Darwin Theory Of Evolution Animals And Plants

Albinism is a mutation that contains mutant genes, which lack the ability to generate normal skin pigment. Animals and plants, which contain the albinism gene, are unable to survive and reproduce as much and as well as the animals and plants without the albinism gene. Thus stating, that organisms with a mutant gene, will be unable to survive and reproduce as well as ...

Top Of The Skull Nucl Torus Homo
519 wordsSTATION 1: Fossil 1 displays characteristics of Australopithecus aethiopicus of West Lake Turkana, Kenya. This skull shows the obvious characteristics of a very sharp sagittal crest along the top of the skull, a very wide skull in the cheek area, and an extremely pro gnathic lower skull and jaw area. The cranial capacity also appears to be smaller, suggesting that it is of the earlier hominids. Fossil 2 shows eyebrow ridges and a slight sagittal crest consistent with Homo erectus. The most defin...

Million Years Ago Homo Erectus
837 wordsIn the video series In Search Of Human Origins, Don Johanson the anthropologist who discovered the oldest human fossil "Lucy" leads us from Lucy's origins as one of our earliest ancestors through the stages of evolution to the present time. Johanson considered Lucy to be "the missing link between ape and human." He discovered her in the Great Rift Valley of Africa and explains that the reason anthropologists search for clues to our origins here is because the ancient layers of the earth have bee...

Homo Erectus Homo Habits
613 wordsHomo erectus. Homo erectus (straight walking people) lived in the period from 2 million until 400 thousand years ago. There is a version, that they first appeared in Africa and than gradually spread through the rest of the Ancient World. Eugen Dubois found the first fossils of this specie in the end of XIX century on Java Island (1891 - 1893). In the lower-quarter layers, on the left bank of river Solo (or Bengavan), near Trinil were found a skull, one hip bone and three teeth (picture 1). Since...

Evolution Of Man Ability To Manipulate
1,660 wordsHuman AncestoryThe evolutionary relationships of Australopithecus and Homo are still argued today among top anthropologists. The direct human phylogeny is not certain, and many links to modern man from four million years ago are possible. What is not argued, however, is that the evolution of man was an evolution from the neck up, rather than from the neck down. After our transition from the arboreal region of Africa to the terrestrial area of the savanna, our physiology below the neck, for the m...

1,149 wordsOur Human Evolution Human Evolution Our farthest believed ancestor is believed to be Australopithecus afarensis. This species, which lived between three and four million years ago, is believed to be the first real hominid because it is the oldest, and most primitive of any definite hominid form thus far found. Evidence from fossilized footprints, as well as pelvic and leg bones, which were similar to modern hominids, led scientists to believe that they could walk upright. Its teeth resembled mor...
