Humans are bipedal, terrestrial omnivores. As a species, we areadapted to quite a range of habitats, from deserts to mountains andfrom rain forests to tundra. Your job is to determine how humansmight be adapted to live in a low gravity environment (halfof Earth's gravity).
Write a brief description of the musculoskeletal system of ahuman that adapted to your environment, and why it would look theway it does. Consider the following:
- What would be required to support and move the body, and tosupport their lifestyle? You are encouraged to look up other(non-human; can be non-mammalian) animals that share these habitatsfor ideas.
- What if humans had evolved and were adapted to live in veryspecific habitats? In other words, it would still look *basically*like a human but would have some important differences related toits circulatory and/or breathing systems.
- What would these systems of a human that adapted to a differentenvironment look like, and why would it look like this?
- You should consider the following parts of the musculoskeletalsystem in your answer: Bone length, Bone diameter, Bone density,Muscle type, location, and size, Anything else you think isimportant to the musculoskeletal system.
