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

group of scientists found the partial skeleton of a new human species we had never seen before. Researchers called the remains LB1‚ also nicknamed the hobbit due to its small size. It was first believed that this new species‚ Homo floresiensis‚ was a descendent of Homo erectus that had simply dwarfed over time due to limited access to resources. However‚ newer studies have highlighted some of the more primitive characteristics of LB1‚ which lead scientists to believe that the hobbits branched off from

Working to succeed and survive requires certain behavior and execution. It was not as easy to live at the time of the Homo erectus‚ Neanderthals‚ and Indians form the twentieth century. They had many problems‚ which made it difficult to survive. Some of their problems are problems that we still have today‚ but with our improvements such as new studies and technology‚ it is much easier for us to deal with these situations. They needed order and systems. They needed a leader; one who could take the

Homo Floresiensis: A Creature of Controversy Since its discovery in 2004‚ Homo floresiensis has sparked tremendous controversy among archaeologists across the world (Aiello‚ 2010:169). Found on the island of Flores (hence the name)‚ located in the midst of Indonesia‚ the fossil remains present a dilemma that is often compared to that surrounding the Neanderthals (Liberman‚ 2009:41). Simply put‚ the discovery of Homo floresiensis challenges the prevailing record of human history. Homo floresiensis

Saving energy was applied to having and raising more offspring. Homo habilis‚ meaning handy man‚ is the same as the Australopith but they have little different physical characteristics. Homo habilis have bigger brains‚ less hair‚ and have a flat nose not as flat. They also don’t have a leathery face. Homo habilis began to observe the environment for clues to food. They developed more teamwork and scared away predators. Homo habilis had stone tools called

our own perspective‚ the first thing to do is see all that is similar and decide where that fits in relation to us. I believe there are many reasons to think this is another species. The simple number of things that “don’t make sense” if we view homo floresiensis through a human perspective is the first warning flag‚ even though it isn’t a scientifically provable reason. This specimen breaks many of the “rules” that science has believed‚ such as the smaller brain capable of tool-use and other

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
