Un nuevo estudio señala que los humanos anatómicamente modernos aparecieron al sur del río Zambeze, en el sur del continente africano. Pero otros científicos cuestionan las conclusiones del estudio.
Homo sapiens evolved about 200-150,000 years ago in Africa, but our story as a species stretches back much further than that with early human ancestors. And the evolution of Homo sapiens is itself a tangled tale, full of unanswered questions and gothic family melodrama. Here are a few facts you may not know about the…
A small piece of jawbone unearthed in a cave in Spain is the oldest known fossil of a human ancestor in Europe and suggests that people lived on the continent much earlier than previously believed, scientists say.
Imagine a portrait that showed not only who you are, but where you came from hundreds of generations ago through your unique genetic code.
Un nuevo estudio ha precisado en 900.000 años la edad de los estratos más antiguos del yacimiento de Atapuerca.
Ecco 3 infografiche da utilizzare anche come schede stampabili sull'Homo Sapiens pensate per gli allievi della scuola primaria ma utili anche per i più grandi, disponibili in formato immagine e PDF. La prima è con scritte a mano, la seconda in stile mappa concettuale con connettori a forma di freccia e la terza semplificata come
I received an email from Nicholas Hahn last week in which he described his experience using a VERY low carb diet with a CrosFit template. His results are interesting and pretty impressive as he appears to run better on less than Zone levels of carb intake. Whooda-thunkt-it? Some of the other benefi
The widely-held vision of Neanderthals as brutes may need a stark rethink after research found they crafted the world's earliest jewellery from eagle talons 130,000 years ago, long before modern humans appeared in Europe.
Neandertales y humanos modernos se expandieron a través de Asia y Europa para adaptarse a los cambios que la edad de hielo conformó. En el proceso, ambos grupos se encontraron.
Homo sapiens, the species to which all modern human beings belong and the only member of the genus Homo that is not extinct. The name ‘Homo sapiens’ was applied in 1758 by the father of modern biological classification, Carolus Linnaeus. The earliest fossils of the species date to about 315 thousand years ago.
L’Homo Sapiens Sapiens, che significa “uomo molto sapiente” , comparve circa 40 mila anni fa. E' la specie alla quale apparteniamo anche noi . Un tipo di Homo Sapiens Sapiens è stato l’uomo di Cro- Magnon che visse nel nord della Francia in una località detta Cro –Magnon . Era robusto e alto , aveva un’intelligenza molto sviluppata e sapeva comunicare con un linguaggio. Viveva di CACCIA e di PESCA . Costruiva anch’egli strumenti con le pietre , con il legno e con l’osso che usava per la caccia e la pesca .Con le pietre , costruiva BULINI , GRATTATOI e DORSI . Con le ossa o con le corna degli animali soprattutto di renne, aveva costruito l’ARPIONE e l’AMO che usava per la pesca . Confezionava abiti di pelle che cuciva con l’AGO . Viveva in comunità, dapprima in gruppi di famiglie, CLAN, e poi in TRIBU’ ed era nomade . Le comunità si spostavano in cerca di ambienti nuovi ricchi di frutti e animali ed erano ben organizzate : le donne si prendevano cura dei bambini , raccoglievano erbe, bacche e frutti , conciavano le pelli e confezionavano gli abiti; gli uomini fabbricavano gli strumenti per la caccia , andavano a caccia soprattutto della renna , e difendevano la comunità dagli animali feroci o da altri uomini . Si rifugiavano nelle grotte , nelle caverne oppure in capanne fatte di frasche o con le ossa degli animali che ricoprivano con le pelli, L’Homo Sapiens Sapiens dipingeva le pareti delle grotte e rappresentava scene di vita quotidiana soprattutto di caccia o animali al pascolo . Seppelliva i morti con un corredo funerario. (Copiato da alcuni bambini della B) m. Elisa

I’ve never seriously studied anthropology, paleontology, or paleoanthropology. When I read someone who seems or claims to be an expert on paleoanthropology or certain aspects of evolution, i…
Lucy, Australopithecus afarensis, was not walking around Africa alone three million years ago. Biologists knew that, of course, the neatly linear line from critter to modern man does not exist, it happened in fits and starts and sometimes different ways numerous times.
New study finds DNA of ancient Siberian boy linked more to Europeans than East Asians.
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome.
Scientists at the Evolutionary Studies Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa say the bones indicate a decoupling of upper and lower limb function.
A genome taken from a 36,000 year old skeleton reveals an early divergence of Eurasians once they had left Africa, and allows scientists to better assess the

More than a thousand flint tools and waste generated on during their treatment were discovered near Pietrowice Wielkie (Silesia) by archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology, University of Wrocław - told PAP head researcher Dr. Andrzej Wiśniewski.
By Kate Shaw, Ars Technica Between 35,000 and 45,000 years ago, Neanderthals in Europe and Asia were replaced by the first modern humans. Why and how this transition occurred remains somewhat controversial. New research from the journal Science suggests that sheer numbers may have played a large role in modern humans’ eventual takeover; archeological data […]
A new study presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco refutes a previous theory that Neanderthals became extinct due to a massive volcanic eruption about 40,000 years ago.
