According to Darwinism‚ the species that had the most traits in common with the Homo sapien must be the most related while species with the least traits in common with the Homo sapien were the least similar. For example‚ the Homo neanderthalensis had a total of fourteen traits in common with the Homo sapien while the Gorilla gorilla only

Multi-Regional Continuity: The Fossil Evidence With regards to the multi-regional continuity model of human evolution‚ there is without a doubt a preponderance of fossil data that supports the diverse origins of Homo sapiens in different regions of the globe. Skulls displaying a wide variety of mixed modern and archaic features have been found in every corner of the world. The mere existence of these fossils is evidence enough to prove that human evolution was far less cut-and-dried a process

Surviving in Africa Film Summary Three million years ago in Africa‚ early hominids walked around upright. What we know about them is minimal and teams of archaeologists spend their lives searching for clues that might help us to better understand their ways of life. Don Johanson‚ a well-known archaeologist‚ and his team spent many years in Africa in the early 70s searching for remains left behind by our early ancestors. In 1974 Don discovered a bipedal skeleton that was about one third

This should be an adaptive strategy for the expanded and energetically costly brains.The right-handedness shared by both Homo sapiens and neanderthalensis might be a result of the changing in the sensory regions of the forebrain. Nevertheless‚ it is still not clear whether homo habilis and homo erectus had the same feature. The origin of the human-specific facial expressions is yet in mystery due to the lack of fossil

Did humans actually evolve from monkeys? This is a common evolutionary myth that many people still believe in today. The real answer is “kind of.” Long ago when our planet Earth was still young‚ there lived an early humanoid species that similarly represented how monkeys and humans looked like. Eventually‚ the Earth’s environment transformed and climates changed accordingly. The early humanoid species changed and transformed in parallel with the Earth’s transformation. Some say this is the adaptation
