PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-The Evolution of Homo Erectus: Comparative Anatomical Studies of an Extinct

This book provides a wealth of information about individual crania jaws and postcranial remains of Homo erectus and will serve as an important guide to the anatomy It also documents the history of this extinct human species and suggests a route whereby Homo erectus may have given rise to people more like Homo sapiens. 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 Sasikanth. .

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.”. INTRODUCTION. Evolution is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.. Biological evolution is defined as organisms reproducing but experiencing changes with each generation. Evolution can happen in a small and large context. There are small genetic changes between generations, as well as large changes that happen over multiple generations.. Human variation: defined . Human variation refers to the fact that there are a range of possible values for each of the numerous physical characteristics of human beings.. People of the same species can have differing phenotypic traits that can be related to:. Simon & . Schuster 2003. Cannibalism. Survival. Gustatory. Ritualistic or Incorporative. Cannibalism.
