- Homo Floresiensis
- HOBBIT (indonesia) 3 ft tall, still used fire, tools, hunting
- Recent African Origin Hypothesis
-
Change into AMH occurred in Africa 1st....they spread and REPLACED everything else throughout world b/c of evolutionary adaptions that gave advantage
NO GENE FLOW....trace to one ancestor - Anagenesis
-
evolution change that occurs with the gene frequency in ENTIRE population.
mutation become common in entire population - Assimilation Hypothesis
-
both multiregional and recent african origin
AMH came from H. Sapien in africa
spread with w/gene flow and fucking indigenous people - Mutation MultiRegional
-
evolved within own population into AMH
origins of both H. Erectus and H. Sapien ancestry - Terra Amata, France
-
no skeleton just occupational site
evidence of SHELTERS (post-holes and soil) fire (Charcoal), Large animal bones
Acheulean tools
Seasonal knowledge (seeds) - Atapuerca, Spain
-
500,000 ya
not all fossils identical (transitional traits)
robust brow, thin cranium, changing vault shape, use of fire, consistent in living area - Neander Valley
- found the neanderthal remains in 1856
- Anatomically Modern Human
-
-intelligence
-language
-symbolism (abstract thought)
-theory of mind/ sense of self
-art/ ritual tools
-structures
-cooperation
-deception
-social rules and laws - Neanderthals
-
fossil group, dated 100,000-130,000 ya
adaptable, intelligent, effective PREDATORS - petralona cave, greece
-
large face/jaw
skull not classical H. Erectus though
lots of debate over classification depending on how you measure/interpret - Steinheim, Germany
-
300,000-250,000 mya
large brow, BUT still similar to H. Sapien (face tucked under brow)
many animal remains - Swanscombe, England
-
250,000 ya
only fragments of crania
many paleolithic tools (Clactonian Culture) - Puncuated Equilibrium
-
sudden evolutionary change then period of evolution stasis
HENCE no clear distinctions among groups (phases/transitions) - Dmanisi
-
5 crania fossils in Africa
linked to H. Erectus
proved H. Erectus migrated out of africa shortly after emerging - Heidelberg, Germany
-
only mandible found (robust/ large)
1st evidence of Transition
teeth smaller than H. Erectus - Clovis Point Tool Cultures
-
COMPLEX TOOLS
modifying flake an making a point for a spear
FOUND ONLY IN NEW WORLD - Divergence Theory
-
trace back to one ancestor
ROBUSTNESS becomes beneficial and descendant from H. Erectus
distinct H. Erectus specis that go extinct - Phase Theory
-
neanderthal= a phase not species
evolved from H. Erectus
after ICE AGE-went around fucking natives with GENE FLOW BITCH!
