2. -Looking Back at Human
Biocultural and Social Evolution

3. HUMAN EVOLUTION
-the evolutionary process leading to the
appearance of modern day humans.
HOMO- is used to determine the species of human
beings.
HOMONIDS- is the direct ancestors of homo
species.

4. AUSTRALOPITHECUS- is the first definite homonids. They
were fully bipedal which means that they could walk using
their two legs.
1.) Gracile Australopithecus- A. Anamensis, A. Afarensis, A.
Africanus.
-Australopithecus anamensis was the earliest australopithecine
species.
-Autralopithecus afarensis is the most represented
australopithecine species.
-Australopithecus africanus was the gracile australopithecine that
was discovered.
2 groups of
Australopithecus:

5. .
2. )Robust Australopithecus- A. aethiopicus, A. robustus, A. bolsel.
-Australopithecus aethiopicus were the earliest and somewhat the least known of
the robust austhralopithecus.
-Australopithecus robustus was a new australopithecine species discovered by
Robert Broom.
-Australopithecus boisei was discovered by a paleonanthropologist named
Louis Leakey in western Tanzania.

6. HOMO SPECIES
HOMONIDS
2
species:
a). Homo habilis- appeared around 2.3 million years ago. It has a larger
brain and reduced the size of molars and premolars to the
Australopithecus.
b.) Homo rudolfensis is somehow the same as thee features of homo
habilis.
.
HOMO ERECTUS- was the first hominid species that was distributed in the
old
world.
HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS- appeared 50,000 years ago. It was
characterized
ass the modern human.

7. CULTURAL AND SOCIOPOLITICAL
EVOLUTION
NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION/ AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION
-In about 10,000 BCE, humans began to cultivate crops and
domesticate certain animals like sheep, cows, and goats.
This was a change from system of hunting and gathering
that have sustained humans and allowed them to survive
from the earliest times.

8. EARLY CIVILIZATIONS AND THE RISE OF THE
STATE
Indus valley in south asia- were the early civilization
started.
2 cities of indus
valley:
1.
Harappa
2. Mohenjo-
daro
INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION/ HARAPPAN CIVILIZATION

9. DEMOCRATIZATION
-Is the transition to a more democratic
political regime.
DEMOCRACY
-Is a system of government in which all the
people of a state or polity are involved

10. IT BECAME VERY POPULAR AND MANY COUNTRIES NOW HAVE
TRANSITIONED INTO A DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL SYSTEM BECAUSE
OF THE FOUR CAUSES:
-Wealth or
money
-Social
equality
-
Culture
-Foreign
Interventions

11. -Tracing the Bioculural and Evolution of
Early to Modern Humans
Topic:

12. The human
lineage

13. What is biological and cultural evolution of
humans?
Both are based on variation, heredity
and selection, but how these appear
and work differ. Biological evolution is
unconscious, opportunistic and not
goal-directed, while cultural evolution is
conscious, at best planned, and can
have a goal

14. 1. HOMININ ANCESTORS (6-7
MILLION YEARS AGO
The earliest ancestors of humans
diverged from the common ancestor
we share with chimpanzees.
Ardipithecus and Sahelanthropus
are among the earitest known
hominins.

15. 2. AUSTRALOPITHECUS (4-2 MILLION
YEARS AGO
Australopithecus afarensis, famously represented by
"Lucy," is one of the most well-known species from this
period. These hominins were bipedal, but they had
smaller brains and more ape-like features

16. Overview:
Australopithecus afarensis is one of the longest-
lived and best-known early human species-
paleoanthropologist s have uncovered remains
from more than 300 individuals!

17. 3. Early -Homo(2-1.5 MILLION YEARS AGO
-Homo habilis is considered one of the first members of our
genus.
-during this period, indicating an improvement in hunting and
food processing.

18. This species of human that lived more than
1.4 million years ago earned the nickname
the "Handy Man" because it is thought that
they were some of the first humans to make
and use stone tools. Their brains were
bigger than early humans, and they were
short ape-like humans with long arms, small
teeth, and jutting jaws.

19. 4. HOMO ERECTUS (1.9 MILLION TO 140,000
YEARS AGO
-Homo erectus had a more advanced stone tool culture known
as the Acheulean, which included handaxes.

20. It was the first of our relatives to have human-like
body proportions, with shorter arms and longer legs
relative to its torso. It was also the first known hominin
to migrate out of Africa, and possibly the first to cook
food.

21. 5. HOMO SAPIENS (500,000 TO 200,000
YEARS AGO
-This period saw the emergence of Neanderthals
(Homo neanderthalensis) in Europe and other
archaic humans in Africa and Asia.
-These hominins had larger brains than Homo erectus and likely
engaged in more complex social behaviors.

22. Archaic Homo are distinguished from
anatomically modern humans by the
characteristics of a thick skull, prominent
supraorbital ridges (brow ridges), and lack
of a prominent chin.
