Homo sapiens

There is evidence to suggest that Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens had coexisted for approximately 35-40,000 years, (Fagan 2010) from around 60,000 years ago to 25,000 years ago when they finally went extinct (Gibbon 2001). Anthropologists are still uncertain what the cause of their extinction was. This paper will analyze three main theories of Neanderthal extinction. The first theory is the competition theory, which claims that the Homo sapiens and Neanderthals had to compete for resources

A Natural History of the HOMO SAPIEN 160,000 years ago, a new species was born. Today, I am excited to say that I am a part of that species; we all are. In fact, there are approximately 7 billion of us on this planet; Homo sapiens, that is who we are. We evolved in Africa and like many other early humans that were living at this time, we gathered and hunted food. But as time went on, we evolved, as to better suit our forever changing environment. Humans have the capacity to adapt to any given

Homo sapiens, or “consciously thinking human”, evolved 25,000 years ago forming an unprecedented presence in the environment and the efficient exploitation of the environment. Physiological structural advantages aided the Homo sapiens in taking the upper hand over other species. A fundamental difference in the brain structure of the Homo sapiens was a well-developed frontal region where conscious and reflective thought takes place. Intelligence is the sharp edge of survival for these hominids because

Charles Darwin stated that the evolution of man would take not thousands of years but millions of years. In the case of the human species (Homo sapien) evolutionary theory posits that this has been the case. Human evolution begins with the primate lineage which also includes new and old world monkeys, and apes (Phelan, 2015). It is important to note that researchers have determined that the chimpanzee is the humans closest living relative. While, humans and chimpanzees have similar genetic and anatomical

through DNA analysis and extensive research, science reveals the ancestors of mankind and provides solid evidence that all homo sapiens are related— a task once thought impossible. Apply the Transitive Law of mathematics and the result is: “If all organisms in the species are the same, and the group of organisms belonging to Homo sapiens are a species, then all Homo sapiens should be the same.” However, this isn’t the case. War and discrimination still plagues populations worldwide, and it becomes

the ruthlessness of taphonomic process, there are still gaps in the archaeological record. So when it comes to answering the bigger questions of where did Homo sapiens originated and how it becomes very difficult to make proper conclusions. Some of the major issues we have to deal with are the smaller temporal focus and the fact that Homo sapiens have a wide geographic distribution, so there’s a lot of ground to be covered when making conclusions. (Lewin 2004) Often we find

Human species or in scientific terms know as, Homo Sapiens has evolved drastically in the last couple of billion years. Human evolution all started from our great ancestors, the chimpanzees. Human evolution started all in the continent of Africa. Due to global changes, evolution changed over time. Thus leading to the evolution of mankind. But man didn't just evolve from chimpanzees. There were a lot of scientific processes and different events that led up to final evolution of mankind. But what does

Homo Sapiens is existing over 4000 years and in every minute of his life he tried to create conviniences for him. Provided that, nowadays life is much easier that 15 or 25 years ago. Therefore, ordinary person lives longer than before. We cannot judge us for making life more appropriate, it is our nature, but we should remember that our environment needs accurateness and care. Everyday when person gets up, goes to the bathroom, eats his breakfast, he do all that stuff habitually and making comforts

The anatomy of Homo sapiens is unique in several ways and sets us apart from other species all across the world. One of the most distinguishing characteristics that differentiates Homo sapiens from other species is the utilization of bipedal locomotion. Humans have established a unique way of moving from one location to another that is due to the evolution numerous anatomical developments over millions of years. Hominid bipedalism has evolved as a product of natural selection, a theory coined by

Digestive System: Homo Sapiens Focusing on the two man orifices involved with the digestive system of the human body, we are donuts. Inserting food into the mouth to begin the process, which will eventually expel the unusable waste material out of the body at the anus. In the mouth several structures act simultaneously to start digestion and is composed of two portions. The buccal cavity, the space in front of the teeth bounded to the cheek and gums; and the oral cavity proper the space inside the
