Given that the Homo erectus‚ the long-lived early human ancestors to ever walk our planet nearly 1.9 to 200‚000 years ago—were able to hunt‚ gather‚ and use simple tools thus‚ being able to survive in different environments—a rudimentary form of language (protolanguage) helped them to communicate and cooperate in their family groups. This paper agrees with Bickerton’s analysis by drawing factual evidence from BBC’s Documentary "Prehistoric Autopsy-Episode Two: Homo erectus” that is hosted

Because they are believed to have evolved apart from Homo hominids‚ it is not important to cover these species in detail. Homo erectus lived between 300‚000 and 1‚800‚000 years ago‚ and still had portruding jaws and a "keel" effect on the top of the cranium. It‚ like its predecessors‚ had no definable chin‚ and thick brow ridges. However

evolution is the evolutionary process leading up to the appearance of modern humans. While it began with the last common ancestor of all life‚ the topic usually covers only the evolutionary history of primates‚ in particular the genus Homo‚ and the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of hominids (or "great apes"). The study of human evolution involves many scientific disciplines‚ including physical anthropology‚ primatology‚ archaeology‚ linguistics‚ evolutionary psychology‚ embryology

However‚ Homo sapiens developed differently. This can be explained through the domestication of fire and its use in the every day life . Used as a weapon‚ as a heat producer and as a way to cook food‚ fire was essential . We can analyze the use of fire as a foreshadowing of the future‚ as it is the beginning of mankind having control over the surrounding nature. This will later be seen in the Neolithic Revolution‚ as Homo sapiens will later change vegetational patterns

Hominins are individuals that are not apes but didn’t reach the necessary skills to be considered a human either. The very first hominin that moved away from Africa to change and accommodate his new living in different parts of Eurasia was the Homo erectus. The Homo erectus then opened the new doors for the human species to grow and flourish in different parts of the world. Questions A) Who were the Neanderthals? Compare and contrast them with H.sapiens. The Neanderthals

to 1.5 million B.C.‚ there were the Homo habilis. Although still residing in Africa (the East to be specific)‚ this new species had gone through new enhancements. Homo habilis does mean “man of skill”. And skill they did have (for their time of course). They had finally started utilizing what was all around them- stone. Using this stone as tools made

H. erectus and modern humans are much taller than A. afarensis and have flatter faces and much larger brains. Modern humans have a larger brain than H. erectus and an almost flat face beneath

Assignment Three- Explain how human technological and social development fostered the rapid movement of people throughout. With the rise of our newest form of evolution (Homo sapiens)‚ many features of our original designs were enhanced for a greater chance of survival. Though we did not acquire “aesthetically-pleasing decals” like claws‚ we did get something only our species adapted: aptitudes that were far superior to anything on Earth at that time. Around 50‚000 BCE‚ Stone tools began to
