theories that scientists have come up with over the years to explain the theory of evolution were the multiregional theory and out of Africa theory. The multiregional theory expresses the idea that Homo erectus developed in different parts of the world. The out of Africa theory expresses that Homo erectus developed in Africa nearly two million-years-ago and as the temperatures changed‚ they moved throughout the world and developed differently. “The multiregional view posits that genes from all human

Human Evolution Human Evolution‚ the biological and cultural development of the species Homo sapiens‚ or human beings. A large number of fossil bones and teeth have been found at various places throughout Africa‚ Europe‚ and Asia. Tools of stone‚ bone‚ and wood‚ as well as fire hearths‚ campsites‚ and burials‚ also have been discovered and excavated. As a result of these discoveries‚ a picture of human evolution during the past 4 to 5 million years has emerged. Human Physical Traits Humans are

Homo erectus went extinct 300‚000 years ago‚ then Homo sapiens‚ the first humans‚ developed and were called “Wise Men.” The reason for this name was because of larger brains and higher skulls.

evolution is the evolutionary process leading up to the appearance of modern humans. While it began with the last common ancestor of all life‚ the topic usually covers only the evolutionary history of primates‚ in particular the genus Homo‚ and the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of hominids (or "great apes").

About 2-3 million years ago Homo Habilis adapted from the original Australopithecines with a 50% larger brain. The Homo Habilis chipped flakes off the ends of volcanic rock to be used as tools. Thus‚ they were able to eat a greater variety of nutritious food increasing their mental capacity. About a million years ago the Homo Erectus adapted with a 1/3 larger brain than the Habilis. They were scavengers

first theory might be more credible‚ both theories to this day are still being debated over the study of human origins due to new research being found over the years. To begin‚ the Multi-regional theory is how Homo erectus left Africa (the Old World) about 2 million years ago to become Homo sapiens in all different parts of the world. In the reading‚ “The Multiregional Evolution of Humans”‚ authors Thorne and Wolpoff analyze how this representative would ever come to reason with some solutions to

Anth 368 Midterm 1.What roles do plate tectonics play in the geomorphology of Pacific Islands? The earth’s crust is made out of plate tectonics. Each plate has a defined boundary and direction it moves. The plates in Earth’s crust perform two actions; they submerge under each other or they spread out. The Pacific Plate is the largest plate and it borders around many plates. The Pacific Plate moves northwest. New crust is formed from magma outpours‚ which are a result of the zones spreading.

THE WORLD That’s a rather vague question. The earliest true humans were Homo erectus. These early humans only used stones to begin with. Their earliest technology was called Oldowan and involved breaking smooth‚ rounded pebbles from rivers in rather a crude fashion to get a sharp edge to cut with. Later they developed a more sophisticated technique‚ creating a large‚ hand-held item shaped rather like a teardrop. It had two sharp sides coming to a point and one dull‚ rounded side which the
