Human leg

evolved over time to be more efficient, and to abel to better adapt to the enviroment by just standing on four legs. It also shows that ape have gotten more similar features to the ones of human beings over time. Another example of evolution is the skull of a monkey, a monkeys skull has a different shape than the one of a humans, but how younger the species a monkey is the more it looks like a human skull.…

Current Events Assignment #7 Celimar Burgos Title: Foot fossils of human relative illustrate evolutionary 'messiness' of bipedal walking. This article explains the new study on the extinct human relative, Homo naledi that was discovered in a cave in South Africa in 2013 and recently describes last month. The discovery has to do with his feet, that although considered to be the most human-like feature of his body, besides being useful for standing and walking on them they were also good for…

Australopithecus Afarensis Species and Their Existence Humans are a species of hominidae. A hominid is any one of a family, hominidae, of mammals that includes humans with their extinct ancestral forms. Hominids evolved from each other. Humans have evolved over the millions of years from the first hominid. One of the hominid species that humans have evolved from is the Australopithecus Afarensis. A classification of an Australopithecus Afarensis is a Southern Ape. This species is a…

body that stood on two legs and can walk upright. The Australopithecus ate fruits that were rich in sugar, seeds, root, tubers, and bark. The front teeth were wide and and the canine teeth were pointed and longer than the other teeth. These lived in dense forests near lakes. The Homo erectus also known as the upright man, lived in Northern, Eastern, Southern Africa and Western Asia and East Asia. The fossils are the oldest known early humans to have possessed modern human like body proportions…

The Australopithecus afarnesis’ set foot to this earth three to four million years ago. The Australopithecus afarensis originated in Eastern Africa, and they were part human, but mostly ape. The archeologists Donald Johanson and Tom Gray discovered the first of the early man’s kind accidentally. When they were when back to their van after a dig in the surrounding area, they found bones on the ground. After further investigation, they discovered that these bones were of Lucy, the first early man…

Evolutionary Relationships of Hominin Species In the study of human evolution, the timeframe that a specific species appeared and lived is a very important aspect to better understand how modern-day humans developed. The oldest of the species in the chart above is Australopithecus afarensis. Australopithecus afarensis appeared roughly 3.85 - 2.95 million years ago; while it more closely resembled an ape, the evolutionary development into modern humans was beginning. Australopithecus afarensis…

argue that it is just a modern human with a mutation. Since 2003, bones and teeth from as many as 12 other homo floresiensis have been discovered. I believe that by examining the bone structure, we can see that the homo floresiensis are a new species. When conducting my research, I found many sources to use. Two articles I used,…

forehead and large feet because of short legs. We are also nicknamed as the “Hobbit” after the tiny creatures in the book Lord of Rings. We have been the most spectacular discovery so far being the most extreme human ever discovered. We don’t look like modern humans but some of our behaviors are surprisingly similar to the humans. The first fossil of us was to be found by an Australian research team. They found a complete female skeleton of a tiny human at Liang Bua cave on the island of…

Bipedalism was another important factor in the ability for humans to kill at a distance. According to Robert S. Corruccini and Henry H. McHenry in “Knuckle Walking Hominids Ancestors,” “Humans still retain features from a probable knuckle walking ancestor.” However, and some point in human history early humans began to walk upright as modern humans do. According to "Evolution of hominid bipedalism and prehensile capabilities" by Russell H. Tuttle, “The earliest hominids would be recognized as…

a classless society. First, it is impossible to create classlessness because if everyone is equal then there is one class. Society has its problems, and classes have their problems, but it is human nature to put things in groups, by looks, apparent intelligence, and sexual orientation. So, naturally, humans, or animals,will always want equality, but by nature we will always label them and put them in groups. Classes aren't inherently bad, but, if someone abuses their status, classes can and will…
