Origin of Human Being
The origin of human beings is a topic of debate and research among scientists. The current scientific consensus is that human beings evolved from ape-like ancestors over the course of millions of years. The first human beings are believed to have evolved in Africa, and they gradually migrated to other parts of the world.
History of Man
The study of human history is the study of the human past as it is described in written documents.
The earliest human beings were hunter-gatherers who roamed the earth for food. Over time, they developed civilizations, religions, and cultures. The human race has experienced many wars, revolutions, and technological advances throughout its history.
Earliest Ancestor
The earliest ancestor of a person is the person from whom they are descended.
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — A Portland man who became a quadriplegic after a car accident has been sentenced to more than six years in prison for sexually abusing a young girl.
The Oregonian reports that 36-year-old Jeremy Hightower was sentenced Friday in Multnomah County Circuit Court.
Prosecutors say Hightower began abusing the girl when she was 6 years old and continued for six years.
The girl told a relative, who contacted police.
Investigators say they found child pornography on Hightower’s computer.
Hightower pleaded guilty in April to first-degree sexual abuse, third-degree sexual abuse and using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct.
Evolution of Man
The history of the human race is a long and complex one, and there is still much that we do not know about it. However, based on the available evidence, scientists have been able to develop a general outline of the evolutionary history of man. This outline is as follows:
– Human beings evolved from apes over the course of millions of years.
– The first humans were hunter-gatherers, and they lived in small groups.
– Over time, humans developed new technologies and began to domesticate plants and animals.
– As human populations grew, they began to form civilizations.
– Throughout history, humans have made significant advances in technology and knowledge.
– Today, human beings are the most advanced species on Earth.
The Evolution of Humankind
Humankind has come a long way since its inception. We have evolved from primitive beings to the intelligent, civilized people we are today. This infographic takes a look at the evolutionary stages of humankind, and how we have progressed over time.
Pithecanthropus Erectus- Java Man
Homo Sapiens- Modern Human
Pithecanthropus (Sinanthropus) Pekinensis – Peking Man
The first specimen of Peking Man was discovered in 1923 by the American paleontologist, Dr. Davidson Black, in a cave near Beijing (then called Peking). The fossilized remains of several individuals were excavated from the floor and walls of the cave.
Peking Man is a subspecies of Homo erectus and is estimated to have lived between 500,000 and 200,000 years ago. He was a small-bodied, apelike creature with a braincase that was larger than that of a modern human. Peking Man is thought to have been a scavenger who may have used rudimentary tools to butcher animal carcasses.
Homo Habilis-Transitional Man
Homo Habilis is the earliest known species of the human genus, Homo. Homo Habilis lived from approximately 2.3 to 1.4 million years ago. They were the first humans to use tools and had a larger brain size than their predecessors. Homo Habilis is considered a transitional species, as they are thought to be the ancestor of both Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens.
Homo Heidelbergensis-Heidelberg Man
Homo heidelbergensis is an extinct species of the genus Homo that lived in Africa, Europe, and western Asia from at least 600,000 years ago to 200,000 years ago.
The first fossil of Homo heidelbergensis was discovered in 1907 near Mauer, Germany. The specimen, known as Mauer 1, is a nearly complete jawbone.
Homo heidelbergensis is thought to be the ancestor of both the Neanderthals and the Denisovans.
