Stop 1: Chimpanzee, Modern Human, and Neandertal Skeleton 1. The modern human skeleton is much larger in size compared to the chimpanzee and hominid skeleton. The Chimpanzee had longer arms, much narrower rib cage and smaller skull compared to both ancient hominid and human. On the other hand, the hominid had robust bone joints, allowing more flexibility. The skeleton structure of chimpanzee indicates that they moved by using four limbs while both human and hominid walked upright. 2. The…
Hi i'm Alfred Wegener, I am not crazy, my theory makes sense. I will prove it. I have four proofs to support my theories. One of my reasons, is this world is a puzzle, the 7 continents all fit together perfectly, my next theory of pangaea is fossils, then my explanation on mountains, and then i will prove my theory of ice sheets. These are the four reasons why pangaea is real. 300 million years ago there was only one super continent it was called pangaea. 200 million years ago pangaea started…
Paranthropus larger braincases than Australopithecus. Paranthropus is associated with stone tools both in southern and eastern Africa, and there is a considerable information they made and utilized by these robust australopithecines. Most the early Homo was the tool maker, and some of the hand fossils from Swartkrans, South Africa, indicate that the hand of Paranthropus robustus adapted for precision grasping and tool use. Most Paranthropus species seem almost not have language for their…
Italian team unearths 800k year old Homo Erectus footprint A team of Italian researchers have possibly uncovered the oldest ever fossilized footprint left behind by modern man's early ancestor, Homo Erectus. The prints are thought to date back some 800,000 years and were unearthed in the desserts of south eastern Eritrea. “The footprints will reveal a lot about the evolution of man, because they provide vital clues as to our ancestors gait and locomotion,” Explained Alfredo Coppa, the…
at the skull and teeth they realized it was the skull of an adult. Many scientists think this is a new species that they named homo floresiensis, but others argue that it is just a modern human with a mutation. Since 2003, bones and teeth from as many as 12 other homo floresiensis have been discovered. I believe that by examining the bone structure, we can see that the homo floresiensis are a new species. When conducting my research, I found many sources to use. Two articles I used,…
find them. About two million years ago a new species emerged after that of Australopithecus. This species belonged to that of Homo and were called Homo erectus. They were the first to walk upright on their feet. They were much more intelligent of that of the Australopithecus because of their ability to communicate. About 200,000 years ago, a new species flourished called Homo sapiens who were put as the consciously thinking human. They possessed the largest brain of all the ancestors and had a…
What are the key elements of Rational Choice Theory? • Beeson and Firth (1998) ‘Neoliberalism as a political rationality: Australian public policy since the 1980’s’, Journal of Sociology, Vol 34. Pp 215-231 In Beeson and Firth’s article, I gain a further insight into the conception of liberalism and the implementation of rational choice theory, specifically focusing on economic gain and wealth. The authors thoroughly researched the introduction of liberalism in the 1900’s and the resurgence…
There are many definitions of the word story, but one definition in particular fits the topic of human origins perfectly; a narration of the events in the life of a person or the existence of a thing, or such events as a subject for narration. The story of human origin and the creation of human nature is a difficult story to tell, created by miniscule pieces of evidence and guesswork through paleoanthropology, and advances in the ability to look at and study DNA. Exactly where we came from and…
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…
The play “Julius Caesar” explained two men named Brutus and Antony who both presented speeches in front of their town with different meanings about the assassination of Caesar. Antony had to ask Brutus for permission to speak at Caesar’s funeral. His despairing emotion and speech drawed the crowds special attention. Antony speech does not show any praise of caesar but does show sympathy and memorable memories that caesar did for his town. This whole situation sums a complete catastrophe. If…
