Keywords
Keywords not foundTransport of food, tools and offspring is an important part of the life of many animal communities. The transport could cause a bipedalism and upright posture in a modern man. This bachelor thesis focuses on the description of the transport of food, tools and offspring in selected primate groups, thus providing a comprehensive picture of transport in the evolution of man. The thesis contains an overview of the different types of food transferred by primates, its obtaining, and the transport itself using mouth or limbs to the place of its processing or storage. In the thesis, a special attention is paid to the tools transmitted in the limbs or in the mouth to obtain and process food. The last chapter of the thesis refers that the cubs of primates can hold on their parents' coat, or their parent provides them support with their upper limbs. The thesis places also emphasis on transport of dead offspring with which young females train the transport of their cubs. Using available facts, we derived the possible ways how a burden could be transported by extinct species of hominins, because it is not possible to determine the exact transport mechanism from their skeletal remains.
