Answer to Question 1

Totemism is the belief that people are related to particular animals, plants, or natural objects by virtue of descent from common ancestral spirits.

Answer to Question 2

Forms of primate locomotion include quadrupedalism (almost any monkey or ape species),
brachiation (gibbons and siamangs), semi-brachiators (most apes and also New World monkeys
with a prehensile tail), vertical clinging and leaping (lemurs and lorises). Bipedalism may also be
mentioned as part of the human species.
