people started living in caves. A music ethnographer discovered that the paintings on the wall of a cave were in the most acoustically interesting part of the cave. This part of the cave had the strongest reverberation so it is speculated that early Neanderthals discovered the reverberation as well and experimented with it. This fascination with sound helped women in the workplace‚ aided in the civil rights movement‚ and allowed people to see something for the first time. First‚ in 1857‚ Edouard-Leon

enhance reproductive success‚ but it is also important in avoiding starvation – a further adaptive advantage. This way their reproductive success is still high and they have an alternative way to survive. Kuhn and Stiner (2006) stated that the Neanderthals didn’t survive because they didn’t follow these rules. Both genders hunted and evidence from the skeletons of the females show that they suffered in injuries. This would have affected their rate of reproduction. There was no evidence to show that

It has long been understood that in order for a species to survive there needs to be a certain level of adaptation. It is an integral and well-known concept of the human race and a familiar and widely accepted component in the development of man. Essentially‚ this is what happened when the Paleolithic cultures evolved into the Mesolithic‚ and eventually the Neolithic culture. The concepts of specialization and diversification were relevant in the transformation of these cultures. Specialization

Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation‚ including species‚ individual organisms and molecules such as DNAand proteins.[1]All life on earth is descended from a last universal ancestor that lived approximately 3.8 billion years ago. Repeated speciation and the divergence of life can be inferred from shared sets of biochemical and morphological
