Love or Perish
This essay is about an aphorism that a great teacher morrie swartz created. This asphorism is called "Love or Perish". I will explain in my piont of view what was meant by this, to start; followed by the goods that come of believening in it. Lastly i will explain the bad things that come of this if you believe in it.
I believe when morrie said," We must Love or Perish" he meant that we need to feel love to exist. Not only love but that we need one another to help eachother in our time in need. This is because we need someone to look after us when were little and again when were old. In the middle though you need people as well to do help u coop with feelings and to guide you. that is what morrie meant by we must love or perish.
The good things that come from following this asphorism is that you get closer to the ones you love and that is a very powerful thing. this is because you need them because they are all you have at times. Like when you someone too talk to they are always there for you. That is why you you need to believe in Morrie's aphorism; but, there is some bad things that com efrom believening in it.
The bad things that come from believening in love or parish are that you forget about ambitions towards money and work. this is because you will start to focus more on the people in your life and less on your job. this can then end with you not caring about your job and you can lose it. that is how believening in love or parish can be bad.
In conclusion, you must take the good but watch for the bad when believening in the aphorism. The way you can is just create your own culture with it, as Morrie did. I then finish with believe in it but not to much.

Riddle of the bones

How did They move?

First Family Broad heels- could withstand the pressure used in upright walking.

First Family Toe Bones- curve away from the heel , which is not like those a normal tree climbing primate.

Lucy's pelvis-hints she walked on 2 legs. looks similar to that of a modern day female.

Lucy's Forearm- Longer more power full. made so she could climb and spend most time in trees.

Laetoli Footprints- made by two feet but in a forward motion not as a chimp which is sideways.

What did they look like?

First family- vary in sizes from male to female to young

      -jaw shows a mix of human and chimp-like traits

Hadar Skull- heavy brow structure with a small skull cavity and canine teeth. a more ape like looking skull.

      - teeth with heavy wear from ripping vegetation off of branches

Lucy-wide pelvic opening which meant she was female

- roughly three and a half feet tall and built powerfully

-jaws shows she had wisdom teeth but no wear on her teeth so she was a middle-aged adult

Laetoli footprints-arched with a disconnected big toe

Are they all the same species?

First Family- similar structure to all and size varied

Hadar skull- fragments in jaw and teeth both similar to Lucy and First Family

Lucy- a more V shaped jaw from the hadar skull and a foot shorter then the family

Laetoli Footprints- must of had knee joints and hip joints like much of the first family and Lucy

When did they live?

First family- 3.2 Million years

Hadar Skull- 3 million years

Lucy- 3.2 Million years

Laetoli footprints- 3.6 million years
