overheard‚ though no specific words were identifiable. Homo Neanderthalensis Neanderthals developed in Europe and Asia perhaps 300‚000 years ago‚ and existed until 28‚000 years ago. They were stocky like their ancestors‚ and shared with Homo erectus certain skull features like a prominent brow‚ receding chin‚ sloping skull and large nose‚ which helped them warm‚ and breathe frigid air. Early anthropologists depicted the Neanderthals as primitive brutish‚ cave men. A few decades ago‚ they were thought to

TOPIC: The physical characteristics of the Australopithecus hominid. The first Australopithecus hominid (later named Australopithecus africanus) was discovered in by an anatomy professor in Johannesburg‚ South Africa named Raymond Dart in 1924. Prof. Dart initially discovered a five year old skull and it was unlike that of an ape’s he had ever seen. According to!!!!!!!!!‚ Studying the skull‚ he made the following discoveries: -The skull had “ape-like” features -had a projecting face -small brain

Using tools has been interpreted as a sign of intelligence‚ and it has been theorized that tool use may have stimulated certain aspects of human evolution-most notably the continued expansion of the human brain. Paleontology has yet to explain the expansion of this organ over millions of years despite being extremely demanding in terms of energy consumption. The brain of a modern human consumes about 20 Watts (400 kilocalories per day)‚ which is one fifth of the energy consumption of a human body

Hominid Evolution The evolution of hominids has been and still is a heated topic of debate. Many scientists debate over which species can be classified as “human”. The root "hominid" refers to members of the family of humans‚ Hominidae‚ which consists of all species on our side of the last common ancestor of humans and living apes. The time split between humans and living apes used to be thought of fifteen to twenty millions of years ago‚ but now the time period has shifted to around five

the Old World. Late in their existence‚ these folks also developed the first spear‚ which was simply a sharpened wooden stake that may have been hardened by leaving it in the fire for a short while. Later‚ some of these people evolved into the Neanderthals who developed what is called the Levallois technique of preparing a stone core by shearing off flakes. They used the flakes at times and at other times whittled down the core and used it. At first they held the stone points to use them. Eventually
