I: Grandpa, how did humans evolve?
He has always worked hard at anything he has pursued and I still look to him for advice in my golf game. Even though his stroke has limited him from playing a round of golf he will still go to the course with me whenever he can. Today he still lives in Lenoir, North Carolina and goes to work at Lenoir Mirror almost every day. I hope I have his work ethic when I get to that…
According to the theory of evolution, founded by Charles Darwin, humans are merely the progressed descendants of apes. During the extensive course of which such primitive creatures evolved into the homosapien species, there were various physical changes occurring. Included was the advanced posture where humans began to stand upright, on two legs as opposed to their former crouching position where they would stride on all fours. Other transformations include the observable…
If you could choose any three people to invite to dinner, who would it be? Three people I would ask are Lee Wayne Wheeler, Joseph Taverez, and my Mom because Lee Wayne and Joseph both died way too soon and died in car accidents and my mother was so heart broken when these loved ones of ours were taken. Lee Wayne was my moms brother before he passed away in unfortunite car accident. My mother was six month's pregnant with me when the car accident happened. I have always been told stories about how funny his and how much he is like Clay, my brother.…
Humans, surprisingly, weren’t originated in the americas! In fact, it wasn’t till the ice age until they even found themselves in just one of the americas. So how did they even get to the americas without boats? Well, it needed time, but the ice age introduced us to Land Bridges. They were pieces of hidden land, exposed during the ice age.…
Homo sapiens is the name of the species that rules today 's Earth. It means in Latin man (Homo) that is wise (Sapiens), but who are these "wise men" that have made their way to the top of the food chain you may ask? Well, they are we, like you and me, humans that have out competed our fellow homos into extinction. How do we know this though? Well, around 3.3 million years ago people started to become curious about how we Homo Sapiens came to be and human evolution in a whole.…
Prompt 1 One of the greatest and most renowned biologists of all time, Charles Darwin, wrote a fantastic novel The Origin of Species. The Origin of Species begins with an extraordinary image of existence as coexistence. Darwin describes this through the process of how multiple beings rely on each other for survival. Morton describes this as, “Water and air are like hair and feathers.…
Chapter Nine – Understanding the Past, Human Origins and Role In order to understand the present, we must have an understanding of the past. However to understand the past, you have to understand how people thought and understand the environment that they lived in. Although no indication of the progenitor of human beings is accounted for like in the biblical text, there is mention of how human beings were made.…
Homo erectus, or the "upright man," was an ancient ancestor of humans that lived between two million and one hundred thousand years ago. Homo erectus compared to Homo sapiens, which only evolved two hundred thousand years ago. This means that Homo erectus could have been the first human ancestor to have similar limbs and torso that are seen in today’s modern humans. The Homo erectus showed that it did not have the adaptation of swing from branches which can be seen from its skeletal system but suggesting it had adapted to walking on both feet confirming his name the “upright man”.…
Hominid Evolution is the evolution of human lineage. Dating back millions of years with Sahelanthropus tchadensis, it's the oldest found hominid, dated around 7 million years old. This species is known for its cranium and it's very small brain size, and a specific amount of both jaws and teeth. It has many, ape-like features, such as; small brain size, brow ridges and small canine teeth, which are characteristic of hominids. However, this along with the fact that it comes from around the familiar time when chimpanzees and humans are suspected of being relatives.…
As I packed my things to leave for New York, all I could think was how I was leaving my childhood behind. Oh you’re probably wondering, “Who is this guy?” and “Where did he come from?” And to answer your questions I am Genim Nowakowski and I am from Riven Hills, Nevada.…
He played the role of being my big brother while my big brother went off into the navy when I was 10. He was a great friend, a great son, brother and cousin. I miss him so much but I know he is in a better place and is no longer in…
My origin Story Do you feel how hard is it when you forced to leave your own country? Since we born, the process of changes and challenges starts taking effects on us physically and emotionally. In our life, we never expect every thing run in good shape or smoothly. For example, we never thought that one day we as a family are going to live in The United States. Since leaving my country, Iraq, which is the most horrible thing in my memory, I have gone through enough challenges not only myself but even for my family as well that converted our way of life.…
Humans Evolved From Apes Where humans came from is a question that has been asked since the beginning of time. Some people believe we were created by a god. Others believe we were created by multiple gods. However, anatomical and behavioral similarities with modern apes, along with fossil evidence of our evolutionary history, gives proof that humans evolved from an ape-like ancestor and are in fact, still apes.…
As I read through the readings we have heard this morning, particularly our gospel, two memories from my childhood came to my mind. On the surface they seem to have little to do with what we have read, but bear with me, I hope to make them make sense. The first memory was of my mother, or more particularly my mother’s habit of beginning to watch a movie when it was half way through. I’m not sure if you’ve had a similar experience as that, where people join into the storyline after most of the character development and plot construction has taken place – leaving them with no clue what is going on, but for some reason an insatiable need to make sense of it. “Is he the good guy?”, “Oh, why did they do that?”, “Well this makes no sense at all?”.…
Time is a clock which faces no interruptions. Most individuals view time as a changeable means of travel/time travel. As human beings, we have many fascinations about the future; some will go so far as to say that time travel is feasible. What if time travel was possible? The possibilities would be endless.…
