I can be contacted via e-mail if you have any questions or comments about the site. Recent Updates Let me take this opportunity to restate that I am fixing links as I find the time. I have created every piece of information on this site either by my personal knowledge or by my personal transcription of someone else's work (the definitions part of the site). I do this for no money, and in fact I pay currently around $200 a year from a student's income on keeping this site running. I have received zero donations to help pay for this site that has been ad free and paid up by me, for 4+ years now since I moved from free hosting. You want to e-mail me a problem? I will fix it if there is one, eventually. All e-mails regarding errors are put into a specific e-mail folder and as I get the chance I fix them, with things like typo's often being pushed down in priority. I appreciate the head's up on those. You want to e-mail me asking for some help on a school project or something like that? That's not what I'm here for, but I will sometimes reply with something if I think I have something useful to add that isn't something you should have gotten yourself with a smidgen of research.

http://anthro.palomar.edu/time/time_1.htm

Extractions: Paleoanthropology is the study of early forms of humans and their primate ancestors. It is similar to paleontology except its focus is documenting and understanding human biological and cultural evolution. Paleoanthropologists do not look for dinosaurs and other early creatures unless they were closely related to humans. However, like paleontology, the data for paleoanthropology is found mainly in the fossil record. Before examining this evidence, it is necessary to first learn what fossils are and how they are formed. In addition, it is important to know how paleoanthropologists date fossils and other evidence of the prehistoric past. The Nature of Fossils Approximately 1.8 million species of living organisms ha ve been described and given scientific names so far . Every year, thousands more are identified. There are probably millions of species that have not yet been discovered, especially in tropical forests. It is likely that most of these are insects and plants. Estimates of the total number of living species range from to 100 million, but the general consensus in the biological sciences is that there probably are about 1

The History Channel s Ape to Man takes a smart look at the people behind the science.
http://www.archaeology.org/online/reviews/apetoman/index.html

Extractions: Louis and Mary Leakey in Tanzania's Olduvai Gorge in 1959 discussing the 1.75-million-year-old remains of Zinjanthropus boisei (later reclassified Australopithecus boisei ), a discovery that cemented humanity's African origin (Courtesy History Channel) [LARGER IMAGE] At first we thought a large brain set us on the path to exceptionality, but Neandertals' brains were often larger. Then we thought tool use distinguished us, but many primates use crude tools. Now the dominant idea concerning our uniqueness is that we first branched out into unexplored evolutionary territory when we stood upright. These changing ideas of what sets us apart from the other apes, and how each reflects the culture and era in which it was developed, are the focus of the History Channel's Ape to Man , a two-hour-long documentary premiering Sunday, August 7, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Ape to Man looks at the 150-year-long history of the search for the missing link between apes and humans. It's the right approach for a historical narrative documentary to take, because it allows the focus to fall on the scholars driving the science. We get the moment-of-discovery reenactments so beloved by pop history shows (and they're relatively well-acted), but we also get a good idea of the resistance scholars faced from disbelieving colleagues and an ape-resistant public.

Extractions: var OAS_version = 10; var cntr = 1; Login / Sign-up Logout Edit Profile Here's a fun read with paleoanthropologist John Hawks on scientists' current understanding of how humans have evolved in the last 50,000 years. Contrary to a few decades ago, anthropologists now believe the pace of human evolution has accelerated rather than all but stopped. Hawks Here are some highlights from the talk Hawks had with Archaeology magazine: How many new mutations have occurred in the human genome over the past 50,000 years? We were able to count around 3,000 new adaptive mutations for Europeans around the same number in west Africans and east Asians. So, it varies by ethnicity? Just a bit. There are mutations that occurred in Europe that haven't spread everywhere else and the same is true for the other populations. And this (yes, our brains really have shrunk): What are the biggest evolutionary changes in humans over the last 50,000 years? Well, there have been lots of trends. During the past 20,000 years and particularly the past 10,000, body size shrank a little bit, brain size shrank quite a lot, and tooth size reduced. The European and Asian genes that lighten skin color are pretty recent. Digestive things have changed, like the ability for adults to consume milk.

http://hotcupofjoe.blogspot.com/2006/11/paleoanthropology-multiregional-versus.h

Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar The multiregional evolution hypothesis asserts that modern humans are the present manifestation of older species of hominids including Homo neanderthalensis and H. erectus. The replacement hypothesis, however, states that modern humans are a new species and that the older species mentioned above were replaced. In the latter hypothesis, transition of archaic H. sapiens to modern doesn't occur anywhere in the world except Africa at around 200,000 years ago. Anatomically modern humans then dispersed outward to other regions, replacing other hominid species by out-competing them for resources or by displacing them from environments optimal for their continued survival. There is, however, a very persistent group of paleoanthropologists who adhere to the multiregional evolution argument, which doesn't, by the way, imply that there was parallel evolution or multiple origins of modern humans. This theory suggest that genetic exchange explains how differentiation, geographic variation, and evolutionary change within humans occurred.

Extractions: @import "/c/style.css"; @import "/c/style.css"; For many 20th-century decades, the Killer Ape and Man the Hunter theories were all the rage in explaining the trajectory of human prehistory. Anthropologists and popular science writers males, that is put forth scenarios about how humans became human because men grooved on aggression or went off big-game hunting in cooperative groups, and in the process kick-started serious intelligence for the whole species. Raymond Dart and Robert Ardrey are remembered even today for celebrating, in various ways, the male and the bloodthirsty. But on rolled the male-authored myth-making machine. In 1981, Owen Lovejoy wrote that prehistoric men were selected to be bipedal because they could better provision their females, who in turn could better immobilize themselves at home and hearth, and produce more babies. Some version of the primary, providing, protecting male has apparently been hard to leave behind; in 1999, a team of researchers led by Richard Wrangham (and including one woman) offered a vegetarian version of food-makes-us-human, starring cooked tubers with women as the cooks, but guess which sex needed male protection at the hearth from thieving food-snatchers?
