lakes. The Homo erectus also known as the upright man, lived in Northern, Eastern, Southern Africa and Western Asia and East Asia. The fossils are the oldest known early humans to have possessed modern human like body proportions with elongated legs and shorts arms. These lived on the ground and had the ability to walk and run long distances. The braincase was relative the size of the face. They also believed that the teeth indicated that they grew up at the rate of an ape. The Homo Erectus was…
Creationism is the belief that the universe along with everything in it was created by acts of divine creation. A good example would be how the Christians believe that God is the creator of all things. Evolution is the process of different species developing and diversifying over a period of time to adapt to their environment. A good example would be us. According to scientists we have ancestors that trace back to six million-years-ago to a group called the Ardipithecus group which is our…
erectus ( upright man) the closest to modern humans were vastly different than H. habilis, and it was capable of doing much more such as having the ability to talk, and having more social interaction, and better use of the tool. H.erectus had a bigger brain, which lead to better abilities like social interaction, use of the tool, and traveling…
ardipithecus boisei is 18.5, homo erectus is 35.71, homo habilis is 33.6, homo heidelbergensis is 26.1, homo neanderthalensis is 25.5, homo sapiens is 36.77, and sahelanthropus tchadensis is 18.5. The fact is if the opisthion index is less than 15, then that organism walks with two feet. We can conclude that all the organisms are bipedalism…
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!…

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…
The article I found is on the discovery of Homo naledi. Happened upon only by chance, the struggle to find Homo naledi was as hard as placing it with either Australopithecus or Homo. I found this article interesting because the discovery of a potentially new species could give us a clearer picture of our ancestors. We may never know the complete story, but as long as we keep on researching and exploring new ideas, our understanding will grow. In addition to adding to our understanding of…
Yuval Harari is a historian professor who teaches at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, that was established by Jared Diamond. Under the support of Jared Diamond, who also aided him in endorsing his book, Harari connected logical research to each part of mankind 's history and also towards parts of history for which no composed records exist. In truth, Harari utilizes less science than Diamond. He underscores the trouble of knowing in detail the lives of our remote ancestors and is frequently…
Before Homo sapiens roamed the earth, flora, fauna, and the species known as Homo erectus, all coexisted. Homo erectus populated Africa, thriving amongst predators, the changing environment, and evolving characteristics of their species. However, certain environmental conditions that were impacting H. erectus, at the time, led to their departure from Africa to Eurasia, where they paved the way for future species and the colonization of the world. This journey of Homo erectus out of Africa and…
