Hominid

Proconsul Africanus (an ape skull) and Gracile Australopithecine (a hominid skull). Proconsul Africanus was from Kenya and lived 23.8-5.3 million years ago. However, Gracile Australopithecine was from Ethiopia and lived 5.3-1.8 million years ago. Based on observation the tooth size is different especially in terms of the canine teeth. The ape skull has large canine teeth whereas the hominid skull has small ones. The brain size of the hominid is bigger whereas the brain size for apes seem…

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…

brain size are due to several converging factors that accentuate each other in a constant feedback loop. Raw plant foods were the majority of early hominid diets and tubers were particularly important and the cooking of these foods would cause a substantial increase in digestibility and increase the amount of plant foods available for early hominids. Also, the increased eating of meat alone, without cooking would have smaller effects on nutrition than the adoption of cooking. This…

of gender roles in early male and female hominids and Homo sapiens. I will also address how the advancements in the technology of biological reproductive control, has affected and shaped modern day gender roles. The major drive for early hominids and Homo sapiens was the acquisition of food and reproductive success which was essential in their survival. Biologist suggest that with the development of bipedalism came some possible advantages for early hominids. Biologist state, “Males may have…

inventions and social developments of Paleolithic period hominids have created foundations of human societies today. Explain why each was important to the survival of early hominids and the success of the human species down to today. Stone tools, fire, cooking, and forms of art were some of the technological intentions and social developments of the Paleolithic period hominids that have created foundations of human societies today. Hominids made stone tools by smashing two rocks together. The…

Bipedalism is the ability to walk on two legs. This behavior was first associated with apes nearly seven million years ago. During this time period, the jungle Africa started to become barren and lacked enough resources for the apes to continue living as they had. The lack of food in their jungle environment forced them to travel on the ground, however, this led to many problems. While searching for food on the ground, apes were susceptible to predators, they also lacked the ability to transport…

In the article, it argues that slow growth and high mortality rates are highly associated with nutritional status. The early hominids are the cornerstone of assistance to the comprehension of the evolution of the human diet. The early hominids were mostly hunters and gatherers (Ungar and Mark 145). Undertaking the study on Hadza children, it is assumed that the hominids relied primarily on plant foods that were gathered. The type of human to have engaged in hunting and gathering was to Homo…

history been at play? There is evidence of early hominids making and using stone tools that date back millions of years ago. These tools are the earliest known signs of modifying natural materials for use as a tool. In this article we will travel back to the early stages of human evolution to date when we began to use objects to assist with life and how the objects were used and made. Oldowan technology is the earliest known evidence of hominids making tools using their environment. This…

formed a safe terrestrial bridge for animals to cross over through Africa, Asia, and Europe (Bar-Yosef, Ofer, pg. 212). The Near East will continue to be considered as the only evidence for the hominids migration into other regions outside of Africa (Bar-Yosef, Ofer, pg. 212). The successful adaptation of hominids into Western Asia resulted into their mobility at even greater distance into southeast Asia (Bar-Yosef, Ofer, pg. 212). Therefore, detecting the earliest sites in the Near East that…
