This document describes the cranial features of a Rhodesian Man fossil specimen dated to around 25,000 years ago. It had a moderate forehead, wide-set eyes, robust eyebrow ridges, no indentation below the eyes, a slight ridge along the top of the skull, and a large triangular nasal opening. The cranium was rounded with a low, flat forehead, robust face, and small brain capacity comparable to modern humans. This specimen provided rare evidence of dental decay and infection in a Paleolithic-era skull.
En esta conferencia queremos reflexionar sobre las mujeres en el periodo más largo y remoto de la historia de la humanidad, explorando sus actividades económicas cotidianas, la socialización, la maternidad. Queremos plantear cuestiones sobre el papel de las mujeres en diferentes sociedades del pasado y actuales. Y digo diferentes porque, al igual que los roles de las mujeres varía mucho en la actualidad según la sociedad que consideremos, es probable que lo mismo sucediera en las sociedades del pasado, o incluso con mayores diferencias. Acercarnos a las evolución del rol de las mujeres desde la Prehistoria, y conocer su importancia en la construcción de nuestras sociedades, debe ayudar a hacernos ver que la historia se construye con mujeres y hombres, con seres humanos que buscaron la mejor manera de sobrevivir como especie.

La evolución humana, el hombre y la mujer. Una historia de cooperaciónRoberto Sáez
Para entender el porqué de la diferencia actual de roles entre el hombre y la mujer, es importante estudiar nuestro pasado, de dónde venimos y cómo hemos evolucionado, así como nuestro presente y el de nuestros parientes primates más próximos...
“Cada vez más emocionante” se titula mi artículo publicado en el Periódico de Atapuerca de mayo 2015. Muy personal, una muestra de esta pequeña pasión por la evolución humana.

The Ditsong National Museum of Natural History, located in South Africa, was formerly known as the Transvaal Museum. It contains some of the most important hominid fossils to understand Human Evolution in the range of 1.5-2.8 million years.
They are housed in the Broom room, named after Dr Robert Broom, which has public access to any visitor of the museum!

Easter Island appears regularly at the scientific papers, because of its particular characteristics as an extremely isolated small world, and the huge potential it has to study its colonization, the rise and the demise of its native population and its ecology. For me it is a special pleasure to write about it, because I was a visitor of Easter Island and am still impressed about what I saw and learned there.

The speed of evolutionary changes has greatly increased in the last 10,000 years. The huge increase in population plus the adaptation to new ecology conditions have resulted in strong pressure to produce genetic mutations: for example, to allow digestion of different food sources, to create resistance to unknown pathogens or to adapt skin to new environments. With this recent background, what type of variations can we expect that evolution will bring to humankind in the next 200,000 years? We can find different answers in the action of nature and the action of humans.

Aunque la base de la exposición lógicamente la conforman las mismas piezas, el diseño ha sufrido un cambio espectacular, a mejor para mi gusto, aunque yo habría dispuesto los expositores en otro orden (pero para gustos ya se hicieron los colores).

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
