Neanderthal

As mentioned above Périgord region has been inhabited from prehistoric times. With its mild climate - it is believed to have been on the northern border of the human settlements during the last glacial era - dense game rich forests and caves that provided a natural shelter, the region was an ideal habitat for the prehistoric man. The earliest traces of human presence date back to Inferior Paleolithic - but the majority of the uncovered artifacts, including the famous caves of the Vezere river…

The key aspect discussed throughout this documentary paper is the role of Neanderthals in todays society, and how they compare to todays humans. Perhaps Neanderthals never existed would it affect todays humans in anyway? Throughout this documentary I learned about a species that I had not heard of or known from previous knowledge. I also found it very impressive the way that the Neanderthals went about living their lives and trying to survive. For instance, I found it thought - provoking that…

The Upper Paleolithic also known as the “Stone age” was one of the most substantial transitions in the world. Back about 40,000 years ago modern humans began to explore their capabilities and made artifacts to the future today. Their expansions in this era includes making stone stools for carving and hunting, artwork, and even burials. It is important to realize the benefits of these artifacts that serve the worlds proposes today. Stone tools are considered a brilliant invention after…

In Book 7 of Plato’s “Republic” readers are presented with the allegory of the cave in which Socrates extensively describes the human element of education and the lack there of it. Socrates using metaphors and analogies explains how someone can be transformed from a realm of undetected ignorance to a domain of greater knowledge. The cave allegory is constructed to represent the plight all men face in the search for the truth and justice among lands full of unwise and unjust people. The very…

Over the last couple of decades the finding of numbers of important fossil discoveries in Africa which were bipedal primates. Biped; terrestrial locomotion where an organism moves by two feet also considers bipedalism. That bipedal locomotion sets modern humans apart from all other living primates. The origin of bipedalism has been argued about by how it was the adoption of early hominin fossil record (that was found) had adaptive shifts locomotion over the series of time. Which illustrate 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…

Take a look at your hands. Do you count eight fingers and two opposable thumbs? Human’s bodies have evolved over millions of years into what they are today, and our hands have played a large part in the evolution of Homo sapiens. The Homo naledi had a very similar hand structure to what humans see when they look at theirs, yet there is still the question of the Homo naledi being a species. The Homo naledi isn’t a new species, but only a hope for a team of scientists wishing to find the next big…

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…

1. The two genera of Eocene fossil primates I choose are Eosimias and Darwinius. Eosimias was first described in 1999 and discovered in 1994 by Christopher Beard. Darwinius was discovered and described in 1983 at the Messel pit. 2. Eosimias lived during the middle Eocene age in Southern China (Fleagle 397). The fossil itself was collected Jiangsu Providence, China. Darwinius also lived during the middle Eocene in Europe, particulary Germany. Darwinius masillae was discorvered southeast of…

Much of what we know about the origins of anthropoids comes from Fayoum, Egypt. Three families of anthropoids have been identified at Fayoum: Parapithecidae, Oligopithecidae, and Propliopithecidae. The ones we are going to talk about are dated 33 million years ago. They all have various species. In addition they are being compared to or recognized to have characteristics of Old World, New World, and Modern World traits. Parapithecids are divided into four genera and eight species. They were…
