Oldest hominid

This is going to be a paper on the genus Hominins. Hominins are early human ancestors the first being Sahelanthropus Tchadensis and ends with Homo Sapiens. A specie is a group of similar animals, or plants and in our case homo, paranthropus and australopithecus that can interbreed between each other and have a direct connection in lineage.A genus is a grouping of alike and related species that all share in many traits. It is an overview of species that are different enough to be put in one group

world first began, the climate was unstable and devoid of the atmosphere that we know of today. It was not until bacteria were able to fix nitrogen did the Earth begin to develop its nitrogen and eventually nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere allowing modern hominids to advance. Earth was cooler after the chaotic activity of its early days subsided, experiencing multiple Ice Ages and periods of severe warming. The last major Ice Age occurred around one-hundred thousand years ago, and profoundly impacted life

Defending Slavery The purpose of this paper is to discuss the issue of African slavery in America in the antebellum by late eighteenth century and before the antebellum crisis as discussed in Paul Finkelman’s book: Defending Slavery. This paper will summarize the first part of book taking as a main topic racial aspects of the slavery. After the introductory summary , this paper will focus in two specific sections found in the second part of the book: “Religion and Slavery” and “Racial

Will the Earliest Hominid Please Stand Up? Evolution Exposed Evolution and religion has been a disputable discussion over the decades. Religious believers simply discarded the idea that humans have came from swinging monkeys. Although it is a scientific theory, it is backed up by the heavy weight of scientific evidence. The first thing that one might consider is that religion is composed by thousands of individual memes, which supports myths, moralities, and complex ideas or memeplexes, which

Afarensis, apes, and we as humans. Fossil evidence such as that of “Lucy”, the most significant of an A. Afarensis discovered by paleoanthropologists will be scrutinized. Australopithecus Afarensis, is the name applied to an extinct family of hominids (Primates) to have lived some 2.9-3.9 million years ago. “Lucy” an A. Afarensis fossil is considered one of the best examples of this species which are believed to have survived for some 900,000 plus years which is roughly 4 four times the duration

called Strait of Komodo. What does all this mean? Something quite obvious: that the makers of these stone tools had no other way to arrive in Flores but by sea. That supposes something quite unusual and unexpected. Up to 1988 it was believed that the oldest proofs of navigation were 60,000 years old (60 kyr.) 7 and corresponded to the first crossing of the northern Australia by members of our species, Homo sapiens, who arrived in the area by sea. Nowadays the space which separates Flores from Java is

Africa before the Transatlantic Slave Trade Racist views of Africa In the last 50 years much has been done to combat the entirely false and negative views about the history of Africa and Africans, which were developed in Europe in order to justify the Transatlantic Slave Trade and European colonial rule in Africa that followed it. In the eighteenth century such racist views were summed up by the words of the Scottish philosopher David Hume, who said, ‘I am apt to suspect the Negroes to

Ever since the oldest human remains were discovered in Africa, the ‘Cradle of Mankind’, it was establish that Africa was the birthplace of human species. Despite the source of human existence Africa has been plagued with conflicts and problems that was often rooted in European colonization. Due to the sheer mass of Africa many of its countries are categorized as underdeveloped, insubstantial governance, and poor human progression which negatively affects continental growth and poverty reduction.

The chapter 1 called "Up To The Starting Line" gives a brief report on the topic of evolution of the first human ancestors. The earliest stages of human evolution took place in Africa with abundant of fossil evidence to prove. We all originated in Africa around 7 million years age. Our closet common ancestor living are called the surviving species of the great apes that are chimpanzee, bonobo, and gorilla. But the most closets animal to humans are chimpanzee. The homo erectus was significantly close

vast eons between the ages of the distant past. It may seem as though an eternity has passed between now and 1945 for the centenarian, but even the oldest amongst us would see the time between the foundation of the greek and egyptian civilizations as having a length much less than the 2500 years that separate the two. Two varieties of ancient hominids may seem to be virtually contemporaries, when they are in actuality over a million years of evolution removed from one another. Humans have many methods
