The document summarizes key aspects of human evolution from early hominids to modern Homo sapiens. It discusses that the evolutionary history of hominids is not clear due to incomplete fossil records. Early hominid species included Australopithecus afarensis and Homo habilis. Later species such as Homo erectus showed adaptations for walking and larger brain size. The document compares physical traits between hominid species and modern humans. It also addresses debates around the emergence of modern humans and their relationship to Neanderthals.
Human evolution is the evolutionary process leading up to the appearance of modern humans. It is the process by which human beings developed on Earth from now-extinct primates. It involves the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. The study of human evolution involves many scientific disciplines, including physical anthropology, primatology, archaeology, ethology, evolutionary psychology, embryology and genetics. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioural traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years.

The mouth and teeth play an important role in social interactions around the world. The way people deal with their teeth and mouth, however, is determined culturally. When oral healthcare projects are being carried out in developing countries, differing cultural worldviews can cause misunderstandings between oral healthcare providers and their patients. The oral healthcare volunteer often has to try to understand the local assumptions about teeth and oral hygiene first, before he or she can bring about a change of behaviour, increase therapy compliance and make the oral healthcare project sustainable. Anthropology can be helpful in this respect. In 2014, in a pilot project commissioned by the Dutch Dental Care Foundation, in which oral healthcare was provided in combination with anthropological research, an oral healthcare project in Kwale (Kenia) was evaluated. The study identified 6 primary themes that indicate the most important factors influencing the oral health of school children in Kwale. Research into the local culture by oral healthcare providers would appear to be an important prerequisite to meaningful work in developing countries.
Evolution is a process that results in changes that are passed on or inherited from generation, which help organisms survive, reproduce, and raise offspring. These changes become common throughout a population, leading to new species.
Biological evolution explains how all living things evolved from a single common ancestor, but any two species may be separated by millions or billions of years.
This species was bipedal, fully erect, and capable of grasping tools and weapons with its forearms. These fossil specimens have a larger brain size of 600 cubic centimeters (37 cubic inches), as well as a jaw and tooth size more akin to modern humans.
-Fossil skulls contain tangible evidence of unequal brain development, which is mirrored in the way stone tools were formed.
-The earliest of our ancestors to show a significant increase in brain size and also the first to be found associated with stone tools

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HUMAN?
A BEHAVIORAL PERSPECTIVE
by Alison S. Brooks
˜ ˜ ˜
“…it would be impossible to fix on any point when the term “man”
ought to be used……” (Darwin 1871: 230)
A
new permanent exhibit at the Smithsonian’s Na
tional Museum of Natural History asks the ques
tion “What does it mean to be human?” Before
there were any fossils to inform us about the roads taken
and not taken on our evolutionary journey, 18th and 19th
century scholars wrestled with the anatomical similarities
between humans and apes, especially, as Darwin noted,
the African apes. Many of the human distinctions these
early scholars cited were behavioral, including language,
tool-making and technology-dependence, culture, use of
fire, a sense of shame, burial of the dead, and a sense of
the sacred. Even today, our anatomy alone may not suf-
fice to define our genus Homo. Indeed in 1964 one of the
oldest members of our genus, Homo habilis, was defined
as Homo to a large extent on the basis of the tools found
in association with its bones; the evolutionary or generic
status of the bones themselves remains controversial. As
in the museum’s new exhibit, new approaches to under-
standing our past and defining our species emphasize the
role of changing human behavior and its relationship to
and possible role in changing our anatomy.
This paper offers a brief summary of key discover-
ies in the fossil record followed by a discussion of be-
havioral characteristics defining modern humans and their
emergence through time. This is followed by a descrip-
tion of the evidence documenting the development of
archaic, Neanderthal, and modern humans, tracing the
evolution of key behaviors from 600 kya to 40 kya (thou-
sands of years ago). Finally, the evidence for the role of
Africa in the gradual evolution of distinctly modern hu-
man behaviors is argued as the paper concludes.
The Fossil Record of Human Evolution
Charles Darwin in his 1871 book, The Descent of Man,
located the likely origination of humans in Africa due to
the geographic distribution and comparable anatomy of
the chimpanzee and gorilla. Other early scholars, how-
ever, thought that our two most distinctive anatomical
features, our large brains and our two-legged gait, had
evolved together and that these changes had happened in
Europe. In Darwin’s time, only a few fossils of Nean-

