Are We The Same or Similar: Humans And Non-Human-Hominins
One of the issues of debate within general populations is the idea of human evolution. We have spent the whole semester assessing and developing a mind of scientific inquiry in order to give a student a chance to show or learn what inquiry means. In order to use scientific inquiry a few things are needed..
* First something which is observable
* Second a way to collect meaning information about it
* Third a collection of information
Once the information is processed and refined it becomes data, That is, data is not the information but the accumulation of the refined, processed, and assessed information. Simply, data is not just found lying on the ground is (Kelley and Thomas)
The idea for this course, as should be in all college courses, some skills, beyond information, need to be patterned to learn the subject but also the skills need to be taken for use for the rest of their lives. That is, college work needs to be relatable to things outside the anthropology classroom because inquiry using scientific analysis applies most everywhere. Helpfully, the process of learning science gives students either an assessment of their current great skills or attempts to teach them the skills in order to help them make more informed decisions about things, anything.
This section contains a brief visit into the story of human ancestors and the bio-cultural connections which makes humankind a force on earth. Humankind includes animals which are human-like but not human.
Questions arise such as the big question regarding the point in time these animals become what is recognizable as a human (Wells).
For example, the following skulls are hominins, humankind, considered, connected to the human line. Yet it is very clear the differences which are remarkable. The reason they are considered part of the human clade is that they meet the certain requirements. Such as, brain to body mass ratio, traits for facultative bipedalism, arm and leg length comparisons, hips, knees, feet and toes, origins in time, evidence of skill sets, keyed to other theories of evolution.
Image of hominin skulls
A. List overtime
1 Australopithecus afarensis 4.4 mya
2 Australopithecus africanus 3 mya
3 Homo habilis 2.5 mya
4 Homo erectus 1.8 mya
5 Homo neanderthalensis .4 mya
In order to reduce the level of complexity, start by comparing just two hominins, based on dentition and overall skull morphology and cranial features, you may see that; modern humans, Homo sapiens. ; the skulls alone show “Lucy”, Australopithecus afarensis to be more closely related to non-human-apes.
When reviewing the vast difference alone, these animals are not modern humans. That is, the point, to show that there are enough traits to connect “Lucy”, Australopithecus afarensis to modern humans, derived characteristics, but...there are so many other traits which connect them to non-human-apes. This in a nutshell is human evolution.
Next to review the skeleton, you may note that “Lucy”, Australopithecus afarensis is quite different from closer ancestors such as H. erectus and H. neanderthalensis. That is, the skeleton although a facultative biped there are still many features more common to non-human-apes. Also, there are many traits which connect them to modern humans such as the trend towards; bigger brain to body mass ratio, traits for facultative bipedalism, arm and leg length comparisons, hips, knees, feet and toes.
1. H.erectus 2. A. afarensis 3. H. neanderthalensis
Another stunning way to review the idea of human evolution is to look more closely ast the scientific artists who as part of a team of evolutionary biologists, primatologists, paleontologists, and geneticists have created images of what some of the hominins may have looked like.
You may simply pick the one(s) which are without a doubt closest to what we expect to be an early human. If you picked H. erectus you are in keeping with the current scientific communities observations based on far more data. However, there are mountains of data regarding other hominin species which have transcended from one to another overtime based on features and in some cases culture.
In the following boxes review images and text of the following species based on the names, date discovered, by whom, location, and brain size.
Sahelanthropus tchadensis; S. tchadensis 6.8 million years old. Discovered in the Djurab Desert of Chad, in the southern Sahara desert. Brain size 375 cc
Ardipithecus ramidus; Ar. ramidus. 4.4 million years ago .Discovered by Tim White in the Middle Awash area of Ethiopia. Brain size 350 cc
Australopithecus afarensis; A. afarensis 3.9 million years ago. Discovered by Donald Johanson in, Hadar, Ethiopia. Brain size 450 cc
Australopithecus africanus, Au. africanus 3 million years ago. Discovered in 1924 by Raymond Dart in East Africa Taung site, Sterkfontien, Makapansgat, Gladysvale. Brain size 450 cc
Homo habilis, H.habilis 2.4 million years ago. Discovered in 1959 by Louis and Mary Leakey in Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. Brain size 750 cc
Homo erectus, 1.9 million years ago. Discovered in 1983 by Eugène Dubois in Indonesia , Solo River at Trinil, East Island of Java,,Brain size 985
