Changes in Men

Changes in Men

No one has ever thought us that there were so many different types of prehistoric human beings. Looking at the pictures of the skulls of the early sapiens, I’ve noticed significant changes in their skull features. The earliest such men were the Homo Habilis, which are also known as Neanderthals or “cavemen”, there skull features are more ape than human. Then came the Homo erectus, they are the result of men’s evolving from walking on four limbs into bipedal. Homo erectus as they name clearly shows they were erected meaning they walked on two legs and had a much larger brain then the Habilis; this is the result of the eating of red meat, which produces proteins and helps the brain become more developed.
The passage on the Hominids really just presented more evidence of the evolutions men went through to become as we are today. These two readings really showed me just how far human evolution has come. There are a total of nineteen different types of hominids from the beginning of time. This shows the many different types of evolutions men went through, throughout the centuries. We went through changes mentally as well as physically.
Lucy and the story of African eve both confirmed my belief that life began in Africa. Reading any magazines or archeological journals, you always read that prehistoric human bones were always being discovered in Africa. All of the pieces of literature could not be wrong, this further confirmed my theory where life begun. All of the different types of humans are being discovered in Africa, from Homo habilis to Homo erectus. It is important to recognize where life began because it’s way to know that we are all related and are the same. The human skin body changes with the climate, the African skin remained dark because of the sun in Africa, where the Anglo Saxon skin turned light to deal with the cold weather. The truth is we are all the same inside and out, all brothers and sisters.
