PDF-(EBOOK)-The Rise of Homo Sapiens: The Evolution of Modern Thinking

The Rise of Homo sapiens provides an unrivalled interdisciplinary introduction to the subject of hominin cognitive evolution that is appropriate for general audiences and students in psychology archaeology and anthropologyThe book includes chapters on neural anatomy working memory evolutionary methods and nonhuman primate cognition but the bulk of the text reviews major developments in cognition over the span of hominin evolution from the apelike cognition of Ardipithecus to the final developments that enabledthe modern mind The most provocative chapters of the first edition the explicit discussion of the role of sleep in hominin evolution and the difference between Neandertal and modern human cognition incorporate significant developments in both areas since the publication of the first editionThis revised edition updates the former text and adds greater emphasis to the growing fields of epigenetic inheritance embodied cognition and neuroaesthetics The new edition provides greater emphasis on role and status of Homo heidelbergensis. However several new species of these hominin s are now recognized by some paleontologists eg H antecessor H heidelbergensis H helmei H neanderthalensis etc The entire group is referred to as late Homo which in turn can be broken down into three temp Pleistocene Homo sapiens from Middle Awash Ethiopia Tim D White Berhane Asfaw David DeGusta Henry Gilbert Gary D Richards Gen Suwa F Clark H Chapter 1.

Dates/ Daily life: 10,000 years after the ice age ended and the climate got warmer, plant life flourished and larger animals died out, and were replaced by forest dwelling animals along with a new type of Modern Humans. The Modern Humans made many advances in hunting and gathering. They were able to find out where the big game came from, and so they soon sheltered near the creatures and began hunting and farming. Their daily lives involved hunting, planting, gathering, and making homes. (1). 2 million years ago. Bipedal hominids with specialized teeth and expanded brains were walking around East Africa.

Anthropologists study human development and culture.. Paleoanthropologists specialize in studying the earliest hominids.. Early Development. Evolution traces the stages of our species from “humanlike” beings to modern human beings.. The first humanlike species were known as . hominids. .. Hominids are distinguished from apes by two major traits:. Vicky . Lee. Charles . darwin’s. prediction . The Descent of Man. “In each great region of the world the living mammals are closely related to the extinct species of the same region. It is therefore probable that Africa was formerly inhabited by extinct apes closely allied to the gorilla and chimpanzee; and as these two species are now man's nearest allies, it is somewhat more probable that our early progenitors lived on the African continent than elsewhere.”.
