Begun in the Journal of Human Evolution‚ begun compares pedal phalangeal (toe) and manual phalangeal (fingers) curvature of various species including homo sapiens. The research exhibits a noticeable line correlation between homo sapiens who have the least amount of curvature of both manual and pedal phalangeal to genus Pongo ancestors of Orangutan with the highest degree. The experiment is conducted using a one-way ANOVA (analysis of variance)

first evolved in Africa and then migrated out to Asia and Europe‚ displacing the archaic Homo sapiens already habituated there. In contrast‚ the Multiregional Continuity hypothesis explains that evolution of modern humans occurred regionally and without replacement‚ meaning that each continent’s archaic H. sapiens gave rise to their own modern H. sapiens individually. There have been several discoveries of early homo. These discoveries begin with an individual found in the Kabwe lead mine in Zambia.

advanced. They called it Homo habilis (handy human) because it appeared to be the first human to use tools. The designation of these two new groups raised a great deal of controversy. Zinjanthropus has since been put by most scientists into the Australopithecine genus‚ which the South African finds also belong to‚ though in different species. Homo habilis is now widely accepted‚ dating back about 2 million years. The 1972 discovery by the Leakeys’ son Richard of another Homo habilis (often called Turkana

addition‚ to looking at unique adaptations that developed in hominin species due to the change. Climate change is an important topic to analyze the impacts that it had on the past as well as in the future for human adaptation. I am also intrigued if Homo sapiens would continue to thrive as our society continues to destroy and reshape our environment. Or will another species emerge that is better

The video Dawn of Humanity is an interesting lesson about trying to bridge that gap between the Australopiths and homo genus. They briefly talk about previous finds such as Lucy and the different characteristics of Australopiths and homos. We watch how Professor Lee Berger worked with a group of scientist and climbers to explore a cave system that held thousands of bone fragments. Two cave climbers Steve and Rick were the ones who originally found the bones and took photos of them to show their friend

THE WORLD That’s a rather vague question. The earliest true humans were Homo erectus. These early humans only used stones to begin with. Their earliest technology was called Oldowan and involved breaking smooth‚ rounded pebbles from rivers in rather a crude fashion to get a sharp edge to cut with. Later they developed a more sophisticated technique‚ creating a large‚ hand-held item shaped rather like a teardrop. It had two sharp sides coming to a point and one dull‚ rounded side which the

The Neanderthals are an extinct species in the homo genus. They lived during the Pleistocene age. The Neanderthals are believed to have lived in most of Eurasia from 120‚000 years ago to about 30‚000 years ago. They were a more advanced pre-modern variation of the homo genus. The reason they are viewed as more advanced than other Pre-modern hominids is because they made tools‚ buried their dead they also lived to around forty years of age. This is quite long compared to their contemporaries. Their

Introduction Multiculturalism‚ and the position of the Islam specifically‚ has been subject to numerous debates in Europe. In the Netherlands‚ aversion to Islamic communities has been observed‚ where politicians like Geert Wilders received substantial support for their campaigning for measures against these communities. The impact of greater cultural diversity on gay rights is significantly present in this discussion. Moreover‚ a shift in the position of the gay community and gay rights in politics
