Know the approximate time boundary between prehistory and history and what development it is based on. Archaeologists define prehistory as that portion of human history that extends back some 2.5 million years before the time of written documents and archives. History is the study of human experience through the time of written documents‚ has a much shorter time span. Written records go back to the 5‚000 years ago in western Asia. 1. What percentage of human existence has been in prehistoric

The evolutionary approach suggests that our behaviour is determined through natural selection; therefore it is coded into our genes through how we have adapted. It is a biological approach and states nature over nurture. A criticism of this approach is that it is determinist as it suggests that the way we behave is dictated through natural selection‚ for example in gender roles men being strong hunters and wanting a younger female partner. It ignores other suggestions‚ such as how we are brought

Braden Anderson October 15‚ 2008 Macro-Evolution The theory of macro-evolution is one of the most debated topics in modern day society. Macro-evolution is the changing of one species to another‚ and the Big Bang Theory is tied in with it. Theories such as man evolves from apes and the universe coming from a large explosion‚ called the Big Bang‚ have been debated against creationists who believe in creation from a supernatural being. Evolution‚ I believe‚ is false because it lacks

Regional variation is great enough that cultural traditions become evident. Tools composed of two or more materials that require complicated preparation become common and suggest increasingly complex brains. The tool tradition associated with the Neanderthals in western Europe is called the Mousterian (Klein 1999). All are eventually replaced by the blade industries of the Upper Paleolithic which are associated with modern humans. Encephalization‚ Language and Speech; brain sizes expressed as estimated

The author explained that Dubois had read Darwin’s theory of apes’ evolution‚ but that he did not completely understood what Darwin really meant. Darwin believed that there were linkages between apes and Neanderthals‚ but that in between these two species there needed to be another of the two

Summary: Humans‚ apes and monkeys share a common ancestor. This ancestor lived about 45 million years ago. Many fossils have been found traits of both humans and apes; also comparisons of modern humans and apes support this theory. PRIMATES Primates are a group of mammals that have special characteristics that include: both eyes are located at the front of the head and they provide binocular or three-dimensional vision; also all primates have 5 fingers (four fingers and a thumb). The ancestors

Introduction: As seen in the article‚ Are Humans still Evolving‚ there were many people thinking that we as humans are still evolving. The truth of human traits still evolving derives from the Charles Darwin’s theory. When history passes on a day to day basis the population of the human species changes and the differences in our reproductive systems does play a big role in our evolving traits. Some people think we as a human race have evolved through the Ape Species. Many thousands of years ago
