Hominid

in the study of such peoples grown and developed over time? Prehistoric people are humans who lived before writing was invented 5.500 years ago. 2. Where (location) and when (date) were the remains of the oldest known hominid found? The remains of the oldest known hominid were discovered in the Djurab Desert in 2001. 3. Which species of Australopithecus is “Lucy”? What is the significance of her discovery? “Lucy” is a female A. afarensis. Her discovery led scientists to discovering the…

(Appendix A) as a means of communication within their species. It is hypothesized that human language evolved spontaneously, allowing for our ecological niche to improve and expand. Prehistoric meat-eating humans began developing a larger brain. As hominids became bipedal, the mouth and vocal cords altered to allow for sounds and words to be spoken. The evolution of language improved thought and planning recognition within the brain. Cave paintings (Appendix B) and written documentation allowed…

The human race, which is arrogant even in their own self-classifications, has dubbed themselves the most advanced species on earth. This claim may be correct, however, it evokes the existential question of how advanced we truly are, and of even more importance, can we continue to advance? It was posed by respected scholars, such as David Attenborough and Ken Ham, that humans have now reached a point at which they can no longer evolve. How can a race be unequivocally superior while simultaneously…

support body weight. Their feet also evolved as the big toe came to be in line with the rest of the toes much like ours in modern times. Before their feet evolved, the big toe used to stick out like a thumb so it could grab things better. Bipedal Hominids also experienced significant changes…

always been a difficult place to live, which caused Africa to be basically be the bullied kid of the world. Not many know, but Africa is where humans are believed to have evolved from, making Africa the potential birthplace of humans, and really any hominids in general. Shortly after the birth of humanity, the Africans started forming Nomadic tribes in which they would move from place to place to collect food and they would survive by moving wherever the food was, and wouldn’t settle down…

reviewing a site named Hadar in the Afar area of Ethiopia, East -Africa when they saw a bone sticking out of the ground. They started work to reveal the bone and discovered numerous more bone sections, which turned out to be an astoundingly finish early hominid skeleton. Not a long way from their first discover, they later revealed the fossilized remainders of a…

naledi fits in the human evolutionary tree (Hawks 2016, 198). Homo naledi is rather difficult to place because the species shows both traits found in other hominids and more primitive traits. Hawks states this is known as an anatomical mosaic (Hawks 2016, 198). One of the most significant differences between Homo naledi and other hominids is that Homo naledi has a much smaller brain in comparison to its body size, bringing Hawks to come to the conclusion that Homo naledi was adapted like a…

comparisons. The human species evolved gradually, and chimpanzees and/or apes did not. Humans and apes are two different species, and it is difficult to comprehend that the chimpanzees and us, only share an ancestor that produced two distinct lineages, hominids, or human-like species, and the great ape species. Chimpanzees and humans have too many physical…

various terrains and platforms. With our ability of curling our hands and feet, we are able to create objects, such as tools, in practice of defense, as our ancestors have done before us to fend for themselves against wildlife and other tribes. “Once hominids came to depend on and develop tools, evolution would favor dexterity of the hands and increasing mental capability required to devise, construct, and apply tools” (MacDonald, 2003, p. 332). Due to physical and mental evolution, we are now…

continue to use of GMO’s here in the United States, or discard them. I think yes we should continue to use Genetically Modified Organisms due to the fact that no major issues have been proven that GMO’s harm or bring into existents unhealthy, sick hominids. The question is can or cannot GMO’s end world hunger?…
