Molars Say Cooking Is Almost 2 Million Years Old 2011-08-22T20:15:00.307Z If that gap were populated by other hominids, we'd see that gap as not so much a gulf but rather a continuum with steps on the way. What's special about us? 2011-06-23T08:07:13Z Still, he says that although it's likely that the tools Rose's team found were made by H. sapiens rather than another hominid, scientists will have to find human fossils nearby to know for sure. Ancient Tools Point to Early Human Migration Into Arabia 2011-11-30T22:46:14Z Microwear and carbon analysis provides more detailed information on the ecology of hominids — how they lived based on what was immediately available to them. Observatory: Clues About Early Diets Found in Fossilized Teeth 2011-10-17T21:56:14Z "We assumed more of the hominids would be from non-local areas since it is generally thought the evolution of bipedalism was due in part to allow individuals to range longer distances," Copeland said. Hominid females roamed while males waited-study 2011-06-01T17:57:46Z An approach to solving the mystery, he said, is to frame the investigation around the question of what were the advantages to hominid ancestors of standing tall.

Human Ancestors Have Identity Crisis 2011-02-17T15:55:00Z Its discoverers argue that Toumai is the oldest hominid known to science. Sabretooth threat 2011-01-03T09:28:33Z Crucially, the Denisova hominid was the first to be identified from its DNA alone, its structure indicating that modern humans and the unknown cave dweller shared a common ancestor a million years ago. 20 things we learned in 2010 2010-12-26T00:07:13Z Overall, the resources and analyses presented here offer new opportunities in evolutionary genomics, insights into hominid biology, and an extensive database of variation for conservation efforts. Comparative and demographic analysis of orang-utan genomes 2011-01-26T18:22:58.603Z The pair bond was the pivotal event that opened the way to hominid evolution, in Dr. Chapais’s view. Supremacy of a Social Network 2011-03-14T17:16:19Z He lumps all proposed early hominids into an Ardipithecus genus that evolved into the Australopithecus genus by 4.1 million years ago. Human Ancestors Have Identity Crisis 2011-02-17T15:55:00Z But in hominids - including Toumai - it is placed more towards the front of the skull. Sabretooth threat 2011-01-03T09:28:33Z This means that in the very recent past there were at least four different human beings in existence: Neanderthals, Denisova hominids, Hobbit folk, and, of course, Homo sapiens. 20 things we learned in 2010 2010-12-26T00:07:13Z As recently as a year ago, evidence suggested that modern humans spread throughout the world in a single migration out of Africa that wiped out any genetic traces of other early hominids. Neandertal Relative Bred With Humans 2010-12-23T16:23:00Z Like a rival species of early hominid squeezed out of existence by evolution, the Open University presenter is no longer with us. Expert telly 2010-12-15T09:32:27Z An upright stance and other features once considered hominid signatures evolved independently in many ancient primates, remarks anthropologist Tracy Kivell of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. Human Ancestors Have Identity Crisis 2011-02-17T15:55:00Z Named after the Neanderthal, the German valley where their remains were first excavated in 1856, they evolved from the African hominid Homo erectus. Anthropologists adopt a more favorable view of Neanderthals 2010-10-04T21:40:00Z But he said the newly described hominid is a "very satisfactory animal" that "reinforces the accumulating evidence that these things probably evolved and really lived in woodland conditions rather than savannahs." Scientists: 'Ardi' Fossil Sheds Light on Origin of Human Species 2009-10-01T14:33:00Z Anthropologist Erik Trinkaus of Washington University in St. Louis says that it is almost identical to that of a hominid from Romania called Oase 2, which he says is “an unquestionable early modern human.” Neandertal Relative Bred With Humans 2010-12-23T16:23:00Z It’s also the first sign of such behavior in hominids preceding the Homo lineage, say anthropologist Shannon McPherron of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig and her colleagues. Lucy?s Kind Used Stone Tools to Butcher Animals 2010-08-13T14:32:00Z Parallel evolution of these traits makes the evolutionary status of proposed early hominids “more uncertain than