The guy who makes it happen.

This slide shows the adolescent phase of development in Homo-sapiens. The adolescent phase is the intermediary between juvenile and adult. Characterized by overactive oil glands on the epidermal surfaces and increased hair growth.

Homo sapiens are characterized by bipedal posture, excellent eyesight, and a very large brain that allows for innovative thought and problem-solving capabilities. The head of a Homo sapiens is larger than other primates because the skull needs room to enclose this large brain. Humans also have a highly developed nervous system and strong senses. Especially important is depth perception (stereoscopic vision), made possible because their eyes are located near each other. Like other apes, humans have opposable thumbs and nails on their fingers, but they lack tails. The upper legs of a human have very strong muscles allowing it to stand upright. A curve in the spine near the lower back also allows upright posture because the center of gravity of a human is directly over the pelvis.
