Compare And Contrast Homo Erectus

You are a young hotshot physical Anthropologist with the discovery of the century. We probably know less about Homo erectus then we did 20 years ago. But your new site and find answer all the questions. Tell me what Homo erectus was like and what data proves your case. How were they like humans and how were they different.

Neanderthals faced harsh climates there were parts of Northern Asia and Europe that had series of Ice ages, because of this man had to step up and create something to keep their body heat. With the creation of tools in order to hunt they found themselves hunting deer, mammoths and bears which provided large, thick and furry coats for them. At first their clothing tended to be simple by making holes in the head and arm area letting them drape all over their bodies. Later on it can be seen that they grew more and more sophisticated by creating strips to wrap their clothing in place sort of like belts.

Neanderthal and anatomically modern Homo Sapiens shared similar behavioral patterns such as created tools, buried dead, used fire, and hunted for meat. Even if both species interact with each other and in spite of shared behavior, evidence justified the differences between both species. Neanderthals buried their dead as a ritual, whereas Modern Homo sapiens represents the decorative and elaborate array of great goods. Both species may have created tools usable to fits their lifestyle, but the functionality of the tools made huge differences. Modern Homo Sapiens tools are elaborated and extensively made for easier hunting,

The Neanderthals seem to have largely disappeared around 25,000 years ago, but the precise explanation for their disappearance remains something of a mystery. A number of different theories have emerged, some mutually exclusive, some not, but all of them draw upon substantial archeological, anthropological, and biological evidence. Researchers have variously proposed that Neanderthals were the victims of genocide at the hands of modern humans, died out due to some kind of plague or epidemic, or went extinct because they could not cope with climatic shifts. While none of these can be conclusively proven or disproven, one can at least begin to assign certain degrees of likelihood to each hypothesis. Upon examining a variety of these theories regarding the extinction of the Neanderthals, it becomes clear that in all likelihood, the Neanderthals disappeared not due to any single cause, but rather from susceptibility to climate change coupled with conflict, disease, and interbreeding.

Conclusion: In conclusion the pelvis of the early hominin of the homo genus would have had wider pelvis’s, shorter legs, smaller iliac plates and non-curved hip bones meaning a lack in locomotion efficiency causes more energy loss when they walk because there is more hip movement to support the unsupported side of the leg, through evolutionary processes such as thermoregulation hominins body started to adapt to the heat of the sun and their pelvis started to grow more narrow with a smaller birth canal furthermore having longer leg ligaments and gluteals, this would help with locomotion efficiency as the hip bone is more curved and acts as a stabiliser for better balance whilst walking causing less energy loss because less hip movement whilst

The Paleo-species of Homo neanderthalensis have been the subject of debate since their discovery in 1829. Even in the early beginnings, the scientific research concerning this early hominin species has been debated, and it was not until 1864 that the first Homo neanderthalensis was recognized as an early hominin fossil (citation). Fortunately, progress has been made into piecing back together the history of Homo neanderthalensis. However, there are still significant questions that remain unanswered; a broad example of one of those questions is what was the contributing factor to their extinction.

The early African Homo Erectus fossils, which are sometimes called Homo egaster, are the oldest known early humans. They are similar to modern humans but taller, stronger, and had a pronounced ridge over their brow Many of their fossil remains have been found in places such as Africa and Asia, which can be dated to be about 1.6 million years old. From fossil findings researchers have revealed that these early humans have possessed modern-human-like body proportions. They have also found that these features are considered adaptations to live on the ground. Fossil remains have also revealed between Homo erectus and that of the Great Apes. One other link to Homo erectus is to that of a major innovation in stone technology. Throughout research and remnants of the Homo erectus scientist were able to discover evidence of the role of culture throughout this group of humans. Throughout our further findings we will look at variations and how it once effected Homo erectus, and the modern human of today. Great discoveries have been made, and with our technological advancement we can better our findings and interpretations of the characteristics and evolution of Homo erectus, so that we can have a better understanding of our evolution.