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

2. Key understandings:
• There is no clear consensus on the evolutionary history of
the hominidae family lineage.
– Contributors: Incomplete fossil record of hominids, no new
discoveries and some species are known only from partial
specimens or fragments of bone
• Due to lack of fossil records, there is disagreement on the
actual total number of hominid species (currently, there
are 18 species recognized as hominid)
• This presentation will begin with a brief history of the
beginning of life during the tertiary and quaternary and
then jump to the start of the era where hominids were first
documented as a species. Again, there is much
disagreement around the when, who and what, so many
resources are used to recant the evolution to current day
homo sapiens in this report.
Monroe, Wicander (2009, 2006)
3. What does it mean?
• Hominid – the group consisting of all modern and extinct Great
Apes (that is, modern humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-
utans plus all their immediate ancestors).
• Hominin – the group consisting of modern humans, extinct
human species and all our immediate ancestors (including
members of the genera homo,
Australopithecus,Paranthropus and Ardipithecus
‘Hominid’ and ‘hominin’ are derived from names used in the
scientific classification of apes (including humans). By international
convention, certain word endings are used for specific taxons or
levels within this classification. For example, ‘family’ names always
end in ‘-idae’ (Hominidae), ‘subfamily’ names end in ‘inae’
(Homininae) and ‘tribe’ (1) names end in ‘ini’ (Hominini). These
formal names are then abbreviated to give the common names
hominid, hominine and hominin respectively.

6. Did we evolve from monkeys?
• It is commonly believed amongst many that humans did
not evolve from monkeys for various reasons. Some
religious and some base their belief on scientific data.
Scientific data shows that humans are more closely
related to modern apes than to monkeys; however we
didn't evolve from apes, either.
• Humans share a common ancestor with modern African
apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe
this common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. At
some point after, the species diverged into two separate
lineages.
• One of these lineages ultimately evolved into gorillas and
chimps, and the other evolved into early human ancestors
called hominids, in the scientific classification family,
hominidae.
Frequently Asked Questions About Evolution. (2001), PBS
7. Primate Evolution Tree
Since the earliest hominid species diverged from the ancestor we share with modern
African apes, there have been 18 identified different species of these humanlike creatures.
Many of these hominid species are close relatives, but not human ancestors. Most went
extinct without another species emerging. Some of the extinct hominids known today, they
are almost certainly direct ancestors of Homo sapiens. While the total number of species
that existed and the relationships among them is still unknown, the picture becomes
clearer as new fossils are found.

10. Bone structure comparisons
Chimpanzee Australopithecus africanus Homo sapiens
Another evolutionary trend in humans is the hip bone. Chimpanzees have
their hip bone elongated and directed forward, this is why they cannot walk
like us, while our hip bone is directed upward. This is how scientists recognize
if some homo fossil was bipedal or a quadruped. When we look at the hip
bone for an older human, we can see also a transformation in this trend. The
illustration in the middle is the same bone structure as “Lucy“. Lucy is an
Australopithecus estimated to have lived 3.2 million years ago.(more info on Lucy slide 14).
11. Pelvis Comparison
Credit: Credit: Zina Deretsky, National
Science Foundation
Three sets of pelvic bones (both a side view and top view) are shown, along with the approximate
size of full-term fetus they could handle. On the left is the pelvis and baby of "Lucy“ (more info about
Lucy in slide 14). In the middle is the newly discovered pelvis of 1.2 million year old Homo erectus, and
on the right is the pelvis and baby of a modern day female human being, or Homo sapiens.
Homo erectus was previously thought to produce babies with relatively small brain capacity. However
the discovery of the pictured pelvis has shown that they were actually capable of birthing babies with
a cranial circumference very close to the lower end of the range of our own species. The Homo
erectus shown could have produced a baby with a cranial circumference of 318 mm, while modern
day babies vary from 320 to 370 mm.
Detsky, Z. (2011)
13. Australopithecus anamensis (aka ramidus)
During my research, I found that A. anamensis was also known as A.
ramidus and were so close in design to A. afarensis, that it was hard to
distinguish between them. However, it is believed that Ardi cannot be a
common ancestor of Chimpanzees and humans.
Ardi (ARA-VP-6/500) is the designation
of the fossilized skeletal remains of a
female Ardipithecus ramidus, an early
human-like species 4.4 million years old.
It is the most complete early hominid
specimen, with most of the skull, teeth,
pelvis, hands and feet
The canine teeth of A. ramidus are smaller, and
equal in size between males and females. This
suggests reduced male-to-male conflict, pair-
bonding, and increased parental investment.
Researchers infer from the form of Ardi's pelvis
and limbs and the presence of her opposable big
toe that she was a facultative biped: bipedal
when moving on the ground, but quadrupedal
when moving about in tree branches. Ardi had a
more primitive walking ability than later hominids,
and could not walk or run for long distances. The
teeth suggest she was an omnivore, and are
more generalized than those of modern apes.
Ardi, Wiki
14. Australopithecus afarensis
Australopithecus afarensis is an extinct hominid
that lived between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago.
A. afarensis was slender in build, like the
younger Australopithecus africanus. It is thought
that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus
Australopithecus and the genus Homo, which
includes the modern human species, Homo
sapiens. The most famous fossil is the partial
skeleton named Lucy (3.2 million years old)
found by Donald Johanson and colleagues, who,
in celebration of their find, played the Beatles
song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds over and
over.
AL 288-1 (Lucy)
(Australopithecus)
The first A. afarensis skeleton was discovered on November 24, 1974 near Hadar in Ethiopia by Tom Gray in the
company of Donald Johanson, as part of a team involving Maurice Taieb, Yves Coppens and Tim White in
the Middle Awash of Ethiopia's Afar Depression.
Australopithecus afarensis,Wiki
15. Australopithecus Afracinus
Australopithecus africanus was an early
hominid, an australopithecine, who lived
between 2–3 million years ago in the Pliocene.
In common with the older Australopithecus
afarensis, A. africanus was slenderly built, or
gracile, and was thought to have been a direct
ancestor of modern humans. Fossil remains
indicate that A. africanus was significantly more
like modern humans than A. afarensis, with a
more human-like cranium permitting a larger
brain and more humanoid facial features. A.
africanus has been found at only four sites in
southern Africa — Taung (1924), Sterkfontein
(1935), Makapansgat (1948) and Gladysvale
(1992).

