102 STUDIES OF ANIMAL LIFE. 



7. A ZOOLOGICAL STUDY OF MAN. Somo sapiens. 



1. How does the habitat of man differ from that of all 



other animals? 



2. What factors restrict the distribution of man over the 



earth ? 



3. How do man's natural methods of locomotion com- 



pare in variety and efficiency with those of the 

 lower animals? 



4. Wherein lies man's great advantage over other animals 



with regard to locomotion ? 



5. How has man been able to succeed in all climes with 



such a poor natural protective covering of the body? 



6. What does the presence of incisors, canines, prsemolars 



and molars indicate regarding the natural food of 

 man ? 



7. Why does it take man comparatively so much longer 



to become able to shift for himself after birth than 

 it does any other animal ? 



8. Instead of being obliged to learn how to do things, 



would it be an advantage to man to be born with 

 instinctive knowledge, as many animals are? Why? 



9. Does the muscular system reach its highest develop- 



ment in man or in soifte of the lower animals? 

 Why? 



10. The sense of smell in man is inferior to that in the 



dog. What has brought about this result? 



11. Similarly the sense of sight in man is inferior to that 



of the bird. What has brought about this result? 



12. Why is it unlikely that the natural sight of man will 



ever improve in the ages to come ? 



13. Why is the " sense of direction " in man inferior to 



that of bees, birds and many other animals?
