 * Theory of Human Evolution 4**
 * Scientists are trying to find the missing link to human evolution. Some have the same questions that we do. Where do we come from? How do we find out where we come from? etc... Well this is my theory of evolution.**
 * Evolution started off as Hominids became more familia r with their surroundings and their environment... Such as exploring with what they can make, like tools, fire etc... But so far this is all we know, and it could possibly not be enough.**
 * So, how could we find the missing link? How could we possibly know that hominids were our ancestors? We ponder these things in our mind because, it keeps us involved about what is going on around us, and helps keep us moving forward to the answer of human society .**
 * __ My theory: As time goes on we have questions if we are the final version of our ancestors... I believe that we are __ . **
 * //__Their tools for Survival__// **
 * ** //__The hand axe__// **
 * **//__ The Harpoon head __//**
 * __//** The Clovis Point **//__
 * **__// The Blade Core //__**
 * ** //__The Bone Point[[image:tool-bonepoint.jpg width="67" height="89" align="right"]]__// **
 * ** //__The Burin__// **


 * //__Speech, Stance and Exploring__// **

While earlier Hominids were exploring and learning more about there environment, Hominids discover new things, and slowly over thousands of years, as years past through, they are closer to having a proper human stance. It's also the same thing with speech, There is actually no evidence of how they learned speech.

**__// Australopithecus //__**
5-6 million years ago apes lived that were the ancestors to both chimps and humans. Chimps were living in deeper forest, while the ancestors of humans lived on the outside of Africa. Humans could have only evolved from apes. evolution becomes is a usual Subject Our time. To ask where we come from. But it will still only be a theory without more evidence. Scientists are still trying to answer all of our questions. Where do we come from? They need to find the missing link, to find the answer. And one scientist thinks he knows the answer. Neanderthal was probably //part// of this missing link to human evolution. Also, to having a human stance in their mear future... They wern't completly awar of what was going on around them, but they know how to exlpore and discover new thing in their habitat... Their dicoveries made it possible how to live without as much harm and danger around their surroundings and homes. Their shelters wern't very civilized at all. But they did make places to hide from danger that approached them and possibly other creatures. Although they are extinct, they were the first stage of our evolution, and made it a p ossibility to continue the evolution of human


 * //__Their Diet?__//**


 * They ate big roots
 * a part of its diet is a type of grasses
 * nuts
 * Berries
 * Seeds
 * When they came across a dead animal they will eat the meat or the marrow of the bones of the animal.


 * //__Features?__//**


 * Australopithecus has a mixture of human and ape appearance
 * Longer Arms then legs
 * Spine, leg and foot bones are evidence that Australopithecus walked upright.
 * big jaw
 * size of thee brain was about the size of a chimpanzee's
 * not very tall

=__//**Homo Habilis Info**//__= Homo Habilis is actually the first hominid to make stone tools. They have the a larger brain than the largest Australopithecus brain, but smaller then the Homo Erectus's brain. How do we know? Because the first fossils were found in 1960. Homo Habilis also has some ape appearences also, With longer arm than legs! They lived in groups together, and as the human evolution increased, the homes and shelter was more of a safe place for them as they lived in their families.


 * //__Their Diet?__//**
 * Roots
 * shoots
 * fruits
 * and raw meat
 * //__Features?__//**
 * A big jaw
 * a simillar face to Australopithecus
 * A bigger brain than Australopithecus Afarensis
 * Very Long Arms

=Homo Erectus= As it said above, Homo habilis live in groups, but Homo Erectus do as well. Homo Erectus fossis were found in 1893. The fossils of homo erectus were located in Asia and Africa. Even though the skull of a Homo Erectus has ape-like similarities, it is also quite similar to to the modern human skull. The skeleton is also similar to us humans. Although the bones of the skeleton of Homo Erectus are much thicker and heavier, they are still similar to human and ape-like bones. It was said that omo Erectus was the first Homind to use fire, to scare most animals off, and also to hunt animals.


 * //__Their Diet?__//**
 * red meat from differnt types of animals
 * berries
 * Roots
 * Honey
 * Marrow (from animal bones)
 * //__Features?__//**
 * Large teeth
 * A little shorter than us humans
 * Large jaw
 * Long arms and Legs

=**//__Homo sapiens__//**= Scientist say that out of all of the hominid species, Homo saipens were the hardest to find a link to this. Homo Sapiens are more human than ape. Scientist found that a new stone tool was created by homo sapien. That is exactly 2.5 million years old. Homo sapiens have a bigger brain size then homo Erectus, but also a smaller brain than us humans. The first fossils of Homo Sapiens, were found in 1921. They were quite successful with tools also, and making their own shelter and finding their way to civilisation.

__**It is difficult to exlpain the features of a Homo Sapien. Because scientist have found many fossils but we**__ __**can see a difference in the brain size and the jaw of a homo sapien.**__ //__﻿__// __//**Diet?**//__
 * //__Features?__//**
 * Smaller sized braincase
 * Large and thick bones in the head
 * a longer forehead with thick bones
 * nuts
 * Berries
 * fruits and vegetables that have plenty of water in them'
 * fish
 * roots
 * and Red meat

=Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis= neanderthal was about five and a half feet tall. They were also very fimiliar with cold weather and //living// in it too. Their bodies were shorter than ours, for cold weather. Scientist say that their brains are larger than ours. Neanderthal made their own shelter and made clothing also. And very succseful and skilled at hunting. at hunting large animals and discovering things with their own enviornments. They learned and were very skilled at handling fire.
 * //__Features?__//**
 * Wide ribcage
 * large braincase
 * wide nose for the cold
 * small bodies again for the cold
 * they stood upright, but didn't have great knees though
 * //__Diet?__//**
 * bison
 * raw meat
 * berries
 * roots
 * fish
 * deer

=Homo Sapien (modern)= Homo sapien sapien achieved making civilization and usful tools to survive. They also started cave paintings. Homo sapiens sapiens are actually tall compared to Neandderthal. Homo Sapien Sapien were sucsessful at discovering speech and making better shelter and tools. __//**Diet?**//__ =__﻿Conclusion__= our knowledge can make the theory of Human Evolution even bigger and more understandable to people everywhere. Hominids are something about our past, and we try and research. Finding more evidence might help find the missing link to our ancestors. With the research we have today, there is no going back and not giving up, because if human evolution started and possibly ended, and us finding answers to all of our questions started... Then we will find the answer if we keep searching. And it might come to an end and we will have our evidence and answers... Kaylee Durrence
 * //__What were their tools made of?__//**
 * bones
 * antler
 * stone
 * and wood
 * //__Features?__//**
 * round brain case
 * tall
 * more of a straight face than round
 * a smaller nose
 * smaller jaw
 * developed chin
 * __Homo Sapien Sapien are us modern human, so just think of what we eat.__**