originally described,” Kivell says. Human Ancestors Have Identity Crisis 2011-02-17T15:55:00Z Though no hominid fossils were found near the butchered bones, A. afarensis is thought to be the only species living in this region at the time. Lucy?s Kin Used Stone Tools and Ate Meat, Scientists Say 2010-08-11T17:00:00Z Lake Turkana lies to the west; most of the famous hominid fossils found in Turkana are from the western side of the lake, and not near to where we are. How to Cook Camel 2010-07-23T18:42:00Z “Sometimes one sees writers just standing before it, like early hominids in front of a monolith,” said Nick Denton, Gawker Media’s founder. In Online Journalism, Burnout Starts Younger 2010-07-19T02:59:00Z There’s nothing to stop this from happening, even among hominids. A Conversation With Jeremy Niven: Insects as Model Animals 2010-07-12T22:00:00Z But any of the fossils used to build this argument could just as easily represent now-extinct apes or hominids from dead-end lines, the researchers conclude in the Feb. 17 Nature. Human Ancestors Have Identity Crisis 2011-02-17T15:55:00Z Pending new discoveries, the discovery team wrote in a report being published Thursday in the journal Nature, A. afarensis is the only hominid group “to which we can associate the tool use.” Lucy?s Kin Used Stone Tools and Ate Meat, Scientists Say 2010-08-11T17:00:00Z "This is the area where we find the occurrence of some of the earliest hominid species," notes Eiler. East African Human Ancestors Lived in Hot Environments, Says Caltech-led Team 2010-06-10T14:57:00Z These features uniformly align this primate with all later hominids to the exclusion of any other ape — living or fossil. Ardi: Scientists Challenge Human Ancestor Connection 2010-05-27T19:35:00Z This new twist in the hobbit controversy follows the March 17 online publication of a paper in Nature concluding that hominids reached Flores by 1 million years ago. Hobbit Debate Goes Out On Some Limbs 2010-04-20T18:21:00Z “Researchers have to stop publishing papers that say, essentially, ‘This fossil is an early hominid, so suck it up and accept it,’” Wood says. “ and Science could change this practice overnight if they wanted to.” Human Ancestors Have Identity Crisis 2011-02-17T15:55:00Z The nearest stone that could have been usable for butchering seemed to be several miles from the site, which the scientists said suggested some premeditation on the part of the hominids. Lucy?s Kin Used Stone Tools and Ate Meat, Scientists Say 2010-08-11T17:00:00Z The hominid Australopithecus sediba was presented to the world last week. Skull of 'ancient human' probed 2010-04-12T18:40:00Z "These are arguably the most complete hominid skeletons ever discovered," says Berger. A New Find in South Africa: Key Link in Human Evolution? 2010-04-08T17:35:00Z He now suspects hominids reached the island as early as 2 million years ago. Hobbit Debate Goes Out On Some Limbs 2010-04-20T18:21:00Z In contrast, Wood and Harrison suspect that early hominids—whatever their identities—branched out in many different evolutionary directions. Human Ancestors Have Identity Crisis 2011-02-17T15:55:00Z Scientists announced Thursday that he had found the bones of a new hominid species that lived almost two million years ago during the fateful, still mysterious period spanning the emergence of the human family. New Hominid Species, Au. Sediba, Discovered in South Africa 2010-04-08T15:14:00Z Its mosaic of features, the researchers believe, means it fills an important gap between older hominids and the group of more modern species known as Homo , which includes our own kind. Fossils could be 'mother and son' 2010-04-08T14:02:00Z The researchers base their claim on DNA from a finger bone belonging to a hominid that lived in the Altai Mountains of central Asia between about 48,000 and 30,000 years ago. Ancient DNA Suggests New Hominid Line 2010-03-25T13:29:00Z Limb strength for H. floresiensis approaches that previously estimated for more ancient hominid species such as the 3.2-million-year-old Australopithecus afarensis — a.k.a. Hobbit Debate Goes Out On Some Limbs 2010-04-20T18:21:00Z Wood and Harrison discuss two cautionary tales of hominid classification gone awry. Human Ancestors Have Identity Crisis 2011-02-17T15:55:00Z They keep finding more hominid bones that click together like pieces of jigsaw puzzles. New Hominid Species, Au. Sediba, Discovered in South Africa 2010-04-08T15:14:00Z Professor Colin Groves, from the Australian National University, said his assessment of the Malapa hominids led him to conclude that they were actually a new species of Homo , not Australopithecus . Fossils could be 'mother and son' 2010-04-08T14:02:00Z But the new genetic sequence supports a scenario in which many African hominid lineages trekked to Asia and Europe in the wake of H. erectus, Pääbo suggests. Ancient DNA Suggests New Hominid Line 2010-03-25T13:29:00Z There is also a suggestive trickle of evidence, notably the skeletons and artifacts on the Indonesian island of Flores, of more ancient hominids making their way by water to new habitats. 