Australopithecus Species: A. afarensis II. Physical Characteristics The Australopithecus afarensis without a doubt had both ape and human features. Just looking at the face of this animal you can see a startling resemblance to humans. The way the eyes are set in the face, the slight protrusion of the nose, and the ever so small back set nature of the jaw brings to mind undeniably human features. They were medium sized, dark creatures, with bodies…

Four million years ago, a few ape like animals that began to walk upright taking the first faltering steps towards becoming human beings.Time and changing, and the struggle for survival continued shaping us. Along the way, social groups became the key to survival, and the human family evolved as pleasure of mating. In their struggle for survival these creatures found saving advantages in a new way of walking.instead of scampering on all fours, as usual, they stood upright and gradually and no…

Humans Evolved From Apes Where humans came from is a question that has been asked since the beginning of time. Some people believe we were created by a god. Others believe we were created by multiple gods. However, anatomical and behavioral similarities with modern apes, along with fossil evidence of our evolutionary history, gives proof that humans evolved from an ape-like ancestor and are in fact, still apes. To understand the evidence behind this, some background information on evolution…

Australopithecus Afarensis Species and Their Existence Humans are a species of hominidae. A hominid is any one of a family, hominidae, of mammals that includes humans with their extinct ancestral forms. Hominids evolved from each other. Humans have evolved over the millions of years from the first hominid. One of the hominid species that humans have evolved from is the Australopithecus Afarensis. A classification of an Australopithecus Afarensis is a Southern Ape. This species is a…

The Australopithecus afarnesis’ set foot to this earth three to four million years ago. The Australopithecus afarensis originated in Eastern Africa, and they were part human, but mostly ape. The archeologists Donald Johanson and Tom Gray discovered the first of the early man’s kind accidentally. When they were when back to their van after a dig in the surrounding area, they found bones on the ground. After further investigation, they discovered that these bones were of Lucy, the first early man…

is usually referred to as the bonobo. Fossils of Pan species were not described until 2005. Existing chimpanzee populations in West and Central Africa do not overlap with the major human fossil sites in East Africa. However, Pan fossils have now been reported from Kenya. This would indicate that both humans and members of the Pan clade…

gift of marriage. There is no such thing as a right to have children. But a child does have the right to be the fruit of the conjugal act of its parents as well as the right to be respected as a person from the moment of conception.” This means that human life must be appreciated, treated…

Australopithecus afarensis (A. afarensis) which split off and evolved into a group known as the Homo erectus (H. erectus) species which finally became the Archaic Homo sapiens (H. sapiens). As of today the Malagans are AMH’s or anatomically modern humans. First species on the evolutionary timeline of the Malagans would be A. afarensis. A. afarensis fossil evidence was found in 2 sites. The first of those sites being Laetoli in northern Tanzania discovered by Mary Leaky and the second would be…

Paranthropus boisei in 1955. (what does it mean to be human) However, not until anthropologist Mary Leakey discovered the well-preserved cranium OH5 at Olduvas Gorge, Tanzania in 1959. It was dated to 1.75 millions of year. Mary Leakey and her husband Louis Leakey classed the specimen as Zinjanthropus. Later on, Louis Leakey’s son Richard Leakey considered Paranthropus boisei to be the first hominin species to use stone tools. (discovery) The heights of average males are four feet six inches and…

to humans in the world. At one time it was believed that gorillas and chimps were the most closely related, until new technologies were developed resulting in the finding that humans share a massive 99% of our DNA with these creatures. Chimpanzees are classified in the genus known as Pan, along with the species bonono, but not with humans. Humans are classified in their own genus known as Homo. The controversy of whether or not the species should be moved into the Homo group along with humans…
