The Evolving Planet exhibit at the Field Museum of Natural History is a work of art that thoroughly explains the story of life through evolution. The exhibit begins by informing us about organic compounds coming to be on earth and how all living organisms require organic compounds. It moves on to explain single cell organisms developing from organic compounds and then becoming self-sufficient using energy from the sun. These single-cell organisms grew into more complex beings with genetic…

evolved from australopithecus afarensis to homo sapiens sapiens. A few million years from now, who knows what humans would be like? We only know they’d be very different and may not even be the same species. The Tucks would be considered living early hominids.…

due to the similarities between ergaster and erectus. Some differences that distinguish ergaster from erectus is: Greater development of the mandibular symphysis, broader nasal bones and nasal opening, Home ergaster is considered to be the first hominid to use a proto-human language due to the presence of the the cervical vertebrae and markings of the digastric muscle located in the mandibular symphysis. However, the cervical vertebrae reveal that the spinal cord was thinner than in modern…

as well as Homo Sapiens. In addition, they have unique features that are enough to separate them to their own distinct species. These fossils convinced Stringer that perhaps modern humans today are not a pure species but rather a mixture of other hominid groups. Neanderthal genes may still be in us. This idea was furthered by an anthropologist M. B. Mednikova who wrote the research article “ Distal Phalanx of the Hand of Homo: From Denisova Cave Stratum 12: A Tentative Description” in which she…

those portions of the brain associated with linguistic capability. One would expect, then, that the evidence for the increasing complexity of the prehistoric cultural record would be linked to an increase in brain size of the associated prehistoric hominids.…

The hominin evolution theory is the idea of Homo sapiens sapiens (AMHs) evolved from a lineage of hominins in Africa. The purpose of the project is to determine the genus and species of seven skulls discovered by Dr. Musoma in Africa, Europe and Asia, approximate the age of each skull, interpret the evolutionary pathway of each species, and provide evidence for and against the “Out of Africa” theory. The purpose of the project with be completed and evidence on the “Out of Africa” theory will be…

The human (homo sapiens sapiens) species initially appeared a little over 100,000 years ago. The species has continued to thrive as a whole ever since—expanding the impact of their abilities year after year. In order to understand the sociological evolution of the human species, one must first and foremost understand the basic origins of their sociological patterns. A good question to begin with would be: what events/circumstances prompted the start of hunting and gathering societies? The study…

our closest living relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos have been widely used as models of the behavior of early hominids. In recent years, as information on the social behavior and ecology of bonobos has come to light, many interspecific comparisons have been made. Molecular studies indicate that humans, chimpanzees and bonobos are very closely related in a lineage that split into hominid and Pan lines approximately 6–7million years ago, possibly following a divergence from the gorilla lineage…

Chapter 1 Explained how the findings of Charles Darwin & Arthur Smith contributed to the missing pieces of evolution with humans. The findings included a variety of bones from hominids and relations to certain ape families, how a new species was discovered Eoanthropus dawsoni which had become extinct years before. Christians became offended by the idea because they derived from the belief of genesis, all creations were made by god in 6 days. Evolution theory started to become more controversial…
