Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mamalia Order: Primates Family: Homildae Genus: Homo Brain Size: Neanderthal people had a brain volume of about 1200 to 1800 cubic centimeters‚ equal to and even larger than modern human brains. Neanderthal skull reconstructions provide further evidence that they were a separate species to modern humans. Distinctive Neanderthal skull features were established in early infancy.

Pan troglodytes‚ Pan Paniscus‚ and Homo sapiens or more commonly referred to as Chimpanzees‚ Bonobos‚ and Humans have unbelievably similar biological traits that one could invoke philosophical reflection of our origin and evolution. Highly intelligent‚ social‚ vocalized‚ animals that share a taxonomic group with Homo sapiens: a tribe. But where do we draw the line? How do we define these primates as different species even at a 98% gene proportion? Are these creatures analogous to each other to the

WHAT MAKES US HUMAN This is a question that is asked and wondered by almost every human in this world. The answers to this popular question are actually pretty obvious. Humans have the ability to walk upright‚ communicate in oral and written forms‚ think and solve problems‚ and they have evolved physically and cognitively. Our intelligence to create tools and technology is another unique trait that separates us from other species‚ also our capability to adapt and change to different types of

OUTLINE: Introduction to Evolutionary Anthropology I- INTRODUCTION Anthropology is a holistic Science with five disciplines: 1- Socio-cultural anthropology: compare the human cultures and societies. 2- Linguistic and semiotic anthropology: focused on how language and other system of human communication contribute to reproduction‚ transmission and transformation of culture. 3- Archaeology: study of the material evidence of human activities in the past. 4- Medical anthropology: focuses on human

Homo erectus came on the scene around 1.5 million years ago. Homo erectus was the first nomads to leave the country of Africa and moved into the continents of Europe and Asia. 250‚000 years ago‚ Homo sapiens which are the modern human beings emerged.

items typically food over large distances. Humans evolved from the groups of “homo” meaning the same. About 2-3 million years ago Homo Habilis adapted from the original Australopithecines with a 50% larger brain. The Homo Habilis chipped flakes off the ends of volcanic rock to be used as tools. Thus‚ they were able to eat a greater variety of nutritious food increasing their mental capacity. About a million years ago the Homo Erectus adapted with a 1/3 larger brain than the Habilis. They were scavengers