2010-02-15T22:08:00Z In one case from more than 30 years ago, scientists thought that 12-million-year-old Asian fossils from a creature called Ramapithecus belonged to a hominid until further finds pegged it as an orangutan ancestor. Human Ancestors Have Identity Crisis 2011-02-17T15:55:00Z Researchers now think the split between apes and the hominid lineage occurred around seven million years ago in Africa. New Hominid Species, Au. Sediba, Discovered in South Africa 2010-04-08T15:14:00Z In addition to the two hominids reported in the journal Science, the remains of two further individuals are in the process of excavation. Fossils could be 'mother and son' 2010-04-08T14:02:00Z “That number of differences is good evidence for a new hominid because simple variation can’t account for it,” remarks geneticist Morten Rasmussen of the University of Copenhagen. Ancient DNA Suggests New Hominid Line 2010-03-25T13:29:00Z One hundred and thirty thousand years ago, modern humans shared the world with other hominids, like Neanderthals and Homo heidelbergensis. 2010-02-15T22:08:00Z “It’s like putting a hominid back together and asking it if it can walk upright.” 2010-01-12T05:27:00Z The sparse fossil record shows early hominid species already walking upright, but still relatively apelike. New Hominid Species, Au. Sediba, Discovered in South Africa 2010-04-08T15:14:00Z "So I called my dad over and about five metres away he started swearing, and I was like 'what did I do wrong?' and he's like, 'nothing, nothing - you found a hominid'." Fossils could be 'mother and son' 2010-04-08T14:02:00Z Tattersall regards the new mitochondrial DNA sequence as so distinctive that, unless disproved by further evidence, it must represent a new type of hominid. Ancient DNA Suggests New Hominid Line 2010-03-25T13:29:00Z Touch gave a consciousness of relationship and belonging that were the highest goals of all such humans, hominids, and primates creeping their way to godhood. Tokyo to Tijuana: Gabriele Departing America Although the hominids spread far outside of Africa, it is clear that they originate there and that it was in Africa that true man first emerged. The Black Experience in America Dr. Berger pointed to a hominid skeleton plainly visible in the road bed, now cleared of debris and fill. New Hominid Species, Au. Sediba, Discovered in South Africa 2010-04-08T15:14:00Z Molecular biology places the distinction between hominids and chimpanzees at four million years ago. The Civilization of Illiteracy “It may be going too far to propose a new hominid.” Ancient DNA Suggests New Hominid Line 2010-03-25T13:29:00Z For many thousands of years, Homo Sapiens and the other hominids lived side by side in Africa as elsewhere. The Black Experience in America Scholars believe that this was the result of the gradual absorption of all the other hominids by the more biologically advanced Homo Sapiens. The Black Experience in America Leakey believes that Homo Habilis, who lived in East Africa about two million years ago, was the immediate ancestor of man and the most advanced of all the hominids. The Black Experience in America Love and integration of sexual experiences, in the manifold of acts through which hominids move from the self-perpetuation drive to new levels of expectation and new intensities of their relations, is also pragmatically conditioned. The Civilization of Illiteracy By ten thousand years ago, however, all the hominids had disappeared. The Black Experience in America One of the most numerous of the early hominids was Australopithecus Africanus who originated in Africa. The Black Experience in America At various times and places, as Homo Sapiens absorbed other hominid strains, differences within Homo Sapiens developed. The Black Experience in America |
