Ardi

The great Ardipithecus radius (Ardi) was alive on earth around 4.4 million years go. Ardi lived in Eastern Africa where they lived in Eastern Africa and lived in the forest. Also Ardi were known as strict “omnivores”. Lastly, the brain of Ardi’s was about 300 to 1500 cubic centimeters and walked up right like humans (bipedal). Autralopithecus Afarensis (Lucy) was alive on earth around 3.2 million years ago. Lucy lived in Africa where they lived in wet and dry environment typically wooden areas and grass. It was said that Lucy’s brain was less than 500 cubic centimeters about 1/3 of a humans brain but walked up right similar to how us humans walk. The Homo Habilis known as ‘Handy-man’ was alive on earth around 1.4-2.4 million years ago. Handy-man…

American nation is overwhelmed by cultural differences. However, it is these cultural differences that make our nation so unique. For example, you can go into a mall and choose from a variety of cuisines. Those cuisines could range from chinese, italian, indian to american. According to my friend, Margjela she believes that culture tells a lot about a person’s personality and morals. She also mentioned that United States of America is a pot of diversity cultures, and sometimes we get so…

Ardi’s fossils were found alongside faunal remains which indicates Ardi lived in a wooded environment which then contradicts the open savanna theory for the origin of bipedalism. That also states humans learned to walk upright as climates became drier and their environments became more open and grassy (Human Family Tree | The Smithsonian Institution's Human Origins Program. (2010, March 01). Retrieved January 15, 2017, from…

Introduction        As time has passed by, the size of the cranium changed. With that being said, the size of the cranium changed in result of better nutrition. On another note, the width of the pelvis changed as well. In that case, the width of the pelvis changed in result of its bipedality. Therefore, bipedality determines whether or not a genus homo can walk, run, as well as their ability to create tools in order to survive. Ardipithecus ramidus…

However, that theory has been discredited with the discoveries of early hominid remains. For example, the 4.4 million year old female Ardipithecus ramidus, nicknamed “Ardi,” indicates an anatomical connection between early hominids and our closest living relative, the chimpanzee. Some of the physical similarities described in an article posted in Discover Magazine are, “the lower part of Ardi's hip was powerfully primitive, adapted for climbing. In contrast, the upper part of the hip, the…

However, they didn’t quite move like we do. The Ardipithecus pelvis appears to be transitional between being suited for climbing in trees and being modified for walking on two legs (Kottak, 2015). A fairly complete skeleton of Ardipithecus ramidus, named “Ardi” is the earliest known hominin Australopithecus afarensis lived around 3 million years ago (Kottak, 2015). Fossils, including the well know skeleton named “Lucy”, show that they had a mixture of apelike and hominin characteristics…

International Quilt Study Center & Museum. The Museum is amazing, I mean I’m really not one into museums but this was so cool!

While overall alcohol attributable deaths may seem low in comparison to chronic diseases like cancer, excessive drinking (even if a former drinker has been abstinent for years) can lead to a multitude of negative health consequences. These adverse health effects include (but are not limited to): diabetes, liver disease, fetal alcohol syndrome, high blood pressure, sexually transmitted infections, alcohol poisoning, unintentional injuries, sexual dysfunction, neurological damage, intentional…

For instance, a unit on pre-civilization and cave people could incorporate the article called “4 Million Year Old Woman” from the July 2010 edition. This article is helpful in gaining an understanding of prehistoric people and their way of life. It gives a detailed account of how archeologists discovered the skeleton of the woman they named Ardi (Shreeve). This article and many others in the National Geographic serve an educational purpose that teachers and students can utilize within the…
