Homo Neanderthalensis Were Neanderthals a distinct species of the Homo Genus‚ or were they a sub-species of the Homo Sapien? Are modern day humans a product of selective breeding or are they distinctive in DNA to just Homo Sapiens or Neanderthals? To figure this out we will go back to an approximate timeline of over 200‚000 years ago in the Pleistocene Epoch‚ where this fossil‚ and possibly kin‚ resided and thrived. As we know and have all come to understand through media interpretation and display

03/02/2012 Homo erectus & Pyro technology The Homo erectus lineage consisted of the first human beings that controlled fire‚ or pyro technology‚ to sustain life. In this case fire was their lifeline‚ and without it there may not have been the continuation of human life as we know it. Physical evidence of fire making preserved at early sites of Homo erectus caves proved they were able to contain and control the flames. Origins of fire making are speculated from many hypotheses of archaeologists

whether Homo Sapiens are the decedents of Neanderthals or whether they are cousins with a common ancestor. If Neanderthals are considered to be a proper descendent to Homo Sapiens‚ then they can be rightfully classified as Homo Sapiens Neanderthal. If they are truly a separate species‚ then they should be classified as Homo Neanderthal. The theory that Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens are cousins focuses on the time period when both existed and the geographic locations of both groups. Homo Sapiens lived

also important to understand that our ego is only a product of our creation. Like fear‚ our ego can also be broken so that we can begin to fill our lives with positivity and happiness.

have not heard or understood the meaning of this phrase‚ you will soon. Homo neanderthalensis or Neanderthal was the modern human’s closest extinct relative. The Neanderthals were the previous hominid before the Homo sapiens or modern humans. The name “Neanderthal” is derived from the origin of the first specimen discovered. That specimen was found in the Neander Valley or Tal in German. Naturally‚ they called this new hominid “Homo neanderthalensis’. There are a few questions everyone thinks when researching

Homo Sapiens are members of the family Hominidae‚ as well as Chimpanzees‚ Orangutans and Gorillas. Out of this Hominidae classification‚ it is thought that the closest relative to the Homo Sapien is the Chimpanzee‚ both possessing the same common ancestor. This is due to large similarities between the two species. Although there is a large amount of similarities‚ the differences between Chimpanzees and Homo Sapiens are what defines each species as their own. In this paper I am going to focus on the

Building on what Homo Erectus achieved before‚ Homo Sapiens challenged the very notion of adaptation through advanced tool use‚ social-cultural evolution and group dynamics. Homo Sapiens are among the first human species to overcome many of nature’s obstacles with advanced tool use. Along with the evolution of mental facilities came much technological innovation which aided the succession of the species by allowing ease of living. The invention and refinement of advanced weaponry and tools such as

Evolution is change over a long period of time. An organism’s characteristics change over time due to its DNA. The DNA determines how an organism looks. The process of evolution is over millions of years. Scientists use fossils‚ embryology‚ comparative anatomy‚ and the biochemistry to get data fro the organisms of their evolutionary histories. For this purpose for doing this lab is to related organisms’ skull evolved or change over time. Fossils are past living remain organism that left behind and
