HOMO SUBURBIENSIS Bruce Dawes “Homo Suburbiensis” epitomises a world of contradiction where nature is fighting against the unnatural suburbia that man has created. Dawe presents everything that man had to offer in a world of variables and shows that although man has lost traditional roots and beginnings connecting to the land‚ there has been no change and control over the constant values that man has held throughout time. In this poem there is a strong sense of honesty and sombre in the tone

Life History in North African Early Homo sapiens" by Tanya M. Smith et al. discussed the increasing evidence of sophisticated material culture‚ new fossil material‚ and refined dating techniques‚ paleoanthropologists have renewed investigations of modern human origins in Africa‚ in particular the question of when early Homo sapiens became fully modern (Smith‚ M.

“Home Floresiensis - The Hobbit” Homo floresiensis (“Man of Flores”) is the name for a possible new species in the genus Homo‚ remarkable for its small body‚ small brain‚ and survival until relatively recent times (www.en.wikipedia.org). Anthropologists Peter Brown of University of New England in South Wales‚ Australia‚ Michael Morwood and their colleagues have argued that a variety of features‚ both primitive and derived‚ identified LB1 (the first skeleton found in cave of Liang Bua) is

Homo Neanderthalensis Were Neanderthals a distinct species of the Homo Genus‚ or were they a sub-species of the Homo Sapien? Are modern day humans a product of selective breeding or are they distinctive in DNA to just Homo Sapiens or Neanderthals? To figure this out we will go back to an approximate timeline of over 200‚000 years ago in the Pleistocene Epoch‚ where this fossil‚ and possibly kin‚ resided and thrived. As we know and have all come to understand through media interpretation and display

Homo erectus (literally "upright man") is an extinct hominin that lived between 1.8 million and 50‚000 years ago. The first fossil found of this species (the type specimen) was a skullcap discovered in 1891 by Eugène Dubois. However‚ the species was not named until 1894‚ after a femur (thigh bone) was discovered not far from the skullcap. The femur was nearly identical to that of a modern human‚ prompting Dubois to name a new species: Pithecanthropus erectus (literally "upright apeman"). Both fossils

03/02/2012 Homo erectus & Pyro technology The Homo erectus lineage consisted of the first human beings that controlled fire‚ or pyro technology‚ to sustain life. In this case fire was their lifeline‚ and without it there may not have been the continuation of human life as we know it. Physical evidence of fire making preserved at early sites of Homo erectus caves proved they were able to contain and control the flames. Origins of fire making are speculated from many hypotheses of archaeologists

whether Homo Sapiens are the decedents of Neanderthals or whether they are cousins with a common ancestor. If Neanderthals are considered to be a proper descendent to Homo Sapiens‚ then they can be rightfully classified as Homo Sapiens Neanderthal. If they are truly a separate species‚ then they should be classified as Homo Neanderthal. The theory that Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens are cousins focuses on the time period when both existed and the geographic locations of both groups. Homo Sapiens lived

Upon initial discovery of the skeletons at Liang Bau cave on the island of Flores in Indonesia in 2003‚ these enigmatic skeletons were appropriately dubbed ‚”Hobbits” by Australian and Indonesian researchers because of their small stature and curious bone structure. The location of the skeletons themselves is interesting because of the remoteness of the island from
