toc Theory For Human Evolution 3
__Towards Society....__ Human Evolution is like watching the lives through the eyes of the bones of our ancestors. Looking and researching the bones and what they were buried with helps us to know more their lives. Our ancestors made amazing discovery's that benefits for our race today like for example fire, stone tools and then the experience of language and writing, but their inventions were not the only things that changed...and we call this evolution. Evolution is a change in a physical, social, inventive way. __ This is bascicly how evolution is like __ __R ﻿ eligious Beliefs__ Some people disagree with scientist and these people are Christians. Some Christians believe that we were all created by God and that scientist are trying to define this fact. Remember that this information is only the theories of scientists. __**There are much more hominds but I am only going to show some.**__
 * Theory:** I have heard that we would continue evolving even now. I think that is true.

Australopithecus
This specie is one of our earliest ancestors that weren't human-like at all except the fact that they were the ones that started walking on two feet. They were scavengers because they have not yet made tools to help them with their food problem.

Australopithecus has an ape-like structure. It has humongous canines and molars. It also has very strong Teeth enamel (one of the four major tissues that make up your tooth.) They have parallel rows of black teeth suitable for eating meat and chewing hard roots and plants. To carry their teeth around they had long, thick jaws. The brain of a Australopithecus is only a quarter size of our brains today. The facial appearance of the ape species is that the Australopithecus has a shorter face than apes showing that there was an evolution between the last ape-like species. The skull of it has a larger eye hole that the Homo sapiens. This species could walk on two feet that made them different than the other earlier species. Males were bigger than females. 1.2 to 1.4 m is how high they stand.

3.7 million years ago the species Australopithecus were scavengers and needed to quickly cut meat from left over food from a predator. That is when the the first tool was used. The Australopithecus started using pebble tools and then started using hand axes which were small sharpened rocks. Then finally the creation of fire was made 500,000 B.C. They were omnivorous meaning they ate the following...
 * Fruit
 * Tubers
 * Nuts
 * Meat
 * They could also eat any edible plants they could find.

Homo Habilis
The race Homo Habilis was more human-like than the Australopithecus. But they still had longer arms than legs. This race has managed to make new tool that would be remembered for many generations.

The Homo Habilis stood 1.5m tall and walked with their shoulders slouched. They looked more human-like than the Australopithecus. They still had rather flattened heads that were 2/3 of the average sized humans skulls today. They also had smaller human-like teeth than the Australopithecus. Their brain size was 50% larger than the Australopithecus family and their skull was fairly small and the jaws were still incredibly large and wide. The stood up to 1.3m tall. They were still ape-like because they had longer legs than arms.

The Homo Habilis has very little proof that they buried the body's of their dead and had the ability to make fire. But the Homo Habilis have started to work together by bringing the food they have found. (because they are scavengers.) They used different stones for different uses like for example rocks with a flat edge for scraping of skin and other things. A sharp thin rock for slicing and on and on and on.

Soon the homo habilis migrated from jungle to areas like the African plains. They usually sheltered by rivers and lakes. Since they had small molars they could only eat these things besides chunks of meat. I guess that Homo Habilis had stole leftover food from predators when there is nothing to eat or if it is big. Otherwise they would work toghter by giving gestures and grunts to communicate with each other to pounce on small prey.
 * eggs
 * berries
 * very small birds
 * roots
 * insects


 * SURVIAL TIP FOR HOMO HABILIS...**
 * If you are by yourself then you are unlikely to survive.
 * Working together can get yourself more meat.

Homo Erectus
The Homo Erectus were walking upright with posture. They were not the prey anymore....now they are the hunters also becuase the had the power of fire and working together.

The Homo Erectus skull was still oval shaped but not as much as Australopithecus and Homo Habilis. They stood 1.79m tall. The also built a more stable and flexible thumb which helped them to hunt. They also weighed up to 65 kilograms. There spines started to stabilize helping then to walk upright meaning without their shoulders slouched.

They then started to do cave paintings soon after their kind appeared. You can find most of the Homo Erectus cave pantings111 in the Lascaux cave in France by just visiting it or seeing it virtually. They also improved in their body ornamentation (which was their body structure.)

**Homo Sapiens**
The Homo Sapiens were so very intellengent that their race were the ones that started farming and undertansble language, ceremonys of the dead and maybe religious beilefs. The also built huge bulidings that reached almost as high as a average sized house. Now they have congured all the places on the planet. Their brain volume is 1100-2000cc.Their cranuim was wider making room for their delvoping brain. They even had bigger brains than we did but we are still more intellengent than they were. By then they were dangerous hunters and predators

Human Evolution enabled us to make progress. Humans will contiune evolving just like our ancestors we will change so that we would be well suited to our earth invorment like for example tails. Or mabye since our ancestors lost parts of their physical traits like tails, longer arms than legs, hands for feet but there also things they gained...knowledge, walking upright, tools. All of the things they have learned benfit for us today. We are only the final versoin of humanity for now...their will be one person out of all of us that will take another step farther into evolution.
 * Conclusion**
 * Australopithecus
 * Homo Habilis
 * Homo Erectus
 * Homo Sapiens
