researched various skulls and matched them with the data we have‚ therefore leaving us with eight indentified skulls. This report will thoroughly discuss what we believe each skull is and why we think so. Firstly‚ we believe skull number one is Homo habilis. H. habilis is about 2.4 to 1.5 million years old. This skull has a small supraorbital brow ridge and no sagittal crest. The nasal bones were flat and the facial prognathism is in between. The canines do not jut and a canine diastema is not

Part I: Primate Adaptations 1. a) The primates have develop their sense of touch. They developed fingernails on their fingers and toes instead of claws. b) They developed this trait to have better manipulation while holding and gripping things‚ like trees and branches. They can also feel better with the tip of their fingers. This trait helped them in survival. It led to better mouvements in trees‚ as well as holding food and their babies. c) As for long-term adaptive advantages‚ the sense

TOPIC: The physical characteristics of the Australopithecus hominid. The first Australopithecus hominid (later named Australopithecus africanus) was discovered in by an anatomy professor in Johannesburg‚ South Africa named Raymond Dart in 1924. Prof. Dart initially discovered a five year old skull and it was unlike that of an ape’s he had ever seen. According to!!!!!!!!!‚ Studying the skull‚ he made the following discoveries: -The skull had “ape-like” features -had a projecting face -small brain

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

Yet‚ when compared to the chimpanzee tibia‚ they are significantly different‚ displaying definite change from chimpanzee towards Homo sapien (Barak). The length of the tibia was 17.5 centimeters long‚ making the approximate height to be two feet and 2 inches tall; not full grown while not being a young child. The growth plate between the epiphysis and the metaphysis was slightly larger

Though technically defined as an archaeologist‚ Mary chose to follow a route of interesting research relating to physical anthropology. She is known mostly for the excavation of a two million-year-old fossilized human skull in 1959. She has also worked to help the world understand that the evolution of humans follows a principle rather than a theory. The name Leakey is synonymous in most people’s minds with the successive dramatic discoveries of fossilized hominid bones and stone artifacts that

The search for the origins of humanity will be a story of bones and the tales they tell.

Some species adapted to the changing world‚ while others went extinct. Today only a single species
