ways, either as a member of the Homo sapiens species or as being a person. If we define ‘human’ as being a person, then for a fetus to be categorized in the same way, Singer states that it would need to be rational or self-conscious, neither of which is possible. To categorize it as a Homo sapiens (Refer to P.117, Homo sapiens and why conservative argument based on moral significance). At this point we can see that whether it is categorized as a person or Homo sapiens, both fall short in showing relevance

phases of the Paleolithic Era brought about a multitude of changes in social interaction as well as technology. These advancements allowed early Homo sapiens to adapt to new continent’s environments at a rapid rate. By 12,000 B.C.E., humans had evolved to more easily facilitate the social and physical demands of everyday life. The average Homo sapiens evolved to have a brain capacity nearly equal to one of a modern human, along with an erect posture and opposable thumbs. These adaptations contributed

Biological evolution is “any genetic change in a population inherited over several generations” (Bailey, 2017), but evolution isn’t defined as JUST change over time. For example, Evolution would be how Homo Sapiens developed the skill to walk on two legs, rather than the original design of crawling on all fours that is a characteristic present in most animals, but evolution wouldn’t be how a child gains weight and grows up from birth. Evolution is a scientific theory, meaning it is an idea that has

Before the arrival or the discovery of the Homo Sapiens, the Neanderthals used to live in the simple lifestyles with the nature that they are always looking for food (pg. 26) and have telepathic communication that they share the “pictures” within the group (pg. 24). Homo Sapiens in this novel had already invented the use of tools, such as arrows, bows, and canoes (pg. 134), which are similar to the humans now. The Homo Sapiens’ actions towards the Neanderthals represented that there’s

Human evolution is the gradual process in which people, or Homo sapiens, originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence, particularly in the form of fossils and secondary remains, show that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people evolved over a period of approximately six million years. Humans are primates. Both genetic and physical similarities show that humans and the great apes (large apes) of Africa, chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called “pygmy chimpanzees”) and

As the city of Chicago prepped for the 1893 World’s Fair Columbian Exposition, a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World, people all over the world brought artifacts to the city. To keep these artifacts in the city long after the Exposition ended, Edward Ayer and Marshall Field established the Columbian Museum. Built using Field’s money, Columbian Museum would go on to house world artifacts as well as function as a research institution. As time passed

(Jungers, et al., “foot of Homo floresiensis”), indicating that the population likely did not rely on chasing down prey. Another interesting conclusion derived from research has been the decreased degree of humeral torsion present in Homo floresiensis (Larson, et al.). When this metric is compared to the modern Homo sapiens, it is clear that the hobbit species did not have a large range of humeral rotation. This low degree of rotation indicates that the elbows of Homo floresiensis allowed for greater

Through the fossil record, scientists have been able to observe the changes among different homo genus, as they evolved over time becoming what we now know as the modern human (Fossil Record, 2015). The fossil record not only organizes the sequential generations that have changed over time to adapt better to their environments, but it also provides a time line to how homo sapiens came to exist (Fossil Record, 2015). Through careful analysis of the human fossil record, characteristics in the skull

biology, is a member of Homo sapiens, then after 14 days when primitive streak or after 16 days when gastrulation (Damschen, Gómez-Lobo and Schönecker), an embryo is a person without doubt, because at this point, the process of individualization

an aid in increasing the trust that we are now able to have in our future. Pre-historically, especially before the agricultural revolution, people found it very hard to have trust in what was to come. There was little trust in the future because homo sapien were so worried about surviving in the present. Before the industrial revolution,
