theories. In this case the study of comparative brain physiology for humans and monkeys was used to help establish the study findings. 2. What is the conjecture or main question being tested?-The hypothesis/main question being tested is what evolved first, dexterous... ...arranted based on the new comparative brain physiology research methodology that was performed, and the study of the more recent hand and foot fossil remains of the species Ardipithecus ramidus support the findin gs.Step 2. Compare scientific article with press report addressing the chase questionsHow well did the press report accurately reflect the research article?I believe that the press report reflected the research article very accurately. The hypothesis was stated and was accurately answered. Is the information present correct or misdirecting?The information that is present in the press report is correct and does not mislead How would you have presented this report differently?The way in which I would have presented this report is I would have done more research along the lines of other evolutionary traits of monkeys and humans and then looked at
