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...

Million Years Ago Homo Erectus
1,251 wordsIn the January/February issue of Archaeology magazine, the article Early Homo erectus Tools in China holds additional, yet questionable information about the foundations of the genus Homo. After recent findings of stone tools and animal bones at Renzidong (Renzi Cave) in Anhui Province, eastern China, Chinese scientists have concluded that Homo erectus may have been established there 400, 000 years earlier than formerly believed, almost 2. 25 million years ago. Besides this site being one of the...

Biological And Cultural Adaptive Radiation Erectus
457 wordsAbout one million years ago, Homo erectus populations began migrating out of East Africa. They soon spread into South and West Africa, Asia and Europe. This adaptive radiation was the result of several biological and cultural factors. H. erectus was physically larger than earlier hominids. This probably allowed them to fun faster and further than their ancestors and could have given them an advantage in hunting and escaping. It may also have increased their food gathering abilities by expanding ...

Homo Erectus Skeletal System
296 wordsMichael Homo Erectus Homo erectus Michael F. Chapman Jr. Homo erectus was a well-adapted species capable of much more complicated day-to-day tasks. Much of this ability was due to their morphological changes. These changes occurred in the skeletal system and the soft tissues and were tied to environmental factors, tool use, increased meat consumption as well as the more nomadic lifestyle. Changes in the skeletal system included a more robust size with a marked increase in size as compared to ear...

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...
