PPT-Neanderthals

By T J Jordan B Emily and Dylan Introduction Many people believe that humans ancestors were apes but if you read this PowerPoint you may rethink that thought Come along with us sixth graders to discover the secrets of how our ancestors the Neanderthals lived. Dense populations don't produce innovation in other species. They only do so in human beings, because only human beings indulge in regular exchange of different items among unrelated, unmated individu Neanderthals and Us. 350 – 30 kya – H. Neanderthalensis.

Imagine a time long ago when giant creatures like wooly mammoths and saber tooth tigers roamed the Earth. Now imagine that you must survive in this frigid age with these enormous beasts.

Raising awareness so you and your family can avoid the dire health risks of vitamin D deficiency. All modern humans are tropically adapted mammals but many live above the 35th latitude where their technology, rather than their biology, has been used to adapt to the temperate and arctic conditions not encountered by their tropical ancestors. While this has been the case with ambient temperature where cold stress and hypothermia were immediately recognized and dealt with 40,000 years ago with clothing, fire, and shelters, there was another far more subtle stress that went unrecognized until the last 60 years. That stress at high latitudes was toxically low levels of UVB radiation, the component of sunlight that promotes the natural synthesis of vitamin D in skin exposed to it. Vitamin D is a hormone, not a vitamin, and its function is to promote (up-regulate) the activity, the production of proteins, of 3,000 genes out of a total of approximately 22,000. As a consequence, vitamin D deficiency causes the insufficient production of up to 3,000 proteins. This can slow down, corrupt, disrupt, or prevent an even larger number of chemical processes in which these proteins participate. When vitamin D deficiency is chronic, which is the case for more than a billion people now living above the 35th latitude, a wide array of pathologies of development, immune response, and other diseases develop. The manifestations of this high latitude sickness include more than 17 forms of cancer including breast, colon, prostate, and blood cancers, autism, all of the common autoimmune diseases, infertility, compromised immune systems, an array of skeletal and muscular diseases, type II diabetes, cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer\'s disease, and many others. The deficient subcutaneous production of vitamin D cannot be corrected by diet as few foods other than oily fish contain it. So, humans who live at high latitudes must take a daily supplement to prevent the manifestatio Book 4 of the Time Life series The Emergence of Man. Ever since the first discovery of their bones, the Neanderthals have provoked controversy. Who were they? How were they related to modern people? What caused their disappearance 35,000 years ago? The Neanderthals have become the archetype of all that is primitive. But what is their true story? The propensity to make music is the most mysterious, wonderful, and neglected feature of humankind: this is where Steven Mithen began, drawing together strands from archaeology, anthropology, psychology, neuroscience--and, of course, musicology--to explain why we are so compelled to make and hear music. But music could not be explained without addressing language, and could not be accounted for without understanding the evolution of the human body and mind. Thus Mithen arrived at the wildly ambitious project that unfolds in this book: an exploration of music as a fundamental aspect of the human condition, encoded into the human genome during the evolutionary history of our species.Music is the language of emotion, common wisdom tells us. In The Singing Neanderthals, Mithen introduces us to the science that might support such popular notions. With equal parts scientific rigor and charm, he marshals current evidence about social organization, tool and weapon technologies, hunting and scavenging strategies, habits and brain capacity of all our hominid ancestors, from australopithecines to Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis and Neanderthals to Homo sapiens--and comes up with a scenario for a shared musical and linguistic heritage. Along the way he weaves a tapestry of cognitive and expressive worlds--alive with vocalized sound, communal mimicry, sexual display, and rhythmic movement--of various species.The result is a fascinating work--and a succinct riposte to those, like Steven Pinker, who have dismissed music as a functionless evolutionary byproduct.
