Ausralopithecus boisei roamed the earth as early as 1.1 million years ago and was on earth at the sametime as homo habilis and homo erectus. Most of the australopithecus fossils that have been discovered have been found in eastern africa and have been dated between 4.5 million and 1.1 million years old. There has also been evidence that the australopithecus "man" lived

Between 10‚000 B.C‚ the development of human kind underwent many significant changes that eventually transformed the modern world. Homo sapiens transitioned from the Paleolithic age to the Neolithic era and had a significant impact on the development of civilizations. Their changes had political‚ social‚ and economic effects on the development of humankind. They were thinkers‚ they though of solutions for the many problems that they encountered. Experience taught Stone Age people the difference between

Neanderthals‚ also known as archaic homo sapiens‚ that inhabited Europe‚ Africa‚and Asia 300‚000 years ago. Controversies have surrounded on whether they were considered modern human when their fossils were first discovered in Neander Valley‚ Germany in 1856. At first‚ Neanderthals were considered inferior to Homo sapiens. However‚ after years and discoveries later‚ scientists and paleontologists have found they are very much like modern human‚ but with different physical appearances. When comparing

Miles Elam Becoming a Human Part 1 In this short film‚ the main focuses are on why and how we became human over millions of years. The Afar in North Eastern Ethiopia‚ part of The Great Rift Valley‚ is the location of the first steps in discovering the answers. Archeologist‚ Zeresenay Alemseged had made a remarkable discovery. He found a cheek bone of a small face that more than likely was from a baby embedded into sandstone. It was found on top of volcanic ash that was dated to be about 3

The curiosity humans have in our origin and worth has led to a remarkable search for answers to big questions about history starting from the very beginning. Big history cosmology looks to answer some of the biggest questions humans have about the universe. In this paper‚ big history will be explored through the formation of the current U.S. one cent coin or more commonly referred to as a penny. The big bang theory is a scientific origin story‚ based on real evidence which explores history in thresholds

the gene is. It was determined that the species‚ Danio rerio‚ Xenopus tropicalis‚ Mus musculus‚ Rattus norvegicus‚ and Homo sapiens all shared similar functions for this gene. Thus the assumption was made that L. cuprina had to have a similar if not exactly the same as the closest species to it. Reading the tree‚ that species would have to be Mus musculus‚ Rattus norvegicus‚ and Homo sapiens. Discussion The main discovery of all of this research is that the function of the msl-1 gene is acetylation

Abstract Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to investigate the structural properties‚ dipole moments‚ polarizabilities‚ Gibbs energies‚ hardness‚ electronegativity‚ HOMO/LUMO energies‚ chemical potentials‚ density of states and detonation properties of trans and cis configurations of azocubane. All properties have been obtained using the B3LYP functional and 6-31G(d‚p) basis set. Also‚ IR‚ UV-Vis‚ CD and NMR spectra of the structures were simulated. The volumes of the structures

found. The discovery of Hobbits most certainly affects our understanding of human evolution. After realizing that these Homo floresiensis (Hobbits) did not come from Africa it is clear that human evolution did not just occur in Africa; that this occurred in several other places or at least they had migrated from Africa. After doing so they evolved into what we know today as Homo floresiensis or “Hobbits.” If the Hobbits were a separate species and roamed Southeast Asia at the same time as humans
