Our sense of self rests upon a multilayered morphology that evolved from a single-celled organism into a potentially multi-planetary species. Each more complex evolutionary layer rests upon and is supported by an underlying more ancient...

Examines human development through evolutionary biology, covering auditory and vision optimization, reflex integration, and movement mechanics. It explores the transition from primal to conscious movement, integrating insights from biology, anthropology, and physiology to understand human capabilities and evolution.
Urban children grow up in engineered surroundings established on a constrained mathematical framework. This framework is limited by the pliability of the materials used, the energy budget, regulations, and other factors. It is now widely...
Exaptation is a fascinating concept in evolutionary biology, referring to the process by which a trait originally developed for one purpose is co-opted for a new use. The term was introduced by paleontologists Stephen Jay Gould and Elizabeth...
A paper cross-linking evolution, morphology, and Manual Therapy
Article discussing Masgutova Neuromotor Reflex Integration applied in a school setting.
explores exercises for auditory enhancement, focusing on sound localization and mid-frequency sounds to improve spatial awareness and communication, countering the auditory limitations of modern environments
advocates for improving visual acuity with exercises tailored to combat the effects of screen use and urban living, suggesting regular practice with eye-tracking exercises for enhanced vision and cognitive benefits
connects Sprike scores, indicating movement smoothness, with reflex integration, suggesting higher scores reflect better reflex efficiency. It explores reflexes as key to survival and skill, proposing Sprike feedback as a tool for enhancing...
challenges traditional posture concepts, emphasizing dynamic movement through "Kinsegrity." This principle promotes efficient, natural movement and standing, minimizing wear by aligning the body to better absorb and distribute energy
critiques the widespread use of chairs for sitting, advocating for a stool-based posture that aligns the spine over the pelvis, leveraging natural postural reflexes for better structural health
