With all of the evolution that has occurred within the millions of years the human kind is what it is today.

Their taxonomy is:
Animal
Chordata
Mammal
Primate
Hominids
Paranthropus
Robustus

The Anamensis live in Eastern Africa. The lived there because it was a perfect climate for the Anamensis to live in with plenty of trees and fruit to eat. ]]> 2017-05-24 12:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/173606744 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/173606777 More commonly known as the besides man the Robustus were around about 1.8 million years ago in the late Pliocene time period and into the very early Pleistocene time period.
Their taxonomy is:
Animal
Chordata
Mammal
Primate
Hominids
Paranthropus
Robustus

The Robustus lived in Southern Africa. They were located there because of the same reasons for the Anamensis, the abundant amount of trees and fruit to climb and eat]]> 2017-05-24 12:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/173606777 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/173606805 The current humans today.

Homo

This is another skull to a Robustus, however, this is suspected to be a female skull because of its small size and less dominate crest the skull has.

This skull was recovered from Skhūl Cave in Israel, it is around 120,000-80,000 years old. ]]> 2017-05-25 13:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/173811288 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/173811326

This skull is one of the earliest modern day skulls that has been found, this Skull belongs to a middle-aged man and was around 30,000 years old.]]> 2017-05-25 13:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/173811326 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/173977618 All of the fossils show a trend of evolution over time, the fossils show how the skull changes from the brow size, the teeth, the crest on the top of the head, and the size and thickness of the skull. The earlier skulls have a very defined brow and a very small skull, also their teeth are big so they can't fit a lot in their mouth. As time goes on the skull starts to get bigger to compensate for the ever growing brain and brow becomes less definite but still very noticeable, also the enamel on the teeth start to shrink and become smaller and stronger as the human's diet changes from mainly fruit to fruit and meat. The latest humans have the most rounded skull because the human brain size almost tripled in size and the smallest kind of teeth also the strongest because of the meat diet the humans have moved to. The brow on the head have become very unnoticeable and the crest on the top of the head had smoothed out to the ever growing brain size.]]> 2017-05-26 12:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/173977618 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174393332 the Anatomy of the Anamensis is very different from the current humans in how the legs have become stronger and more depended on, how the arms have shortened and become a more as a tool instead of travel, and the hair amount on their bodies have become more bare and naked as the climate of the Earth starts warmed and as they travel to warmer parts of the world. The Anamensis is the hairiest of all the three because the climate 4.2 million years ago was much cooler. Their arms are almost the length of their full body because they only just started to walk and they're very dependent on their arms because it is their main source of travel, while their legs are not as strong as the modern day humans because they don't use them to travel. The Robustus is the middle man between the two because they are not too hairy, they use their legs more, and their arm has shortened but not by much because they can still use them to travel. The modern day humans are definitely at the other end of the spectrum because they are the least hairiest of all of the species, their arms have shrunken down just beyond their waist and their legs are most depend on because they use them to travel from walking or running, the legs also carry all of the weight.

The Compared karyotypes between Humans and Chimps show many similarities and differences between the two species and how humans evolved from an ancestor of the chimps. First, the humans have 2 fewer chromosomes than the chimps causing the humans to make different kinds of proteins needed for function in their body. The other thing would be how some chromosomes are smaller, longer, or basically the same size; if the chromosomes were longer or shorter than the chromosomes will make different proteins, but if they were to be the same then they are going to tell the body to make the same kind of proteins. The Similarities and differences are important to show how the humans evolved from a chimp ancestor because the similarities show how the humans are related to the ancient ancestor of the chimps, the differences show how the humans evolved from the chimp's karyotype and developed their own karyotype.]]> 2017-05-31 12:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174603529 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174795789 The Type of speciation that happened to humans was gradual because how the humans changed little by little like how they slowly lost more and more hair or how they became more bipedal over time or how their skull changed over time.]]> 2017-06-01 12:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174795789 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174795840 The humans had a divergent evolution because how they split off and made many different kinds of species. If you look at the Tree above it shows how the humans slowly evolved and split off and made many different kinds of human species. ]]> 2017-06-01 12:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174795840 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174796033 2017-06-01 12:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174796033 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174797214 The humans experienced genetic drift in the way how the humans got introduced into the neanderthal's gene pool and changed and adapted to the genes. Also when the humans would travel around the world they would acquire traits that they would pass down to their children for generations to come. ]]> 2017-06-01 12:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174797214 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174797241 The Evolution of humans was microevolution in the way how over million of years they slowly changed over time. The small changes that happened to the human kind were the amount of hair they had on their bodies or the size of their arms changing as they became more bipedal, or even how their skull size got bigger to fit their growing brain.]]> 2017-06-01 12:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174797241 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174799398 Darwin's theory decent with modification is shown in the human race and throughout its evolutions, because the humans would give their children mutated traits that they would need to survive like stronger legs, less hair, and a bigger skull.]]> 2017-06-01 12:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174799398 jm1591 https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174800827 Another way to show how the humans evolved from an ancestor of chimps would be to look at the DNA and RNA, similar to the Chromosomal analysis Chimp's and Human's DNA and RNA are very similar and different. The similarities between the DNA and RNA show how the Humans and Chimps are related in the first place. The differences in Chimp's and Human's DNA and RNA show how the humans evolved off of the chimps and formed their own DNA and RNA to sustain their body]]> 2017-06-01 12:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jm1591/Genus_Homo_Pd1/wish/174800827