16. Homo habilis - 1.5 to 2 mya Homo erectus - 1.6 mya
Homo habilis, "handy man," is so called because
of the wealth of tools that have been found with its
fossils. The average H. habilis brain was
considerably larger than the
average Australopithecus brain. The brain shape
is also more humanlike. The bulge of Broca's
area, essential for speech, is visible in one H.
habilis brain cast, indicating that the species may
have been capable of rudimentary speech. The
average H. habilis individual is thought to have
been about five feet tall and 100 pounds,
although females may have been smaller.
Homo Erectus
The evolution of an arch in the foot indicates a spring
ligament in the foot, which increases the efficiency of
walking by storing some of the energy from the falling
weight of the walker in each step, and then returning
it up the leg on the rebound. The big toe is also
aligned with the other toes, something not found in
earlier ancestors and other primates. Its large size is
necessary to absorb the walker's weight as the foot
rolls forward and then lifts off the ground before the
next step.

Neanderthal (left) and sapiens (right) skeletons
Homo Neanderthalis was the last surviving hominid besides
modern humans, homo sapiens sapiens. Noting that
Neanderthals’ brain cavities were larger than our own, many
paleontologists and anthropologists argue their intelligence was
comparable to our own. Given the overlap between both
genetic compatibility and shared habitat, there has always been
intense debate as to whether or not the two human subspecies
ever mated; now, the evidence it tilting towards “yes.” Svante
Pääbo, a palaeogeneticist at the Max Planck Institute in
Leipzig, Germany, heads a team which is sequencing the
Neanderthal genome.
Being the oldest known modern humans
(Homo sapiens) in Europe, the Cro-
Magnon, meaning ‘Great Cave’, were from
the outset linked to the well-known
Lascaux cave paintings and the
Aurignacian culture whose remains were
well known from southern France and
Germany. As additional remains of early
modern humans were discovered in
archaeological sites from Western Europe
and elsewhere, and dating techniques
improved in the early 20th century, new
finds were added to the taxonomic
classification. Loring (1996)Bento(2010)

early modern human Homo sapiens sapiens

the background, at far left, men are using spears to

around 90, 000 years ago towards the end of the
Paleolithic era (750, 000-15, 000 years ago). Early
Homo sapiens sapiens made many specialized
tools, spears and needles. By about 10, 000 years
ago agricultural villages started to develop. This
marked the start of the Neolithic period or new
stone age.
Women farm workers near Ghanzi,
Botswana, still go into the bush to
gossip and snack on wild plants.
Gathering once provided 70 percent of
the Bushman diet, but ancient
scrubland has been converted to
cattle ranches. Now government relief
provides the bulk of the people's food.
