Archaic Homo sapiens

Stop 1: Chimpanzee, Modern Human, and Neandertal Skeleton 1. The modern human skeleton is much larger in size compared to the chimpanzee and hominid skeleton. The Chimpanzee had longer arms, much narrower rib cage and smaller skull compared to both ancient hominid and human. On the other hand, the hominid had robust bone joints, allowing more flexibility. The skeleton structure of chimpanzee indicates that they moved by using four limbs while both human and hominid walked upright. 2. The…

Hi i'm Alfred Wegener, I am not crazy, my theory makes sense. I will prove it. I have four proofs to support my theories. One of my reasons, is this world is a puzzle, the 7 continents all fit together perfectly, my next theory of pangaea is fossils, then my explanation on mountains, and then i will prove my theory of ice sheets. These are the four reasons why pangaea is real. 300 million years ago there was only one super continent it was called pangaea. 200 million years ago pangaea started…

Homo meant man, and Habilis meant handy, or skilled. The first of the Homo Habilis was found by the archeologists Lois Leaky and Phillip Tobias. When the archeologists uncovered the corpse of one of the Homo Habilis, they named it Jonny’s child. The Homo Habilis reigned 2.4 to 1.4 million years ago. The primarily lived in Eastern-Southern Africa. The Homo Habilis were called the “Handy Man”, because they used more advanced tools…

Paranthropus larger braincases than Australopithecus. Paranthropus is associated with stone tools both in southern and eastern Africa, and there is a considerable information they made and utilized by these robust australopithecines. Most the early Homo was the tool maker, and some of the hand fossils from Swartkrans, South Africa, indicate that the hand of Paranthropus robustus adapted for precision grasping and tool use. Most Paranthropus species seem almost not have language for their…

Italian team unearths 800k year old Homo Erectus footprint A team of Italian researchers have possibly uncovered the oldest ever fossilized footprint left behind by modern man's early ancestor, Homo Erectus. The prints are thought to date back some 800,000 years and were unearthed in the desserts of south eastern Eritrea. “The footprints will reveal a lot about the evolution of man, because they provide vital clues as to our ancestors gait and locomotion,” Explained Alfredo Coppa, the…

at the skull and teeth they realized it was the skull of an adult. Many scientists think this is a new species that they named homo floresiensis, but others 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,…

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 with elongated legs and shorts arms. These lived on the ground and had the ability to walk and run long distances. The braincase was relative the size of the face. They also believed that the teeth indicated that they grew up at the rate of an ape. The Homo Erectus was…

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…

Mary Anning was considered to be the first female paleontologist and the greatest fossil finder. She overcame a lack of formal education to emerge as one of the foremost authorities on fossils. When she was twelve year old, she found the skeleton of one of the first Ichthyosaurus, a giant marine reptile that lived in the early time of Jurassic period in Asia and Europe. She discovered more Ichthyosaurus fossils and also many other important discoveries as an amateur fossil collector in the…

What are the key elements of Rational Choice Theory? • Beeson and Firth (1998) ‘Neoliberalism as a political rationality: Australian public policy since the 1980’s’, Journal of Sociology, Vol 34. Pp 215-231 In Beeson and Firth’s article, I gain a further insight into the conception of liberalism and the implementation of rational choice theory, specifically focusing on economic gain and wealth. The authors thoroughly researched the introduction of liberalism in the 1900’s and the resurgence…
