LESSON The Human Origins and the Capacity for Cultures The study of biological and cultural evolutions is the focal point to help us how change commenced and influenced the flow of lifestyles in the modern age. The prolonged manner of change of humans was once originated from apelike ancestors. The physical and behavior inherited in the first human beings million years in the past is a signal that humans are of apelike ancestry is the scientific substantiation. Here we can see how contemporary instances have formed their physical look and behavior. In this module, we will explore how our ancestors lived a simple life too complicated at the same time as their appearance change due to the change in environment in which they lived. STAGES OF EVOLUTION OF MAN Photo: https://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/10/04/humans-continue-to-evolve/ Culture plays a significant role in our society and oftentimes misunderstood by so many because of biological complexities to cultural diversities from one community to the other tracing origins thousands of years ago. It is in this light also that the ―human origins‖ be considered as a major tool in coming up a wider perspective in understanding the process of the biological and cultural concept of evolution, for instance, changes or development in cultures from a simple form to a more complex form of human nature. NeverthelessNevertheless, the ideas in terms of biological and cultural evolution also have its own point of explanation which emanates from the evolution theory of Charles Darwin, a famous evolutionist of all times. Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. These characteristics are the expressions of genes that are passed on from parent to offspring during reproduction. Different characteristics tend to exist within any given population as a result of mutation, genetic recombination and other sources of genetic variation (Wikipedia). Toppr (n.d.) examined and enumerated the family to which human beings belong. This classification is called Hominidae. Drypethicus was the primary advancementprimary advancement man within the stages of evolution and some believed that Drypethicus was the common predecessor of man and primates. Dryopethicus Dryopethicus was the most punctual known precursor of man. However, Ramapethicus existed in the same way but appeared nearer to human-like structure than Dryopethicus. Dryopethicus occupied the European locale and few parts of Asia and Africa. Stages of advancement of people started from this genus. After Dryopehticus and Ramapethicus came to the class Australopithecus which gone before the class Homo. Australopithecus Australopithecus ramidus. A species that measures 1.2 meters tall and the fossils appear the foramen magnum that were huge to demonstrate upright walking. They had teeth like people. Australopithecus afarensis. ‘Lucy’, the popular fossil, had a place to this species. They are said to have possessed the African terrain and they were shorter than the Australopithecus ramidus. They had a small skull with flat noses and no chin. They were able to walk on two legs , but their legs were slightly bowed which made their walk somewhat ape-like. The bowed legs, fingers and toes empowered them to climb trees and live there. They had huge teeth and jaws. Australopithecus africanus. The name was coined by Prof. Raymond Dart which means “Southern Ape of Africa”. They were bipedal and had a small skull with small brains than Homo Erectus but they appear bigger than their forerunners. They are herbivores and that explains why they had huge teeth compared to modern day people. Australopithecus robustus. A species that was taller than his forerunners but still ape-like. This species discovered by Robert Broom. They weighed more than their predecessors. After the Australopithecus sort came the Homo class. The first man within the class was Homo habilis. Homo Species Hominids is a primate of a family (Homidae). They have a brain bigger compared to the Australopithecus species which showed up 2.3 million a long time prior. It is a classified as genus, Homo. It is partitioned into two species, the Homo Habilis and the Homo Rudolfensis. These two species were found in parts of Kenya and Tanzania. The Homo Habilis showed up around 2.3 million a long time back. They have bigger and they diminished the estimate of molars and premolars compared to the Australopithecus. They have the nearness of long arms of Australopithecus. The Homo Rudolfensis is by one means or another the same as the highlights of Homo habilis. Numerous paleoanthropologists make no refinements between two species. Few has said that the distinction lies on their cheek, teeth and face. The Homo Erectus was the primary hominid species that were dispersed within the “Old World”. It was seen in parts Africa and in Asia. It was found by Eugene Dubois and called it erect ape-man. Homo erectus had smaller teeth that the other species within the Homo Sort. The brain size 895 to 1040 cc in estimate. It is known that the Homo Erectus have the capacity to control fire. After the coming of Homo Erectus , the Homo sapiens paved its way to the world.. (Toppr n.d.) 1. Homo sapiens neanderthelensis. They had bigger brain estimate than the advanced man and were gigantic in size. Too, they had a huge head and jaw and were exceptionally effective and strong. They were carnivores and from the tools they used, they demonstrate that Homo sapiens neanderthelensis  they were hunters. They were cave tenants too but their caves were more comfortable because they lived in bunches and they hunted for food gathering. 2. Homo sapiens sapiens. Compared to the Homo sapiens neanderthelensis, Homo sapiens sapiens became smaller in size and the brain size reduced to 1300 cc. Cro-Magnon was the earliest of the Homo sapiens. They were omnivores, had skillful hands, developed the power of thinking, producing art, more sophisticated tools and sentiments. They were characterized as the modern human.
