On the fourth document, they discussed about the present day landscape that offers few clues about the ecosystem over day. But what is known is the volcanic rock from the site where Lucy is found contains pollen of 3 million year old plants. One of the said professors there is hoping that pollen analysis will provide will provide further insights in the Lucy’s habitat. A huge amount of rice pollen had emerged form the rock along with of a number of trees.

The last part of the video talks about the Homo erectus which existed way back 1 million years ago. The video differentiates Lucy from the Homo erectus. From the physical appearances, the ability to speak and how the civilizations started from the sanctuary in the different forests of Africa. Lucy serves as the starter of the race that we in this planet, is still continuing up to now.

That evolution is still a mystery, though evidences show that humans came from the higher mammals, the families of the intelligent primates, in which we, humans owe our ancestry. The video shows that humankind’s complex parts and different abilities helped to progress what the early primates have done. The inventions, experiments, and the continuous science inquiries lead to the wonderful technologies that humanity benefits. Evolution is not just one of the answer from where we, humans came from , but also, shows the perseverance we showed jus to move forward and achieve success. SBI3U Name:____________

    Over decades, many Americans reject the ideas of evolution and there were many arguments against the theory of human evolution. However, in order to understand how the human developed, we must look at the human evolution. For many centuries, we have been curious about our origins and our human bodies structure. How we got to be the kind of species we are today, such as the way we look; walking upright on two legs, our hands has five fingers, the size of our brain and teeth, and what makes us a unique species. Our animal ancestors have shaped our body structure in many ways, we humans have a lot in common than you might think with apes, reptiles and even fish.…

    The articles, "Hard Times Among the Neanderthals" by Erik Trinkaus, and "Rethinking Neanderthals" by Joe Alper offer some insight into the existence of the Neanderthals. The articles suggest that Neanderthals may not have been the "dumb brutes" they were originally assumed to be; instead, they illustrate the ways in which Neanderthals were similar to modern humans (Alper, 146). Since the discovery of the first Neanderthal fossil remains in the Neander Valley near Düsseldorf, Germany in August of 1856 questions and controversies have been abound.…

    After 300,000 y.a. tools become more complex and are labeled in Europe as the Middle Paleolithic or in Africa, as the Middle Stone Age (Ambrose 2001). Regional variation is great enough that cultural traditions become evident. Tools composed of two or more materials that require complicated preparation become common and suggest increasingly complex brains. The tool tradition associated with the Neanderthals in western Europe is called the Mousterian (Klein 1999). All are eventually replaced by the blade industries of the Upper Paleolithic which are associated with modern humans. Encephalization, Language and Speech; brain sizes expressed as estimated cranial capacities are commonly reported for various species of hominin. Australopithecus afarensis and A. africanus have the smallest averages to date at 410 and 440 cubic centimeters (cc.), respectively (Collard & Wood 1999). Chimpanzee cranial capacity also averages 410 cc. But chimpanzees weigh about 24% more than the australopiths, thus complicating this simple comparison. The cranial volume of the robust hominins such as P. robustus and P. boisei were in the 500’s and H. habilis, H. rudolfensis and H. ergaster averaged 610, 750, 850 cc.,…

    Neanderthals, also known as archaic homo sapiens, that inhabited Europe, Africa,and Asia 300,000 years ago. Controversies have surrounded on whether they were considered modern human when their fossils were first discovered in Neander Valley, Germany in 1856. At first, Neanderthals were considered inferior to Homo sapiens. However, after years and discoveries later, scientists and paleontologists have found they are very much like modern human, but with different physical appearances. When comparing the modern human skeleton to the Neanderthal’s, one would be able to notice some differences between that of a modern human and a Neanderthals.…

    Paleontologists believe the entire human race descends from Africa. The earliest human remains were discovered there, this is why scientists believe “we are all children of Africa.” Archeologists discovered a human skull that is dated 195 thousand years old. No other remains remotely close to this age have been discovered anywhere else on the planet. Evidence suggests that the first human like species evolved around 400 million years ago from apes eventually evolving into homo sapiens, or more commonly know today as modern humans.…

    An Inconvenient Truth An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary film that was produced by former U. S. Vice President Al Gore in 2006. The film endeavors to educate people about the environmental crisis. In the presentation, Al Gore thoroughly discusses current serious environmental issues and their likely consequences. Gore’s argument is supported by fundamental theories, scientific data, and solid evidences. The movie declares that every person has the responsibility and power to save Earth. In order to accomplish this, action must be taken. Though the film reveals several trivial logical fallacies, the presentation is generally funny, compelling, engaging, and ultimately convincing. Although some critics declare that the film contains more bias than truth, Gore’s attempt to inform the public about global warming significantly promotes the value of social ethics. In the opening scene, Gore presents this thought: “You look at that river gently flowing by. You notice the leaves rustling with the wind. You hear the birds; you hear the tree frogs. In the distance you hear a cow. You feel the grass. The mud gives a little bit on the river bank. It’s quiet; it’s peaceful. And all of a sudden, it’s a gear shift inside you. And it’s like taking a deep breath and going……Oh yeah, I forgot about this.”(Gore) This monologue implies Gore’s message about climate crisis. The 80-minute-long presentation focuses on Al Gore’s travels and his endeavors to educate people about the severity of global warming and its effects. Solid scientific evidence and significant examples are used to support the argument that society’s continual ignorance and the increasing release of pollutant gases will lead to a fatal catastrophe for the planet. The primary evidence in support of this thesis is Gore’s examination of increasing temperatures and CO2 levels over the past 650,000 years. These factors could lead to several possible consequences. An Inconvenient Truth predicts the collapse of an…
