" 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

Homo Aquaticus? I. Introduction When the human brain is compared with the brains of apes there are several obvious differences; the centers for the sense of smell and foot control are larger in apes than in humans‚ but the centers for hand control‚ airway control‚ vocalization‚ language and thought are larger in humans. 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

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

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

evolution of Homo habilis‚ whose brain was 50 percent larger than that of the australopithecines. 3. By 1 million years ago‚ Homo habilis and all of the australopithecines were extinct. They were replaced first by Homo erectus (1.7 million years ago) and then by Homo sapiens (400‚000 to 100‚000 years ago). Genetic evidence suggests that further development emerged around 50‚000 years ago providing the capacity for speech. C. Migrations from Africa 1. Both Homo erectus and Homo sapiens migrated

Homosexuals should have the same equality rights to marriage as heterosexuals. When it comes to equality‚ the bible states that all men are created equal. The constitution states that all men are created equal. Homosexual or heterosexual we are all equal. As polls have shown‚ more and more Americans are favoring marriage equality (Kludt).

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 remains were discovered in the year of 1856 in Germany. This discovery of a skullcap and partial skeleton

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
