Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Paleoanthropology , which combines the disciplines of paleontology and physical anthropology , is the study of ancient humans as found in fossil hominid evidence such as petrifacted bones and footprints. The science arguably began in the late 19th century when important discoveries occurred which led to the study of human evolution . The discovery of the Neanderthal in Germany Thomas Huxley 's Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature , and Charles Darwin 's The Descent of Man were all important to early paleoanthropological research. The modern field of paleoanthropology began in the 19th century with the discovery of " Neanderthal man" (the eponymous skeleton was found in 1856, but there had been finds elsewhere since 1830), and with evidence of so-called cave men . The idea that humans are similar to certain great apes had been obvious to people for some time, but the idea of the biological evolution of species in general was not legitimized until after Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859.

Evidence of migration routes See also Paleoanthropology in CogWeb's bibliography Introduction: The Hominid Family top The terminology of our immediate biological family is currently in flux; for an overview, see a current hominoid taxonomy . The term "hominin" refers to any genus in the human tribe (Hominini), of which Homo sapiens (modern man) is the only living specimen. We don't have to go too far back into the past, however, to find relatives (cf. "We Were Not Alone," SciAm Jan 2000). Discounting abominable snowmen, yeti, bigfoot, and other merely rumored possible members of our family, we know that only 28,000 years ago Neanderthals still thrived in Europe. More surprisingly, recent evidence (see below ) suggests that a member of even longer standing, Homo erectus , who first appears in the fossil record nearly two million years ago, may have continued to inhabit the island of Java as recently as ten thousand years ago, or into historical times.

Home 2011 Dates TBA The Institute of Human Origins in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, in conjunction with the Center for Global Education Services at Arizona State University, offers a field school in paleoanthropology at Hadar, Ethiopia. This region of the Afar Triangle is one of the richest in the world for middle Pliocene hominin fossils. The Hadar site contains approximately a million years of human evolution within its deposits. Australopithecus afarensis material has been recovered from more than 3.4 to 3.0 million years ago. The A. afarensis sites include the Lucy Locality (AL-288), the First Family Locality (AL-333) and the two adult skull localities (AL-444 and AL-822). Early Homo material from ~ 2.33 million years ago includes the locality of AL-666. In addition, stone tools have been recovered from sediments older than 2.33 million years.

And why not? Neanderthals have had a long history of being derided as the dumb jocks of the humanoid evolutionary line. They had the brawn, but they lacked the brains. While they certainly didn’t have the cognitive capacity that we do, they weren’t as dumb as all that. His post is a bit long, but it’s worth it if you’re into Neanderthals as much as I am.

Haemotaphonomy. The "strange" World Of Bloodstains' Cells.
Brief overview of research on red blood cell morphology in bloodstains and its application to archaeology and paleoanthropology.
http://www.angelfire.com/linux/haemotaphonomy/index.html

Extractions: Haemotaphonomy or hemotaphonomy (from the Greek haima for blood, taphos for burial, and nomos for law) is the science that deals with the cytomorphology of the blood cells in bloodstains. This term was proposed by the author in a paper published in 1992 in Forensic Science International Because the object of study of haemotaphonomy is the cytomorphology of the blood cells in bloodstains , its subjects of study are bloodstained specimens . The method of study of haemotaphonomy is the analysis of images in chiaroscuro obtained via scanning electron microscopy. Beyond the basic-science point of view, applied h aemotaphonomy seeks the use of bloodstains as evidence, and must not be confused with bloodstain pattern analysis. Historical antecedents and genesis of haemotaphonomy The most abundant blood corpuscles are the erythrocytes. These cells were yet observed during the last half of the 17th century by early optical microscopists, such as Giovanni Alfonso Borelli, Jan Swammerdam, Marcello Malpighi and Anton van Leeuwenhoek. The occurrence of (at least cytomorphological) preservation of anucleate, mammalian erythrocytes in bloodstains has been reported even in Olduwan palaeolithic tools from Sterkfontein Cave (South Africa), assigned to be

Please consider supporting this site Jump to: navigation search Homo erectus Paleoanthropology is a specialized branch of Paleontology and physical anthropology involved with the study of ancient human beings . Paleoanthropolgists are those investigating the origin and subsequent evolution of humanity by examining fossil remains and other ancient evidence. Mainstream anthropologists and archaeologists believe that humans began domesticating animals and plants in the Middle East about 10-12,000 years ago. The earliest known civilization, the Sumerians, developed in Mesopotamia about 7,000 years ago, after humans had developed agriculture sufficiently. This is the same location where many of the early Biblical stories in Genesis are set. Biblical History ... See Also Evolution-based paleoanthropology holds that humanity evolved from ape-like ancestors, and therefore frequently includes the study of living and extinct primates as part of its study. By contrast, creation-based paleoanthropology holds that humanity was created by God as described in the book of Genesis , and was formed in the " image of God Genesis 1:1-31 The " Image of God " is interpreted by most creationists as being allegorical; that we are made in his "Spiritual Image." A few, however, believe that the phrase "Image of Elohim" was meant quite literally.
