What Is Cro-Magnon 1?
The Cro-Magnon 1 is one of the first fossil to be classified as a Homo sapiens or a modern day human. It was discovered by Louis Lartet at a cave in Cro-Magnon, France 1868 with other skeletons. With the four other skeletons, Cro-Magnon 1 represents a middle age man and scientists were able to conclude that he died before he was 50 years old and the skull would be 100% complete if the teeth wasn’t missing. Through examinations they found out that Cro-Magnon 1 had a fungal infection which could lead to dents on the skull. Other scientist also examined the other skeletons and found out that most of them have a neck or head injury and scientists predicted they relied on group support in order for them to heal. The cave that they housed had decorations

    The tooth formula is a shorthand technique that biologist use to keep track of the teeth on a particular jaw. The formula consisted of two lines, top jaw and bottom jaw, which were used to count how many incisors, canines, premolars, and molar teeth a species had. Species A, Odocoileus virginiaus (white-tailed deer), had a tooth formula of 0033/3133. On the top jaw, the deer had zero incisor and canine teeth but have three of both the premolars and molars. On the bottom jaw, the deer had three incisors, one canine, three premolars, and three molars. Species B, Canis latrans (coyote), had a tooth formula of 3142/3143. On the top jaw, the coyote had three incisors, one canine, four premolars, and two molars. On the bottom jaw, the coyote has three incisors, one canine, four premolars, and three molars. Both the deer and coyote skull were long and skinny towards the nose and mouth. The coyote skull had a much rounder nose than the deer. Species C, Homo sapiens (human), had a tooth formula of 2122/2122. On both the top and bottom jaws, there were two incisors, one canine, two premolars, and two molars. In comparison to the deer and coyote skull, the human was an outcast. The human skull was a short distance from the back of the skull to the front. The human skull was very different in bone structure and longer in height than the deer and coyote skulls.…

    Dry Bones

    The body found behind the old cathedral in Spain is an adult male. That is because a body with a sub pubic angle of less than 90 degrees is a male. This person is an adult because the sutures of his skull have completely fused. This person also had scoliosis because that is what having a lateral curvature to your upper thoracic vertebrae indicates along with having a very small scapular spine on the left side and a very large scapular spine on the right side. The large hole in the frontal bone indicates some sort of brute force to the skull which may have been the cause of this person’s death. This person also had missing teeth which was indicated by the alveolar sockets missing from the maxilla and mandible.…

    1.2.3 Bone Detectives

    Specialists called forensic anthropologists are trained to analyze the secrets locked in a bone’s shape and structure and can use this information to help solve crimes, trace human origins, or identify those who have gone missing. In this project, you will assume the role of a forensic anthropologist and complete a detailed examination of skeletal remains. Forensic anthropologists use a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures to predict traits from bone. Through a series of metric measurements and direct observation, you will gather clues about the identity of the remains that have just been unearthed in a local park.…

    In 2010, Svante Pääbo and his colleagues presented a draft version of the genome from a small fragment of a human finger bone discovered in Denisova Cave in southern Siberia. The DNA sequences showed that this individual came from a previously unknown group of extinct humans that have become known as Denisovans. Together with their sister group the Neandertals, Denisovans are the closest extinct relatives of currently living humans.…

    Furthermore, due to the nature of the case and the extensive heat alteration that occurred to the bones, recognition of the bones as human or non-human became hard to discern. However, by employing certain osteological methods anthropologist could characterize the highly fragmented remains. One such method frequently utilized by the forensic team was determining the maturity and architecture of the bones, as well as the analysis of the cranium, which is very distinct from any non-human (Byers, 2011). Similarly, the presence of projecting saber like teeth,…

The procedure, which is called a craniotomy in medical terminology, involves the removal of a piece of bone from the skull, and it has been performed since prehistoric times. The oldest skull, found at a neolithic burial site of Ensisheim in France, is more than 7,000 years old. crainiotomies were practiced by the Ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Indians, Romans, Greeks and the early Mesoamerican civilizations. The procedure is still performed today, for both medical and non-medical reasons. Fast forward to today; thanks to Hollywood, cosmetic plastic surgery is becoming as…

    Dental Implants Essay

    Since time immemorial, humans have used dental implants in one form or other to replace missing teeth. The first evidence of dental implants is attributed to the Mayan population roughly around 600 AD where they succeeded in utilizing pieces of shells as implants as a replacement for mandibular teeth. Radiographs taken in the 1970’s of Mayan mandibles show compact bone formation around the implants. Moreover, around 800 AD, a stone implant was first prepared and placed in the mandible in the early Honduran culture.13…

    Lucy The Beginnings Of Humankind Summary

    In the book “Lucy: the beginnings of Humankind” by Donald Johanson the author himself writes his journey of how his friend Tom Gray and himself experienced the most surprising encounter with the oldest fossil of a hominid that they later called Lucy. Donald Johanson and Tom Gray are pale anthropologists and are very well known for their discovery of Lucy. At the beginning of the book the author writes in the first person illustrating how rare it is to find fossils, many who study in this field sometimes have no luck in finding such extraordinary old fossils. Johanson feels “lucky” to have been able to find such fossils that many have been trying to find without any luck. When Johanson and Gray were at a camp in the Afar desert, they went exploring for sediments, fossils, traces that would lead them to a new discovery. They realized that many of the fossils that they were finding on their way had already been found, but luckily before they were about to leave back to the camp Johanson found part of a hominid arm. At first Gray did not wanted to believe Johanson, but then they began to form the puzzle of what it was a hominid.…

    Age Estimation Theory

    When aging a juvenile skeleton, there are many methods that can be used such as the length of long bones or dental eruption (Garvin et al, 2012). These can be used with a certain degree of reliability, in particular the development of the dentition is reported to be the least effected by environmental factors, and therefore considered the most preferable method of age determination for a juvenile skeleton (Scheur and Black, 2000). Markers of adulthood include the full fusion of the…

    The Crucible Review

    In Arthur Miller's, The Crucible, not much was received, except for the revenge of a heart broken girl. I didn't find this play intriguing like most plays I have read before. If you want to watch a girl throw a tantrum over a guy and get rid of her rivals, then I recommend watching Mean Girls or befriend a high school queen bee, instead of reading The Crucible. Not much is offered to you other than blame and the act of revenge, which was lacked as well. In fact, the witch hysteria played a minor role and very little action were taking place.…
