Homo ergaster

Homo sapiens, or modern human, have been around for 200,000 years, but what came before? Scientists have found evidence of many pre-humans: Homo erectus, Homo habilis, and the most famous... Homo Neandenthalensis. Movies, books, and magazines have all been made about them, but what are they really like? Neanderthals had a unique lifestyle, fascinating diet, and amazing anatomy!…

Homo Floresiensis We are the homo species that were found about 95,000 to 12,000 years ago on the island of Flores, Indonesia. We are 3 to 6 inches tall being bipedal, having small brains, shrugged-forward shoulders, no chins, diminished forehead and large feet because of short legs. We are also nicknamed as the “Hobbit” after the tiny creatures in the book Lord of Rings. We have been the most spectacular discovery so far being the most extreme human ever discovered. We don’t look like modern…

Homo erectus, or the "upright man," was an ancient ancestor of humans that lived between two million and one hundred thousand years ago. Homo erectus compared to Homo sapiens, which only evolved two hundred thousand years ago. This means that Homo erectus could have been the first human ancestor to have similar limbs and torso that are seen in today’s modern humans. The Homo erectus showed that it did not have the adaptation of swing from branches which can be seen from its skeletal system but…

ones are the influence of food on inter-birth interval, the avoidance of starvation by Homo sapiens ancestors, our ancestors’ loss of body hair, and the influence of Darwinian selection for social tolerance and cooperation. Wrangham’s hypothesis provides answers for these and other questions throughout his book. Wrangham opens his book pondering a deep question: what made us human? He then states that the Homo genus “stemmed from the control of fire and the advent…

fossils and putting them into their appropriate species. In this paper, I am going to discuss the Homo erectus, Homo Heidelbergensis, and Archaic Homo sapiens. The paper will make comparative analyses of the individual species and point out why I believe they deserve to be categorized as distinct species instead of a one species that has different characteristics due to geographical differences. The Homo Heidelbergensis are approximated to have lived about 600,000 years ago. This simply means…

million years ago, Homo ergaster also roamed around. Even though they shared the same geographic location, they each represent very different phases of the evolution to what we are today. It would therefore be interesting to see how they differed, based on the physical traits of certain representative fossils, when it comes to body size, bipedalism and other cranio-dental features. Height is one of the most explicit physical differences between the Australopithecines and H. ergaster. The…

ecological conditions and behavioral patterns that contributed to the evolution of Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Archaic Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and early modern Homo sapiens during that period of time. First of all, the Pleistocene Epoch is the main point of this paragraph. The Pleistocene Epoch takes place from 2.6 million to 15,700 years ago. it is considered as the reason of the demise of many…

Arturo Perez-Reverte' The Club Dumas was written in 1996 in Spanish then translated into English in 1998. A suspense thriller completely on its own. The story follows Lucas Corso, a self-described book mercenary investigating two rare books: an Alexandre Dumas manuscript of The Three Musketeers and an ancient satanic text called The Nine Doors.

During the many years of carefully analyzing the theories of crime, questionings have challenged whether or not sociology can illustrate and help understand the causation of crimes. The theories of crime and delinquency are used to explain the principle of the crime committed and provides a supportive argument into the motive and compensation of the individual’s actions. Sociological theories of crime focus’ on a macro level around three of its leading theories: strain theory, social learning…
