Upon entering a school the seven-year olds ( 2 months) underwent a systematic, experimental,
specially programmed, eighteen-month-long transformational procedure.
The objective of the procedure was to develop the abilities and to observe the growth and
the development of children, both girls and boys. The data were processed by means of
discriminant analyses in each of the three control points. There was a total sample of
487 children. With regard to the phylogenetic characteristics of a human, it may be said
that the basic abilities connected with phylogenetic development may be clearly recognized,
precisely in such a way that children replicate this development throughout their
earliest childhood. Most probably, the basic ability was the ability to maintain a postural
balance, followed by the ability of movement control. Then came object manipulation
by upper extremities, followed by the significance of resistance to inertial forces
while moving, and ultimately the control of complex movements of the whole body
