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

million years old‚ which predates the earliest known "Homo" species. There is no known evidence that any "Homo" specimens appeared by 2.5 million years ago. A Homo fossil was found near some Oldowan tools‚ and its age was noted at 2.3 million years old‚ suggesting that maybe the Homo species did indeed create and use these tools. It is surely possible‚ but not solid evidence. Bernard Wood noted that "Paranthropus" coexisted with the early Homo species in the area of the "Oldowan Industrial Complex"

Multi-Regional Continuity: The Fossil Evidence With regards to the multi-regional continuity model of human evolution‚ there is without a doubt a preponderance of fossil data that supports the diverse origins of Homo sapiens in different regions of the globe. Skulls displaying a wide variety of mixed modern and archaic features have been found in every corner of the world. The mere existence of these fossils is evidence enough to prove that human evolution was far less cut-and-dried a process

Surviving in Africa Film Summary Three million years ago in Africa‚ early hominids walked around upright. What we know about them is minimal and teams of archaeologists spend their lives searching for clues that might help us to better understand their ways of life.

In 1974 Don discovered a bipedal skeleton that was about one third

Since it was the transitional species however‚ it may have been limited in its development of language usage.

He also wanted to determine the effects of potential factors on the odds of suicidal thoughts and actions in young homo/bisexuals. Through his studies there were many findings that seem very substantial to every human’s knowledge. His results show that homo/bisexuals are at a greater risk of suicidal actions or feelings because they tend to feel trapped

Homo erectus went extinct 300‚000 years ago‚ then Homo sapiens‚ the first humans‚ developed and were called “Wise Men.” The reason for this name was because of larger brains and higher skulls.
