Topic: Homo neanderthalensis


  
  Hominid Species
Homo habilis and all the australopithecines are found only in Africa, but erectus was wide-ranging, and has been found in Africa, Asia, and Europe.
Homo antecessor was named in 1977 from fossils found at the Spanish cave site of Atapuerca, dated to at least 780,000 years ago, making them the oldest confirmed European hominids.
Homo floresiensis was discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003.

According to the theory of evolution, the development of genus Homo spans over 2 million years although the fossil record is far from complete; as paleoanthropologists discover new evidence, models of human evolution change.
There is ongoing debate over whether "Neanderthal Man" was a separate species, Homo neanderthalensis, or a subspecies of H.
habilis, the first species of genus Homo, evolved in South and East Africa in the late Pliocene or early Pleistocene (2 - 2.5 million years before present) when it diverged from the Australopithecines (Australopithecines and Hominenes are collectively referred to as Hominids).

 Homo neanderthalensis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Homo neanderthalensis, Neanderthals or Neandertals for short, was a species of genus Homo that inhabited Europe and parts of western Asia during the last ice age.
Despite this, populations of Neanderthals held on for thousands of years in regional pockets such as modern-day Croatia and the Iberian and Crimean peninsulas.
The consensus has been, based on ongoing DNA research, that they were a separate branch of the genus Homo, and that modern humans are not descended from them (fitting with the single-origin hypothesis).

Neanderthals or Neandertals are a species of genus Homo who inhabited Europe and parts of what is now western Asia during the last ice age.
Although Diamond and others have specifically mentioned Cro-Magnon diseases as a threat to Neanderthals, this aspect of the analogy with the contacts between colonisers and indigenous peoples in recent history can be misleading.
In popular idiom the word Neanderthal is sometimes used as an insult, to suggest that a person combines a deficiency of intelligence and an attachment to brute force.

 Homo neanderthalensis
The species name of neanderthalensis comes from William King, who first named the species in 1863 at a meeting of the British Association, and put it into print in the Quarterly Journal of Science in 1864.
As always in the anagenesis of one species into another, there is a "fuzzy" area which prevents the pinning down a a date when "A" became "B".
In the case of heidelbergensis to neanderthalensis, this boundary seems to have the Neanderthals first appearing between 250 kyr to 200 kyr.

Some important features about it is that it was stronger than Anatomically Modern Homo sapiens and that he had a narrow spinal cord, which may have inhibited speech.

 Prominent Hominid Fossils
Because of its similarities to the fossil ER 1470, its finders have suggested that OH 65 may lead to a reclassification of the habiline fossils.
There are a number of clear trends (which were neither continuous nor uniform) from early australopithecines to recent humans: increasing brain size, increasing body size, increasing use of and sophistication in tools, decreasing tooth size, decreasing skeletal robustness.
It is generally accepted that Homo erectus is descended from Homo habilis (or, at least, some of the fossils often assigned to habilis), but the relationship between erectus, sapiens and the Neandertals is still unclear.

 Science Show - 8 July 2006  - History of language and music in humans
If we were to refine that further to say that by definition music only exists when it touches a mind of Homo sapiens, then all else in all other species is a form of communication but it is not music.
Measurements of brain size and the presumed size of individual components, for example, the cerebellum or the different lobes of the cerebral cortex, give us only a very small amount of information, and, as many males of the human species have opined, size is not everything.
At the end of his book Origins of the Modern Mind Merlin Donald said, 'One thing is certain; if we compare the complex representational architecture of the modern mind with that of the ape, we must conclude that the Darwinian universe is too small to contain humanity.

 Human Ancestors Hall: Homo neanderthalensis
This would indicate that the population of modern humans in this area was not descended form Neanderthals, and that there was some period of coexistence, or an alternating series of migrations into this region by the two species.
The original interpretation of Neanderthal anatomy was one of a primitive early human based on a flawed reconstruction of the nearly complete skeleton of an elderly Neanderthal male found at La Chapelle-aux-Saints, France (second photograph from the top).
However, Neanderthals and modern humans (Homo sapiens) are very similar anatomically -- so similar, in fact, that in 1964, it was proposed that Neanderthals are not even a separate species from modern humans, but that the two forms represent two subspecies: Homo sapiens neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens.

 Homo sapiens neanderthalensis
The Homo sapiens neanderthalensis were present during the end of the Ice Age, and were very adapted to living in this cold environment (1).
These characteristics were first thought to be signs that they were hard-working, but these same characteristics were also found in children; therefore, it is now believed this was a genetic trait instead (3).
Socially, the Homo sapiens neanderthalensis were also thought to be more advanced than species of the past.

 Nuclear Holocausts Bibliography: K
Scientists are blamed for the Atomic War, but one of them pursues his project of reviving Neanderthal man from a fossil, arguing that the Homo sapiens replaced the earlier race, but was not truly superior to it.
As in all of these tales, the antiracism message is rather confused: it is vital not to assert racial superiority, particularly when one is superior, because doing so may precipitate a pogrom.
It is quite acceptable, however, to plan the long-term domination and even replacement of humanity by Homo Superior if it is gone about in the proper way.
