The "dark Matter" Of Modern Human Origins | John Hawks Weblog
John Hawkes weblog covering the interesting issues in paleoanthropology that are not well covered by the mainstream science press.

Extractions: Skip to Navigation john hawks weblog paleoanthropology, genetics, and evolution Saturday March pm I'm just looking through the January/February 2008 Evolutionary Anthropology , which is all about modern human origins in Africa. The special issue resulted from a conference at Stony Brook, along with a few additions to round out the topic. I'll have some things to say about these articles, but one thing struck me. I'll describe the problem: Dan Lieberman's paper, "Speculations about the selective basis for modern human cranial form," discusses five categories of functional requirements that might have been involved in the evolution of the "modern" human cranial anatomy. Each of these imposes distinctive requirements on the form of the head not all of which are fully understood but all of which changed in ways that parallel the basic changes in cranial form of the Late Pleistocene. But Tim Weaver and Charles Roseman's paper, "New developments in the genetic evidence for modern human origins," claims that the modern human cranial anatomy originated by genetic drift, without any substantial selection:

Extractions: Skip to Navigation john hawks weblog paleoanthropology, genetics, and evolution Monday January pm I 'm an anthropologist, and I study the bones and genes of ancient humans. I was trained as a paleoanthropologist. ``Paleoanthropology'' is more than a speciality within anthropology, or biology. It is an integrated study involving methods and insights from many fields. Unlike many paleoanthropologists, my study extends across the entire span of human evolution, the last 6 million years, as I examine the genetic and environmental causes that made the foundation of our origins. What does it mean to be a paleoanthropologist? To use evidence from the fossil record, we must be trained in human anatomy especially bone anatomy, or osteology. We have to know the anatomical comparisons between humans and other primates, and the way these anatomies relate to habitual behaviors. The social and ecological behaviors of primates vary extensively in response to their unique ecological circumstances. Understanding the relationship of anatomy, behavior, and environment gives us a way to interpret ancient fossils and place them in their environmental context. Ancient environments were not the same as the ones we can explore today. These environments included different plants and animals, and they underwent large climatic shifts over time. Learning about the environmental context of human evolution. This is the subject matter of geology and paleontology, which are also essential to understanding the chronology of events in the past.

Extractions: Reprinted in electronic form by permission. If the data in Genesis 4 are correlated with the cultural setting of the Neolithic Revolution in the ancient Near East about 8000 to 7500 B.C., then the biblical representation of Adam as Cain's immediate father suggests that Adam and Eve lived only about 10,000 years ago. The fossil record of anatomically modern humans, however, extends at least 100,000 years before the present. There are at least three solutions to this dilemma. All three alternative solutions pose difficult exegetical or theological challenges that result either in a refinement of the doctrine of original sin or a significant departure from traditional historical readings of Genesis 2-4 Davis A. Young, professor of geology at Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Michigan, examines and evaluates these solutions from both a scientific and biblical-theological perspective.
Introduction To Paleoanthropology

http://middleawash.berkeley.edu/middle_awash/Intro_paleoanth.php

Extractions: Ethiopia has the most complete record of human origins of any country, with a record of fossils and artifacts documenting humanity's evolutionary history from our earliest ancestors to the first members of our species, Homo sapiens These antiquities come from many important sites and together they constitute the most comprehensive record of human origins and evolution on Earth. One of these study areas in Ethiopia is the Middle Awash. It is important to realize that modern paleoanthropology is not a search for human ancestors. Rather, it is a search for knowledge about our biological and technological origins and evolution. It is a search for every clue, no matter how small, about the now vanished worlds of the past occupied by our own ancestors, as well as all the ancestors of all the other plants and animals that make up our world today. Paleoanthropological research is therefore enormously complex, time-consuming, and detailed. It is conducted by many researchers, at many universities, museums, and other institutions worldwide.

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/recent.html

Extractions: These pages use a fairly conservative naming system. In recent years a number of changes have been suggested in the classification of hominid fossils. Many people are now using the genus name Paranthropus , originally given to robustus , to refer to the robust australopithecines ( robustus boisei , and aethiopicus ). This change makes sense if all these species form a clade (all of the species descended from a common ancestor) but it is not yet known if this is the case. Here is a selection of recent discoveries and other developments in paleoanthropology: Apr 2010: Two partial skeletons assigned to a new species, Australopithecus sediba , were discovered at Malapa in South Africa in 2008. It is claimed by its finders to be transitional between A. africanus and Homo and a possible candidate for the ancestor of Homo Oct 2009: A partial skeleton of Ardipithecus ramidus which was discovered in late 1994 was finally released after 15 years of excavation, restoration and analysis (White et al. 2009; Gibbons 2009). It was bipedal on the ground, though not as well-adapted to it as the australopithecines, and quadrupedal in the trees. The journal Science has published a collection of 11 papers on the skeleton and its environment.

Dr. David Pilbeam is a paleoanthropologist who received his Ph.D. at Yale University and Dr. Pilbeam is presently Professor of Social Sciences at Harvard University and Curator of Paleontology at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. In addition, Dr. Pilbeam served as an advisor for the Kenya government regarding the creation of an international institute for the study of human origins. Dr. Pilbeam wrote a review of Richard Leakey's book Origins in the journal American Scientist and he stated the following: ...perhaps generations of students of human evolution, including myself, have been flailing about in the dark; that our data base is too sparse, too slippery, for it to be able to mold our theories. Rather the theories are more statements about us and ideology than about the past. Paleoanthropology reveals more about how humans view themselves than it does about how humans came about. But that is heresy. Lord Solly Zuckerman Dr. Pilbeam also wrote:

Studying hominid fossil evidence, such as petrified bones and footprints, as well as artifacts such as tools , and even incorporating knowledge of current primate species, paleoanthropologists essentially study the origin of human beings Of great interest to this field is the theory of human evolution , including the pattern and process of evolution, or the search for the "missing link" between the apes and humans. Many paleoanthropologists have made their name through finding fossils purported to be of such an intermediate species, such as Davidson Black , who discovered " Peking Man Eugene Dubois with " Java Man Richard Leakey and his "Turkana Boy," and Donald Johanson who discovered the 3.2 million year old Australopithecine fossil " Lucy." Beyond the excitement of finding such examples, these scientists also debate the geographical origins of humankind, with each find supporting or disproving the various theories. Historically, a major source of controversy has been the process by which humans have developed, whether by a force with a random component (natural selection) or by the creative force of a Creator God . Abrahamic religions believe in a single-point origin of modern humans, beginning with an "

Paleoanthropologists study early hominids through fossil remains, traces, or impressions of ancient life; evidence such as preserved bones, tools, or footprints. Typically, a team is composed of scientists, students, and local workers, representing diverse backgrounds and academic fields. The science arguably began in the late 1800s when important discoveries occurred which led to the study of human evolution. The discovery of the Neanderthal in Germany
