characteristics called homo. So‚ when we refer to hominid evolution‚ we are referring to the gradual process by which we developed as human beings from now extinct primates. The tale begins when‚ along with apes‚ we formed a part of a larger group called the primates‚ which was the earliest order of mammals. Over time‚ for reasons uncertain‚ we diverged from the apes and moved towards becoming what we are today through various‚ now extinct stages like Homo habilis (handy man)‚ Homo erectus(upright

Evolution of human intelligence The evolution of human intelligence refers to a set of theories that attempt to explain how human intelligence has evolved. These theories are closely tied to the evolution of the human brain and to the emergence of human language. The timeline of human evolution spans approximately 7 million years‚[citation needed] from the separation of the Pan genus until the emergence of behavioral modernity by 50‚000 years ago. The first 3 million years of this timeline

These instincts are inherited in our sub consciousness from the early years of Homo* evolution. Even though it seems like we don’t have these particular connections with our ancestors we actually do. We use our instincts sub-consciously in every decision we make in our lives. Ultimately they effect us all the time in many different

To the biologist we are members of a sub-species called Homo sapiens sapiens‚ which represents a division of the species known as Homo sapiens. The most interesting aspect about our species is that we are able to and can walk upright on our hind legs at all times. This is defiantly not the usual way of getting around for a mammal. The view of evolution

They need their main component (the palm) to work correctly. 2. How are people not like severed fingers from a hand? People are not like severed fingers from a hand because they are individuals with their own ideas and personalities; they need a ruler‚ but they don’t necessarily have to be controlled. 3.

force behind most of these evolutionary processes‚ including geographical range change. It dictates which species are where at what time‚ driving their geographical spread or contraction. Dr Stewart continued: "Ultimately‚ this model explains why Homo sapiens as a species are here and the archaic humans are not." The research also leads to interesting conclusions as to how and why Neanderthals‚ and indeed the Denisovans‚ evolved in the first place. "One of the models we’ve formulated is that the adoption

evolution. There are many anatomical features that have continued to change and develop throughout the evolution of man‚ but one seems to have the largest impact‚ increased endocranial capacity. From primates to Australopiths to Hominins and on to Homo sapiens‚ the endocranial capacity has steadily increased (the only outlier is Neanderthal’s‚ they had a larger brain capacity‚ but the species went extinct) from genus to genus. The increased brain capacity is what allows for the development of intricate