Human evolution; the length of time when hominids started to develop, as well as creating more sophisticated use of their surroundings. One of the major ideas was when hominids developed their body image. Homo Erectus were very similar to Homo Sapiens considering their physical appearance. Despite the fact that Homo Sapiens and Homo Erectus were two separate species, they contained many of the same characteristics. Homo Erectus’s average weight was 40-68 kilograms. Whereas, Homo Sapiens average weight was about 79 kilograms. Their heights were about identical, Homo erectus were 1.6 - 1.8 meters tall. Homo sapiens were 1.6- 1.7 meters tall. These two hominids had very big noses which is strange because the sense of smell is considered, by many,

Below the neck, Homo erectus were anatomically much like modern humans. Their arm and leg bones were essentially the same as modern people in shape and relative proportions. This strongly supports the view that they were equal to us in their ability to walk and run bipedally. However, their leg bones were apparently denser than ours. This may be partly a result of developmental adjustment differences. Unlike us, these early humans did not spend much of their lives sitting behind desks or on a sofa watching TV. They were probably much more active throughout the day seeking food.

Through the ways of communication and social organization, we can easily differentiate the homo sapiens from the homo erectus, and tell that the homo sapiens are definitely more

One fact that all anthropologists agree on is that H. Erectus evolved in Africa and during interglacial periods migrated to other parts of the world. What anthropologists cannot agree on is when H. Erectus became H. Sapiens. Paleoanthropologists know H. Erectus, H. Sapiens, and Neanderthals or Denisovans co-existed roughly 100,000 years ago during the Ice ages. Some species, not unlike Neanderthals or Denisovans, were able to adapt to the frigid temperatures of the Ice ages while others, not unlike H. Erectus, preferred inhabiting more tolerable temperatures. Yet, one group of hominids is able to tolerate both warm and cold temperatures and this group is known as H. Sapiens. The preferences of each species would explain why H. Erectus is mainly found in Africa (or places of an equivalent latitude), Neanderthals in Europe, Denisovans in North-Eastern Asia, and H. Sapiens in different geographical locations. So far, it has been established that these three different hominids existed together 100,000 years ago but what is commonly debated today is how each hominid species originated and more importantly how H. Sapiens originated.

In tracing the direct ancestors of Homo sapiens sapiens, the five consequent Hominins I would include in the timeline of human evolutions: Australopithecus afarensis and africanus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Archaic Homo sapiens, and Homo Neanderthal. In 3.6 million years ago, Australopithecus afarensis is considered the earliest hominins that are close relative to Homo. Afarensis had slender body built, but relatively larger than modern humans, but with smaller brains, and a prognathic face. In 1975, the discovery of Lucy commonly referred as “first family”, reveals evidence of bipedalism. In 3.3 million years ago, Australopithecus africanus is considered extinct classified species as hominin. Africanus remain

The Neanderthal were also built much differently from Homo Sapien. The Neanderthal were much stronger than the Homo Sapien, but the Homo Sapien were built for long distance running while the Neanderthal who was shorter couldn't run as far. (Humans Vs. Neanderthals: How Did We Win) The Homo Sapiens were much better adapted for hunting in a warmer climate, and Europe was getting warmer. This was yet another advantage that the Homo Sapien had over the

The superfamily includes all apes and humans, the family includes great apes and humans, the subfamily includes chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans, and the tribe includes humans. The gibbons are a part of a family called the Hylobatidae family. Other primates are involved in four taxa, the superfamily, family, subfamily, and tribe. These taxa separate primates by evolutionary traits in each taxa. The superfamily’s taxon is called Hominoidea, the family’s is called Hominidae, the subfamily’s is called Homininae, and the tribe’s is called Hominini. The gibbons are a part of another family called the Hylobatidae family.

Some scholars suggest that the creation story of Adam and Eve was made as a contrast between the Babylonian Creation story since at the time the Israelites were enslaved by the Babylonians. Still there are not only contrasts but similarities between the two stories. One contrast is that God related heaven and earth by himself with no war driving him while in the Babylonian story it was out of the fruits of war with other Gods. Also, God created Heaven and Earth out of nothing while in the Babylonian story the word is crated out of the dead body of another God. Still there are similarities. In both stories light was created before the sun, moon, and stars were created. Also in each story, the order of which things are created is also
