Homo sapiens idaltu

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…

In the film, “The Real Eve”, there was a lot of information to process, but a lot of very fascinating details and facts about the first modern humans and how far they came. To start off, before I watched this video I thought humans first appeared on Earth may 70,000 years ago. However, in the documentary it mentioned that the first modern humans appeared in Africa 150,000 years ago, which really made me think how much longer Neanderthals were on Earth before us, considering that they’re a…

Alice travels with Warren Clarke to see footprints that show evidence of early humans arrival dated back to over 20,000 years ago. After that, she looks for signs of any bones left from the ancient giant kangaroos that grew to 2.5 meters and became extinct over 50,000 years ago. Because of bones left from the “Mungo” man dated between 40 and 60,000 years ago she concluded that people could have lived there before entering Europe. She then traveled back to Africa to see how it would have been…

Ch.1 Clive Gamble’s “Settling the Earth: The Archaeology of Deep Human History,” begins with a brief discussion of a shared common ancestor amongst Africans believing this process of expansion settled the world. In addition, he provides a summary of hominins, a group we are included in with our extinct ancestors, Australopithecines, and Neanderthals (Gamble 2013: 23). As the text progressed, I began to understand the author’s notion of this first chapter. I believe this evolution of human…

Looking into the past research, I have always wondered where is the origin of humanity. Many have attempted to answer this simple question, but to be honest, it is more complex than a simple answer. As researchers began to dig, new evidence may suggest that Africa could be the birthplace of humanity by means of archaeological finds, use of ancient tool, and development of agriculture. Each of those giving clear cut evidence that humanity came from the depth of Africa, and populated the world.…

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…

Required Reading: Prehistoric people: 1. What does the term “Prehistoric People” mean? How has the advancement 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…

certain similarities with tooth traits, the pelvis bone, and a broad lower chest resemble those of modern-man. Au. Sediba is a very good candidate for the ancestor to the Homo genus because of many of the similarities found in its skeletal structure. Smaller premolars, molars, as well as facial features were more similar to the Homo genus. The functional changes in the pelvis also strongly support the evolution of upright…

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…

The hominin evolution theory is the idea of Homo sapiens sapiens (AMHs) evolved from a lineage of hominins in Africa. The purpose of the project is to determine the genus and species of seven skulls discovered by Dr. Musoma in Africa, Europe and Asia, approximate the age of each skull, interpret the evolutionary pathway of each species, and provide evidence for and against the “Out of Africa” theory. The purpose of the project with be completed and evidence on the “Out of Africa” theory will be…
