The Real Eve Summary
We were asked in our Archaeology class to watch two documentaries, one is “In Search of the Origins” and the other is “The Real Eve”. “In Search of the Origins” by Don Johanson discusses the discoveries of the fossils of Lucy, a Homo sapiens from Hadar, Ethiopia, the Laetoli footprints in Tanzania, and the fossils and other artifacts of Zinjanthropus boisei from Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, Homo habilis also from Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania and Homo erectus in Turkana, Kenya. While “The Real Eve” discusses how mitochondrial DNA was used as an evidence to know who are real ancestors are. Only to find out that the modern humans are said to have first occupied East Africa.
It is very interesting to know how modern humans have evolved from the past.

    Denisovan Genome Decoded

    Until recently, most scientists thought that there were only two species of humans (i.e., modern humans and Neanderthals) living in Eurasia in the Upper Palaeolithic (50 – 10 thousand years ago). However, over the past decade several finds have indicated that there were several more. Svante Paabo and his colleagues at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Evolutionary Anthropology have revealed further proof of this fact with genetics. They sequenced the genome from the bones of an individual that had been found in Denisova Cave in southern Siberia. The results indicated that the individual was not a modern human or a Neanderthal. The new species has been named Denisovans. Together with Neanderthals, Denisovans are the closest extinct relatives of modern humans. It is likely that all three species knew of each others existence and may have even lived together in what is today Siberia. Future genomic comparative studies should help scientists uncover important genetic differences that contributed to the development of modern human culture and technology.…

    AP UNITED STATES HISTORY summer reading

    2. There are many scholarly disagreements about the research described in 1491. If our knowledge of the past is based on the findings of scholars, what happens to the past when scholars don’t agree? How convincing is anthropologist Dean R. Snow’s statement, "you can make the meager evidence from the ethnohistorical record tell you anything you want" [p. 5]? Are certain scholars introduced here more believable than others? Why or why not?…

    Three Faces of Eve

    How profound must it have been for the two psychiatrists to stmble upon the first recorded case of multiple personality disorder (MPD). This discovery opened the eyes of people all around the world and was arguably the reason for the massive rise in diagnoses for MPD.

The movie illustrates how two psychiatrists, Corbett H. Thigpen and Hervey M. Cleckley, diagnose Eve white and her multiple personalities.…

    Richard Leakey

    Homo habilis, Richard Erskine Leakey, was born December 19, 1944 in Nairobi, Kenya. His parents were the esteemed anthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey. Leakey decided at an early age that he wanted nothing to do with paleoanthropology and dropped out of high school. Over the next few years Leakey trapped wild animals, supplied skeletons to institutions, started a safari business and taught himself to fly. In 1964, he led an expedition to a fossil site he had seen from the air and discovered that he enjoyed looking for fossils. He also discovered that although he technically led the expedition all the fame went to the scientists who studied the specimens. In 1965 Leakey went to England to study for a degree. Richard successfully schooled himself by completing a two-year secondary education program in six months. In 1966, Leakey married Margaret Cropper an archeologist who had worked with the Leakey family (World Book).…

    Comparing Cherokee And West African Creation Stories

    It’s very odd that the Cherokee and West African stories can kind of share the same story. The Cherokee land (USA) and West Africa are over a 1,000 of miles away and during that time they didn’t have boats or airplanes. So both have something to do with the sky and human where created afterwards. Evidence for this is in the West African “As he bent over the water, he saw his reflection and was pleased.”, and it says that humans came after animals and plants. This is also evident in the Cherokee story” man and woman came after the animals and plants. Though it’s not stated we still know that humans came out of no way. Also they Earth was created for things to live.…

    Relationship of Neanderthals to Modern Humans

    No other ancient people have aroused more controversy and confusion over the last century and a half than have the Neanderthals (3,4). There is an on-going debate as to whether they should be considered Homo sapiens. While the idea that modern humans originated in Africa and spread out to other parts of the world is widely accepted, several scenarios have been proposed to account for the replacement of neanderthal populations. The multi regional hypothesis holds that neanderthal populations in Eurasia and Africa were held together by gene flow. Fossil and genetic evidence supports an African origin for Modern Humans (1,3,5,9,10).…

    Becoming Human

    Homosapiens are the first to be alone in this category of evolution. The Afar north of east Ethiopia and part of the Rift Valley might have some critical evidence to help explain human beginning. This area is being exposed by geological forces in which is separating from Africa’s continent. Now at this point, it explores the fossil of “Selam” also known as “Lucy’s Child.” The paleoanthropologist Zeray Alemseged, California Academy of Sciences, spent eight years carefully excavating sandstone embedded fossil. He is tracing the fossil bones of our earliest humans. But fossils of our ancestor are hard to recover or find. It was a three-year old Australopithecus afarensis female whose bones were found. It was found that near white bands of volcanic ash in the landscape. Then giving it a date of three millions years ago but in geology it explains about stratification, thus in case the fossil was found above the volcanic ash which makes it younger then the volcanic ash.…
