Bean+Passing+averages

 * 1) How does the number of beans being passed change as your finger combination change?
 * 2)  – What are some conclusions you can develop from looking at this data?
 * 3)  – What might 2 or 3 sources of error that occurred during this experiment?
 * 4) HOW DOES THIS LAB DEMONSTRATE “ADAPTATIONS”?

1. The # of times the beans are being passed are decreasing because the combination of the fingers change, and the UR3-UR4 was the hardest because we couldn't use our opposable thumbs. 2. Opposable thumbs are useful when you are passing beans to your classmates. When you combine other phalanges without your thumb, it is harder to pass the bean because you can't control it as well as you would with your opposable thumbs. Without opposable thumbs, it would be impossible to do everyday chores, like cooking beans. 3. -dropping the beans and not starting over -timer gone wrong -incorrectly writing the data -not using the correct fingers -throwing the beans instead of passing them 4. Adaptation is basically a trait primates have in order to live. Opposable thumbs is an example of an adaptation we human beings have. This lab showed the results of doing something so simple, like passing a bean, to show the purpose of opposable thumbs. It demonstrates the effects of not having thumbs, and using other phalanges while passing a bean.
