" Homo sapiens‚ a primate risen in Africa from a lineage that split away from the chimpanzee line five to eight million years ago" (501). In Wilson’s terms‚ Homo sapiens is the reason for earth’s change and composition. He asserts that no other species has ever come close to the human species of 5.5 billion‚ and furthermore believes that this vast number will likely double within the next 50 years. Wilson goes on to say that our species is like no other: "We are tribal and aggressively territorial

Louis Menand‚ a college professor and the author of “Live and Learn: Why We Have College‚” explains the meaning of college through three theories that have been developed.

Homo Aquaticus? I.

In my paper‚ I will describe the most defined differences of brain size and centers between humans and their closest relatives‚ chimpanzees‚ to compare them

of a new hominin species named Homo naledi that lived around 2 million years ago (Lecture‚ 4/14). In this paper I will assert the importance of the Homo naledi find in terms of its excavation process and its larger implications for hominin evolution. To support this statement I will explore the innovative technological methods Lee Berger and his team used throughout the research and excavation process and analyse the anatomical similarities and differences between Homo naledi and other hominins living

Homo sapien neanderthalensis is estimated to have lived between 130‚000 and 28‚000 years ago. The first remains were found in a German valley in 1856. This valley is called Neander Valley—the German word for valley is Tal—giving the species the name Neanderthalensis‚ most commonly known as Neanderthal. Neanderthal remains were discovered at the La Ferrassie cave located in Dordogne‚ France. Multiple excavations of the site have occurred between 1909 and present time‚ all of which have contributed

Ecce Homo by Nietzsche is ironically a reflection of himself. It is extremely sarcastic and is a reflection of himself as a writer and philosopher in a self-deprecatory manner . The book is as though he is putting his life on trial to which the title alludes. The words "ecce homo" (behold‚ the man) were proclaimed by Pontius Pilate in the New Testament of the Bible when he gave up Jesus to the Jews to have them do what they liked with him. Likewise Nietzsche is giving himself up to his readers and

Neanderthals have hovered over the minds and have baffled the best-laid theories of paleoanthropologists. They seem to fit in the general scheme of human evolution‚ and yet they’re misfits. (Jurmain‚ Kilgore‚ Trevathan and Ciochon. p.367) In a way they are like us the modern Homo sapiens but yet are a very different species. But the real question that needs to be answered is “why the Neanderthals were considered a different species than the Homo sapiens and what made them go extinct?” The first Neanderthal
