Considering SE Asia: Homo Florensiesis
How did the discovery of Homo florensiensis impact the understanding of human evolution? Be sure to provide specific details from the activity in your response.
The Homo florensiensis is a late survivor of homo erectus and it is very small. It is very different because it does not resemble the microphalics. It has eight different specimen and it proved that human evolution might be different than what people thought. It proved that not all organisms have to evolve the same because some will evolve very differently, such as the homo florensiesis.
An evolutionary process that results from long-term isolation on a small island with limited food resources and a lack of predators. Pygmy elephants on Flores, now extinct, showed the same adaptation. The smallest known species of Homo and Stegodon elephant are both found on the island of Flores, Indonesia.
The discovery of Homo florsiensis has a major impact on the study of human evolution. Primarily, the fact that human ancestors were subject, as well as any other animal, to the island pygmy phenomenon. Also, the discovery of a second homo erectus offshoot that could have quite possibly coexisted with modern humans on the island of Flores.
The discovery of Homo floresiensis has impacted the theory of evolution because it provided a new basis to base evolution off of. It had several unique characteristics that made it different from other human ancestors. It had a very short stature and a smaller brain. This allowed people to better understand the theory of evolution.
The discovery of Homo Floresiensis had a major impact on the theory of evolution due to the new information that it provided scientists, such as the short stature and smaller brain. Altogether, this discovery connects the evolution of human kind to the ancestors of other species like, the island pygmy situation.
The discovery of Homo Florensiensis has impacted the theory of evolution significantly due to the new information it provided for scientists.It showed how early humans had a much shorter stature and a smaller brain. This proves that humans have evolved over time.
The discovery of Homo Floresiensis had an impact on evolution because it provided new and better information for scientists. It provided information about the brain and short stature. This discovery connected more common ancestors for humans, because of the brain size and capacity.
The discover of Homo Florensiensis affected the understanding of human evolution because the information it brought up to the surface for scientists to use. It showed how earlier humans were much shorter and less intelligent. These discoveries showed that evolution happened over time.
The discovery helped because scientists had more support of their theory of evolution because the small skull shows an older species. Not a completely different species but a kind of human, one that fills the gap in the timeline of evolution. The bones they found were smaller but they resembled humans and it was not a diseased human being but a new species. It is like a new piece to put in the puzzle of evolution and history.
The Homo florensienis is unique in terms of its smaller skull and short structure. This provided scientists with new information and made them rethink the process of human evolution. It also proved that not all organisms will evolve the same way, which was a new perspective to scientists and evolution.
The discovery of Homo Floresiensis has impacts our understanding of human evolution greatly. One, we know that change in size can come from a possibly better reproduction rate. Some scientists believe that this species came about because its short counterparts could reproduce better, and following the laws of darwinism, the population said towards tis tendency of short height. Two, the discovery of Homo Floresiensis stresses the importance of where an organism lives and how they evolve. Some species become small because of lack of nutrition, while others become enlarged because of an abundance of necessary resources. Lastly, the discovery of Homo Floresiensis informs the scientific community that there have been many variations to the human species in the past. This discovery simply adds one more that the know about to further prove their evolutionary theory of the human race into todays Homo Sapiens. The smaller skull with a small brain and less intelligence eventually led to the big skull with a large brain and great intelligence.
Homo Floresiensis discovery supports the theory of evolution. The discovery led to a further understanding of Human evolution. The terms of its skull and short structure is very unique. Because of those structure, it is possible that people were less intelligent and smaller in size. These theories just further support evolution
The discovery of the Homo floresiensis alters our general understanding of evolution because it's a newly found species that existed within the last million years. It's different from the species of humans that we already know about because it's smaller in size. Also, scientists discovered that it survived as a Homo erectus, which scientists believed were extinct before this time. This new species contradicts the dates set up for the life of Homo erectus and even questions whether this species lived during the time of Homo sapiens. It also makes scientists question how the Homo floresiensis arrived on the Flores island if its brain capacity was much smaller than the other human species'.
Homo Floresiensis gave us much more knowledge on evolution because it provides another species that was our ancestors long ago. It is thought to be highly unlikely that Homo Sapiens and Homo Floreseiensis lived together or at the same time period at all. The discovery of this species gave scientists crucial information to develop the theory of evolution.
This discovery of Homo floresiensis supports and gives us an understanding of parallel evolution to Homo sapiens. Evidence of human interaction with this species shows that these two species were once alive at the same time. The evidence that Homo floresiensis had used complex tools and were able to create and control fires gives us a better understanding of the Homo genus as a whole. Their similar features to that of humans gives us evidence to the theory of evolution.
The discovery of homo floresiensis supports the theory of evolution greatly. Around the same time as modern humans started to come about, this new branch of humans was very similar, but smaller in body structure and brain size. Despite their smaller brain sizes they could control tools and make fire.
The discovery of the Homo Floresiensis helps us to understand the evolutionary process and supports it because of all of the new information it gives us. The Homo Floresiensis is an ancestor ofmodern humans. The difference is that they have a smaller body and brain than humans do.
