C. Complete a table like the one below by writing what questions about human evolution
interests you and list one evidence that answers your question.
2. Are humans influencing Various scientists show that we significantly affect the process
the process of evolution? of evolutions, through the development of antibiotic, medicine,
defoliant struggles to the substantially man-made increase of
the extinction rate of different life-forms. Our impact on the
process of evolution unexpectedly draws out to our own race’s
evolution. Scientific advancement and culture allowed us to
thrive and progress resulting for us to be immune to some
diseases and to adapt to changing climates. In the future,
humans can adapt, but they are unlikely to transform into a
different, independent species because, considering our
transportation networks, no human community is really isolated
anymore.
3. Are humans still We are still dependent to the evolutionary pressures. Genetic
evolving? diversities are still developing in order to adjust as well as to
acknowledge the changing environment – in spite of cultural
and technological advancements. We contemplate these
changes to be microevolution although the Origins record
which studies at the entire hominin evolutionary tree is
macroevolution. There is no more potential for speciation
among humans without genetic exclusion.
4. Describe at least two similarities of humans and other primates.
Although the differences of humans and primates are distinct through appearances, us
humans have similarities to other primates. Just like humans, primates can smile in solitude,
giggle or burst out weeping, a diversity and flexibility to express positive emotions that were
considered to be a rare human trait until now. All implies that in our primate ancestors, facial
expressions related to laughter were already present, occurring long before humans evolved.
Primates are also friendly. They encourage one another and alleviate the stress of other members.
They also recognize what actions are moral and immoral. In order to determine what conduct is
unacceptable, they also judge, particularly when it concerns young primates.
There are several ways in which humans are distinctive from other primates, and I’m
going to explain 2 aspects that makes humans different from primates. In terms of the anatomical
differences, modern humans have minimum proportions of hair-covered skin top, back and sides
of the head, armpits & genitals (adults), chest & limbs (adult males sometimes), for example;
unlike primates that had fibrous hair mostly protects the skin with the exception of ears, plantar
foot surfaces and palm hand layers. In the aspect of social behaviors, such as communications,
humans have developed advanced communication wherein modern humans are making different
ways of music, writing, art and the use of complex technology, for instance; while the primates
were only focused on a narrow spectrum of gestures and sounds
D. What are the survival challenges that early humans faced and how is it similar or different to
present time?
Early humans and present or modern humans both lived on earth for thousands of years,
however, there are distinctions on how they lived. According to scientists both the early humans
and modern humans incorporate physical and hereditary affinity and emerged from Africa. The
early humans were also bipedal and acquired language and are adept at tools but since modern
humans have bigger-elaborate brains, they are able to comprehend and use figurative
articulations and expressions such as art and music, and they have various lifestyles and
principles. Since early humans were hunters, they are considered nomads while modern humans
have established their own residence to which they can settle. Lastly, early humans' interests
were narrowed to their inadequate environment, in contrast, modern humans expanded their
allurement through the exploration of technology.
