Landscape Photo – National Geographic Your Shot

April 6, 2016 antonio Leave a comment

About an hour driving up an untamed mountain, we were rewarded with the most spectacular views of wild Idahoan landscapes in every direction. This was one of the most memorable moments of my life.

  • Australopithecus bahrelghazali es una especie fósil de homínido hallada en 1995 por Michel Brunet en Koro Toro, Chad, representado por una mandíbula con siete dientes. Fue apodado Abel. El yacimiento ha sido datado en 3,58 ± 0,27 millones de años de antigüedad. Se considera que representa una línea de Australopithecus distinta de la que evolucionó hacia Homo.

  • A South African scientist shows a tooth of <i>Australopithecus sediba</i> hidden in a rock excavated from an archaeological site three years ago. Also pictured is a copy of a skull of the same species that was discovered at the Malapa site in the Cradle of Humankind in 2009.

  • Homo habilis fossil skull. These predate homo erectus, living between 1.4 to 2.4 million years ago. Note that the teeth are not like modern apes and monkeys but like modern humans instead, giving more evidence (i.e. on top of bipedalism) that this was a human ancestor and not an early ape.
  • A New View of Evolution by sciencemag:  This is a 1.77-million-year-old complete adult skull (braincase volume: 546 cubic centimeters) of early Homo from the site of Dmanisi, Georgia. Together with the fossilized bones of four additional individuals discovered in close proximity, the skull indicates that populations of early Homo comprised a wider range of morphological variation than traditionally assumed, which implies a single evolving lineage... #Science #Human_Evolution
