Oldest hominid

Shanaya Sidhu SQ3R Questions Chapter 1 Analyze the first humans. One of the first humans, or hominids, was discovered to be living in the eastern and southern regions of Africa approximately three to four million years ago. They were named the Australopithecines, which means “southern ape-men.” These bipedal hominids developed basic stone tools. Another kind of hominid known as the Homo habilis, or “handy humans,” was discovered in Africa by Louis and Mary Leakey in 1959. The Homo habilis had a

All other human populations were eventually replaced with no interbreeding involved in the process and Homo sapiens had successfully dominated the rest of the world. On the other hand, the second theory, regional continuity, says that our earliest hominid ancestors had departed Africa and spread into other parts of the world later evolving into modern human beings. In this paper I will discuss the Regional continuity theory and elaborating on the Out of Africa theory. Evidence based on fossils, artifacts

“Lucy” was unearthed on November 30, 1974 by Donald Johanson and Maurice Taieb near Hadar, Ethiopia. It was named after the song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” sang by the Beatles. Her age is staggeringly dated to be 3.18 million years old; one of the oldest remains found. One of the reasons for the upholding this was because she has the most excavated “intact” skeletal remains, or so it seems, with approximately 40 percent. Some of the bones includes: the jaw bone, hip bone, mostly rib fragments, pieces

Banish me from Eden when you will; But first let me eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge! -- Robert Ingersoll41 There are four ways in which humans differ from apes:: 1. They have souls, 2. Their bodies are mostly free of hair, 3. Women suffer birth pangs, and 4. They speak. Each of these changes is discussed in Genesis. The soul was provided by God near the end of the Sixth Day. Upon their expulsion from Eden, Adam was to “eat bread

i. Evolution refers to change over time due to natural selection as organisms adapt and diverge to produce multiple descendant species (Huxley L., Walter M., 2005, p. 698). Two pillars which form the basis of all current knowledge of evolution originate from the historical record of evolutionary change, fossil record and the study of the process of evolutionary change, specifically the effect of natural selection. Recent developments in science, including molecular and developmental biology, have

“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.” -Haile Selassie The name "Ethiopia" derives from the Greek word ethio, meaning "burned" and pia, meaning "face": the land of burned-faced peoples or in some points also means “something divided”. Ethiopia also known as (Abyssinia) is the tenth largest country

Carlisle Microbiology Biol 2230 S05 28 November 2015 Tuberculosis the ancient bacteria Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest recorded human diseases known to man, and is still the deadliest killers among bacterial infections (Smith). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), TB is believed to have killed more people worldwide than all the wars and famines combined. TB once viewed as a death sentence in the past, is now a preventable and treatable

There are many scientific fields of study, or branches of science. Science itself is knowledge about a topic. There are physics science (interactions of physical science and natural), astronomy and space science, math science, chemistry science, medicine science, and measurements and weight science. Natural science, also known as scientific method is a more disciplined way of studying the world. This is also known as social science. Fields of study under natural and/or social science are physics
