Homo sapiens

evolution from 2 milion years ago to 20,000 years ago. Throughout this research paper, it shows the analyze 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…

environment to survive teaches us about? During Prehistory time, the way Homo erectus and Homo sapiens survived is similar and different but teaches us about how both used the environment to survive. Survival were necessary to our ancestors because survival is to remain alive. Survival has changed the level of the weapons that Hominids used. It also changed clothes that Hominids wear. Survival included a lot of thing, some of them were weapons, clothes, diet and hunting… Some researchers say…

Homosapiens Between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago, Homo sapiens left Africa in search of more space and new habitats to use.On search, some how they met up with the Neanderthals occupying the Middle East and Southern Europe. There’s one hypothesis that suggests that Neanderthals were no match for Homo sapiens. Neanderthals were pushed out of their habitats, and extinct by Homosapiens. Another discovered evidence suggests that, Homo sapiens didn’t leave Africa in large groups, but in smaller…

Homo sapiens were the only existing human species left on earth evolving since about 160,000 year ago. Homo sapiens are the complete modern humans Homo is the human genus. Which also includes Homo erectus and Neanderthals plus many other extinct species of hominid family. Question is what species evolved into Homo sapiens. According to Ember & peregrine (2007). “Most Paleoanthropologists agree that Homo erectus evolved into H. sapiens” (p.171). Reason being because, of classified fossils that…

Hunting and the use of tools are connected; without tools, there would not be any hunting, and without hunting, what would you really use tools for? Archaic Homo sapiens are associated with middle Paleolithic tool assemblages (developed Oldowan and Acheulean tools), and cannibalism as well as hunting other large and small animals. Archaic Homo sapiens used developed Oldowan and Acheulean tools, as well as prepared core (Conroy and Pontzer). Most of these tools used were either made from stone…

Neanderthals is arguably the closest species related to Homo sapiens, but the question lies on why did they disappear whereas our species managed to survive? The first explanation of why the Neanderthals did not survive competition with Homo sapiens is they might had starved to death. The main reason being that they started fighting for the same resources after Homo sapiens migrated from East Africa. One important aspect of this explanation shows the brain develop according to their environment…

Six to seven million years ago Homo sapiens oldest common ancestor roamed the earth, specifically in the north-central region on the continent of Africa. This ancestor is known as Sahelanthropus tchadensis (Tattersall). They are accepted to have common lineage due to their terrestrial bipedalism, forward positioned foramen magnum, the broad and flat facial structure, and the smaller canines separating it from the very similar ape family (Tattersall). Unfortunately the genus Homo has not had much…

snowflakes are perfectly the same. The same concept applies to hominids. Homo Sapiens and Homo Erectus were different but still had some of the same features. Yet, there was something about them that made them unique in their own way. Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens are close relatives despite this they are very different. Moreover, Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens differed, but were also similar; this affected their behavior and lifestyle. During prehistoric times Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens…

Our Homo Sapiens Sapiens generation was founded by the Neanderthals who shaped our modern day needs. They slowly established the use of imagination, shelter, language and tools. The Neanderthals were the closest to our species of our common ancestors. The impact of the Neanderthals can still be seen today. This paper will cover the physical and psychological developments of Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens leading up to survival of the fittest, modern day Homo Sapiens Sapiens. The Neanderthals…

Name: Simranjeet Kaur Student no. 100280379 Course: ANTH 1131 Instructor: Lisa Ferguson Assignment: Did Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens interbreed? It is true that homo neanderthalensis and homo sapiens interbred. It can be explained based on the study of the genome of Neanderthal. Neanderthal is the extinct species of the genus Homo whose fossils were first discovered in Neander valley in Germany, hence named as Neanderthal. This species of the genus Homo is closely related…
