The human body contains a bunch of different systems, and it has many divisions within the systems. Organs, tissues, bones, joints, and cartilage are just a few things that are the genetic makeup of the actually human skeletal system. The human skeletal system is very diverse but unique at the same time. Bones are responsible for playing a major role in how our body is made up and functions. A bone is a rigid organ in which it contains living and evolving tissue that has various particular…

there obvious physical differences/similarities among both, but there are also mental. You’d be surprise to see how much our species is so closely alike to an alternate one. The Homo Sapiens species is the species to which all modern human beings on this very planet belong to. 200,000…

Throughout all of human history, our human ancestors have been evolving. Early humans went through many stages before they even came close to present day humans and started showing growth and intelligence. The cooked meat and change in humans physical appearance showed the first sign of humans evolving. Next, the natural paintings in caves of dreams and prey. Finally, there was early humans settling in communities that also included domesticating animals. Throughout all this time humans evolved…

Preventing Animal Cruelty in the Environment Animal cruelty, also called animal abuse, is the harming of animals or not caring for an animal responsibly. It is against the law to abuse animals, especially for personal benefits. Animal cruelty is a global problem that cannot be easily resolved. Studies have shown that more than 15 million animals are used for research purposes worldwide, often with little or no medical care. Animal cruelty comes in many different forms and there are various…

the mandibular symphysis, broader nasal bones and nasal opening, Home ergaster is considered to be the first hominid to use a proto-human language due to the presence of the the cervical vertebrae and markings of the digastric muscle located in the mandibular symphysis. However, the cervical vertebrae reveal that the spinal cord was thinner than in modern humans. This may indicate that this species had limited speech capacity due to the lack of nerves needed for the complex control of…

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…

When first entering the Human Origins exhibit, the first thing that caught my eye was the skeleton structures of the Chimpanzee, the Neanderthal and the Modern Human. On the back of these statues there was a section titled “Meet Your Relatives”. This was interesting because it allowed everyone in the museum to compare themselves biologically to Chimpanzee’s and Neanderthals. One of the interesting facts I learned, structures of the chimpanzee and the neanderthal are similar when it comes to how…

which is exceptionally tall in comparison to modern human boys at the same age. Modern humans living in colder climates are known to have shorter limbs in contrast to those living in more tropical regions who have longer limbs that results in more body surface area and, thus, promote heat loss (Reference). The Nariokotome boy had a tall, thin body with long limbs that resemble more closely to modern tropical populations rather than our early human ancestors, which suggests that he was accustomed…

exactly how far back does dissection go? Well in about the third century, BCE, there were many physicians performing dissections. Two of the most famous are those by the names of Herophilus, of Chalcedon, and Erasistratus, of Chios. These two performed human dissections in a part of Egypt called, Alexandria. However, this practice was…

anatomical: the brain thinks, and the body responds, any time and any place, that is, if lifestyle behaviors have not deformed the vocal instrument (i.e., excessive spicy foods, alcohol, smoking, screaming, et cetera). Singing begins with an exhalation of human vocal sounds (phonation) (NIDCD, 2015). At the point of phonation, two smooth adjacent muscle tissues in the thorax come into contact and vibrate to create resonating sound waves from the throat, mouth, and nose (NIDCD, 2015). As any…
