  2. Evolution of reptiles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_reptiles

    A = Anapsid, B = Synapsid, C = Diapsid. It was traditionally assumed that first reptiles were anapsids, having a solid skull with holes only for the nose, eyes, spinal cord, etc.; [10] the discoveries of synapsid-like openings in the skull roof of the skulls of several members of Parareptilia, including lanthanosuchoids, millerettids, bolosaurids, some nycteroleterids, some procolophonoids and ...

  3. Triune brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triune_brain

    Her theory about human behavior, and the problems we create with that behavior, distinguishes the prefrontal cortex as uniquely different from the rest of the neocortex. The prefrontal cortex, with its agenda of integration, is the part of the brain that can get the other parts to work together for the good of the individual.

  4. Vertebrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebrate

    For instance, descendants of the first reptiles include modern reptiles, mammals and birds; the agnathans have given rise to the jawed vertebrates; the bony fishes have given rise to the land vertebrates; a group of amphibians, the labyrinthodonts, have given rise to the reptiles (traditionally including the mammal-like synapsids), which in ...

  5. Dual inheritance theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_inheritance_theory

    Dual inheritance theory (DIT), also known as gene–culture coevolution or biocultural evolution, [1] was developed in the 1960s through early 1980s to explain how human behavior is a product of two different and interacting evolutionary processes: genetic evolution and cultural evolution.

  6. Sociobiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociobiology

    Studies of human behavior genetics have generally found behavioral traits such as creativity, extroversion, aggressiveness, and IQ have high heritability. The researchers who carry out those studies are careful to point out that heritability does not constrain the influence that environmental or cultural factors may have on those traits.

  7. Reptile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptile

    Unlike amphibians, reptiles do not have an aquatic larval stage. Most reptiles are oviparous, although several species of squamates are viviparous, as were some extinct aquatic clades [6] – the fetus develops within the mother, using a (non-mammalian) placenta rather than contained in an eggshell. As amniotes, reptile eggs are surrounded by ...

  8. Animal culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_culture

    Chimpanzees have been known to use tools for as long as they have been studied. Andrew Whiten found that chimpanzees not only use tools, but also conform to using the same method as the majority of individuals in the group. [53] This conformity bias is prevalent in human culture as well and is commonly referred to as peer pressure. [citation ...

  9. Hox genes in amphibians and reptiles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hox_genes_in_amphibians...

    Hox genes play a massive role in some amphibians and reptiles in their ability to regenerate lost limbs, especially HoxA and HoxD genes. [1]If the processes involved in forming new tissue can be reverse-engineered into humans, it may be possible to heal injuries of the spinal cord or brain, repair damaged organs and reduce scarring and fibrosis after surgery.
