In her article entitled “Close Encounters of the Prehistoric Kind”‚ Science Magazine correspondent Ann Gibbons explains that due to interbreeding between Neanderthals and early modern humans‚ modern humans still contain traces of prehistoric Neanderthal DNA. According to researchers‚ Asians and Europeans most likely possess a higher frequency of Neanderthal genomes than Africans because the two species “occupied the [same regions] intermittently” in Europe‚ the Midwest‚ the Near East‚ and Russia

REFLECTION PAPER ON THE NATURE OF HUMAN BEING & REASON FOR BEING Nature of Human Being: How one does defines Human Nature? A lot has been said about how we evolved as humans and where we came from. There is lots of theories‚ scientific‚ religion‚ magic etc… but truth is‚ we never stop looking and seeking where we really came from. With a lot of assumptions‚ I guess it is a nature of us humans to always get curious and conscious about everything especially if it is something that affects

Anth 68 Day 13 Is Culture a Golden Barrier Between Human and Chimpanzee? Christopher Boesch sets out to describe the distinct cultural behaviors of differing species of chimpanzee in relation to their location and‚ moreover‚ to illustrate the cultural traits that chimpanzees share with human beings. A collective definition of culture is derived from the disciplines of anthropology‚ psychology‚ and biology; it states that culture is not acquired genetically. Culture is shared within a group of members

The capacity for bipedal locomotion has always been considered a defining characteristic of the human species‚ and it is one of the most important features that paleoanthropologists look for when trying to determine whether an ancient species was part of the human lineage. Recent paleoanthropological work has demonstrated that bipedalism might have occurred much earlier than previously thought‚ with the recovery of fossil evidence‚ dated up to 7 Ma‚ that suggests potential bipedal locomotion in various

The human being consists of two aspects - of an immortal spirit and of a mortal body. The flesh comes like a gift of the mother Earth and the spirit of the father God. We dedicate excessively big attention to the first one‚ but nearly nothing to the latter one; and sometimes we even forget that it exists. However‚ there is a saying that a shirt is always closer to the body than a coat. Our planet was developed within the process of evolution - step by step. Millions of suns originate in the nebula

The results‚ detailed in the current issue of the science journal Current Biology‚ may help to explain curiously peaceful interactions among neighboring social groups. The groups were observed in new behavioral studies of the western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla). 1. The study could also provide clues about the role and development of kinship in early human society‚ say researchers behind the work. Despite being the most numerous kind of gorilla‚ the western lowland gorilla species

Upon initial discovery of the skeletons at Liang Bau cave on the island of Flores in Indonesia in 2003‚ these enigmatic skeletons were appropriately dubbed ‚”Hobbits” by Australian and Indonesian researchers because of their small stature and curious bone structure. The location of the skeletons themselves is interesting because of the remoteness of the island from

Primates Woo Youn Choi Professor Sharon Rachele Biological Anthropology June 4‚ 2014 Primates There are two different suborders of primates such as strepsirrhini and haplorrhini. All non-human primates are divided by these two suborders; in other words‚ primates with having moist nose are strepsirrhini‚ and primates with dry nose are haplorrhini. In modern day‚ lots of primates still exist in specific regions. For instance‚ ring-tailed lemur is one of non-human primates from strepsirrhini

Jocelyn Carraman Anthropology 101 March 8‚ 2015 Professor Robertson Siamang Gibbons One of the most interesting primates living on this earth is the Siamang gibbon. I first found these primates interesting while I was at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago years ago because of their unique sound they make with their giant throats that sounds like a howl but has rhythm like a song. They have distinct features unlike other gibbons and they sure know how to make a scene or at least noticeable to visitors
