Homo ergaster, meaning ‘workman’, lived in eastern and southern Africa around 1.5 million years ago. The ergaster had a good run for about 500,000 years, until vanishing from fossil records 1.3 million years ago. Homo ergaster was discovered in 1949 somewhere in southern Africa by prominent South African hominin paleontologist, John T. Robinson. Researchers have argued back and forth on the the idea that Home ergaster is a valid taxon due to the similarities between ergaster and erectus. Some…

The task was to test two designs, a cylindrical box and a rectangular box, under the criteria of wasting minimal space and also the least cost the company. This testing would occur by using the knowledge of surface area and volume using formulas to find out the mathematical…

Coastal Erosion in Hawaii Introduction: Coastal Erosion is a natural process along the worlds coastlines that occurs through the actions of currents and waves and results in the loss of sediment in some places and accretion in other places. (center for ocean solutions n.d.) Hawaii is one of the most eroded places in the world along the coast. Hawaii is located 4165km West of California and the mainland. (Map of Hawaii. 2014) The two main islands that are been worked on the most for…

compare them. As I anticipated, the standard error of the mean was quite high due to the small sample size; approx. 61% (male heights), 43% (females) and 50% with both combined. For males and females, the standard deviation was between 6 and 7 centimetres above or below the mean and as expected it was higher at 9.4cm for all the data together. In both males and females, the mean, mode and median were almost equal. In males they were approximately 178cm, 178cm and 179cm respectively and…

The object was found in Smyrna, and it dates from approximately the period between 150 BC – 100 BC . The stele belongs to the British Museum in London. The object is a grave which would have been placed in a cemetery. It as a height of 74.93 centimetres. It is made of marble, and it was created by the process of carving. This object was found in Smyrna, a place where many grave steles of this period have been discovered, and which have allowed academics to learn more about this kind of object.…

The Earth was approximately formed 4.6 billion years ago. Humans evolved 140,000 years ago. To put that into perspective, if Earth’s lifespan had to be condensed into one full day, roughly humans have only lived here for three seconds. In that three seconds, humans have caused extinction, deforestation, pollution, poverty, terrorism and discrimination. And now global warming. The truth is, humans alone have been one of the leading causes of global warming. Over the past 20 years, forest wild…

As a result developing the theme that children find it hesitant to leave. When the son is measuring the room he is “reporting metres, centimetres” representing his small steps into the world hesitantly. He is “reporting…. Back to base”, still keeping in touch and relying on his mother as he moves away emotionally and physically. But the roles reverse when the child grows up and the parents…

exile can be applied to a basic human instinct to feel accepted. Bernard’s exile was more of an exclusion of himself. He felt unique, something that was looked down upon in this novel. He wasn’t the same as everyone in his class. “He stood eight centimetres short of the standard Alpha height and was slender in proportion.” (Chapter 2, Page 43). Because of his short stature and thinness he was not a regular of his class. He didn’t sleep with anyone nor…

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Climate Change is a huge drastic problem in the world and is a common political debate. This issue has definitely one obvious side. Climate Change is man made. In Australia, flashing flooding, random weather events and droughts are common and it is all due to human influence. Seventy years ago, Australia was commonly seen with nice weather. Unfortunately, Climate Change has altered everything. Climate Change is man made because of the hole in the ozone layer…
