Oldest hominid

In this research paper we will be discussing the Omo site in Ethiopia, Africa. Some key points that will be discussed will be its original discovery in 1967, it’s addition research that was completed in 2005, Omo I and II’s updated age (McDougall et al., 2005), and the scientific importance of the discoveries from this site and what it means for idea of the first appearance of the modern human (Fleagle et al., 2008). In 1967 in the Lower Omo Valley near Kibish, Ethiopia along the Omo river, a team

Johanson’s fossils through potassium argon dating was found to be at least 3-million-years-old proving the integrity of Johanson’s find. Similar archeological finds also validate Lucy. The 1976 Laetoli footprints support the theory that there were hominids walking upright during the time of Lucy. In 1924, Raymond discovered the Tuang child in South Africa, it displays similar qualities of Lucy, small brain and bipedal abilities. Additional finds by Robert Broom, Richard Leakey, and many other creditable

In the beginning humans didn't look like what they look like now nor act like we do now, Hominids or humans have been around for 3.7 million years. A lot can change in 3.7 million years humans went from creating fire for warmth for just one night to having heaters to heat up the whole house, car, or skyscraper during the winter months. The oldest human being we have found her name was Lucy, she lived around 3.7 million years ago. She was discovered in 1974 in Ethiopia by a man named Donald

In this article “A New Kind of Ancestor: Ardipithecus Unveiled”, Ann Gibbon explains the discovery of an international Scientific’s team. This finding is the oldest known human ancestor skeleton and it has 4.4 million years. The Ardipithecus ramidus is the most complete earliest hominin found until now because it has the pelvis, hands, feets and most of the skull and teeth, it is bipedal and its features show a new early hominin, but is still being similar to other species. Scientifics have been

Vanessa Agudo Anth 101 April 14, 2016 Research draft #1 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

Asian archaeology has distinct variety of hominid and hominoid from the Pleistocene, unusual subsistence adaptations from the Holocene, and simple complex polities. Carl Sauer, an American geographer, was one of the first scholars to note Asia as a source for the genesis of agriculture: some of the earliest domesticated plants were found in Asia. The earliest pottery also appeared more than 12,000 years ago Jomon huntergatherers in Japan . Yet Asia’s uniqueness does not make it incomparable to developments

Where did humans originate? The only surviving species in the genus named Homo are the human beings, indeed human are living species in the whole hominid family and the closest living relatives of human being are the chimpanzees. These are mot hominids, however they belongs to alternative family, named as pongids or great apes. One of the last mutual ancestor of human beings and chimpanzees perhaps lived about 5 million years ago. One of the unique creature on the planet earth are humans although
