World History Notes: Chapter One Intro In 1849‚ William Loftus founded the ruins of the city of Uruk‚ one of the first cities in the world. Loftus found this ancient city in a part of Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia was one of the first places where civilization began. The First Humans The first civilizations began in Western Asia and Egypt. The way we determine how civilization came about is through science. Archaeologists find many signs of civilization in ancient ruins. No records were contained

as vegetarian is centered on the characteristics of the human body compared to carnivorous animals. It argues that because humans don’t have claws or pointed teeth we shouldn’t eat meat. However‚ I found that the digestive and dental system of homo sapiens serves as an example on omnivorous adjustment because the incisor teeth and canine are good to tear cooked meat into pieces‚ whereas the molars are needed to grind vegetable matter. Furthermore‚ vegetarians argue that carnivorous animals have smaller

| The Speech Capabilities of late Archaic Homo Sapiens Brandi Fowler Ivy Tech Community College December 4‚ 2012 Abstract Although there is no direct evidence and a species language or their language capabilities do not fossilize‚ coupled with more modern techniques being used today and archeological evidence‚ it is possible now to study this topic with more success than in previous years. There is a record that supports the suggestion of Homo neandertal speech capabilities. Previous to

570 million years that the kind of life forms we are familiar with began to evolve‚ starting with arthropods‚ followed by fish 530 million years ago (Ma)‚ land plants 475Ma and forests 385Ma. Mammals didn’t evolve until 200Ma and our own species‚ Homo sapiens‚ only 200‚000 years ago. So humans have been around for a mere 0.004% of the Earth’s history.

What makes these theories the most highly debateable in paleoanthropology is that 30‚000 years ago‚ the taxonomic diversity previously seen amongst homo sapiens‚ homo erectus and homo Neanderthals had vanished and humans everywhere had evolved into the anatomically and behaviourally modern form; there is much deliberation as to how this occurred which rose this differing schools of thought; one that emphasises multiregional

incisors‚ canines‚ premolars‚ and molars (upper +lower jaw) multiplied by 2 would equal to the total number of teeth present in the mammal. The dental formulas for these three species: coyote (Canis latrans)‚ deer (Odocoileus virginanus)‚ and human (Homo sapien) are all different. The coyote had the dental formula of 3-1-4-2/3-1-4-2 (x2)‚ which produced the total of 40 teeth. The deer had the dental formula of 0-0-3-3/3-1-3-3 (x2)‚ which equaled to 32 teeth. The human species had a smaller number of teeth

average fully grown adult Homo sapiens is approximately 1200 to 1600 cubic centimetres and weighing three pounds. In comparison‚ the earliest trace of human ancestors‚ the Australopithecus clan had brains slightly greater than apes‚ around 400 cubic centimetres. Anatomically the Australopithecus were bipedal akin to humans‚ but intellectually akin to primates‚ which suggests that bipedalism preceded the growth of the brain on the timeline of human evolution. The next ancestors‚ Homo habilis had an increased
