Özet:
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rotating locomotion encompasses two distinct modes of locomotion: simple rolling, and spinning relative to a fixed axle or body, in the manner of a wheel or propeller. Many living systems move by means of rolling; however, despite the integral role that the wheel has played in locomotion of vehicles designed by humans, true wheels do not appear to play any role in the locomotion of biological systems. The reason for this apparent lack of biological "wheels" has been a frequent topic of semi-serious debate among biologists, including noted evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould.
