Genetics is an intellectual interest of mine. I was first attracted to genetics by a documentary about Neanderthals. Although the documentary itself wasn’t on genetics‚ it mentioned how some humans have a percentage of Neanderthal genes in them. I found this incredibly interesting that our genes could be traced back in history. I was further interesting about genetics was that one could have genetic mutations. This led me to wonder if maybe there are people in the world with genetic mutations that

Introduction to Hominid Evolution Hominid evolution is the theory of the origins of the human species (Homo sapiens). Current understanding of human origins is obtained largely from the findings of paleontology‚ anthropology‚ and genetics. Of all primates‚ humans share particularly close affinity to other members of a group known as hominoids‚ or apes. Humans and their immediate ancestors‚ known as hominids‚ are notable among hominoids for their bipedal locomotion (Using two legs for walking)

bipedal such as the Neanderthals‚ but we outlived their species despite our smaller physique and brain size. With the brain‚ it is not the size that matters‚ but the functionality. With a more intricate and compact brain we could outsmart the Neanderthals‚ despite their larger bone structure an overall strength. What the Neanderthals could not do was survive due to environmental changes like Homo sapien sapiens. We have many theories as to why homo sapiens survived and the Neanderthals did not‚ but

There have been so many things discussed throughout these couple of months‚ everything from fossils‚ to Neanderthals‚ to evolution. From the beginning of evolution‚ our very start‚ our closest relative a chimpanzee‚ and modern man. We have gone through this journey and I have witnessed what the past looked like and made me appreciate my present. There are some incredibly specific items that need to be present in order for fossils to be procured‚ and they are only found in water‚ caves‚ or volcanoes

Also‚ we as a society cannot achieve better if we work alone compare to working together. Such as‚ neanderthal and how they weren’t able to survive compared to us (homosapien). Neanderthal is a specie that works alone and are powerful. However‚ they dislike working together as a whole. They have so much potential to be the strongest specie on this world‚ but the one reason that brought them to

Humanities 101 October 16‚ 2009 Civilized‚ Primitive‚ and the Perceptual Lens To say that any culture‚ region‚ or country is civilized or primitive is purely subjective to the person stating the opinion.
