we must look back to the 1980s, when the debate over the rise ofH. sapienswas heating up. Examining the fossil data, paleoanthropologists agreed that an earlier member of our genus,Homo erectus, arose in Africa some two million years ago and began spreading out of ...
These specimens display a combination of primitive and derived morphological features that is different from the combination of features found in other species in the genus Homo (including Homo floresiensis and Homo sapiens) and warrants their attribution to a new species, which we name Homo luzon...
How Homo sapiens Became the Ultimate Invasive SpeciesCurtis W. Marean
An archaic form of Homo sapiens, the forerunner of anatomically modern humans, evolved between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago. Recent DNA evidence suggests that several haplotypes (groups of genes within an organism that have been inherited together from a single parent) of Neanderthal origin are...
Look up Homo sapiens in the “Red List" ofthreatened species of the International Union for theConversation of Nature (IUCN) and you will read :Listed as Least Concern as the species is verywidely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing,and there are no major threats resulting in an ...
A We often like to think that our species, Homo sapiens, meaning"wise man" in Latin, are special There are many competing theories as to how and why we humans develop our unique abilities. Here are a few of well-known ideas.We make tools.This ide a suggests that we are unique among...
Are Homo sapiens unique compared to other species?Question:Are Homo sapiens unique compared to other species?The Human Animal:Humans are the only extant species of the genus Homo, which makes us rather distantly related to even our closest genetic relatives. The human species has been around for...
On such a view, being a member of the species Homo sapiens is morally relevant by virtue of instantiating membership in some biological species. If anything, speciescentrism might not yet be a general enough concept to capture some of the ways in which biological taxonomy is involved in our ...

When our species (Homo sapiens) first evolved on the Earth, the odds were well against our survival. As small fish in a big pond, we fiercely competed with animals that were already well adapted to their environments. Clearly, we won the struggle to survive. From a population of 1 billion...
