Soviet schooling as represented anthropogeny man trying to "adapt" it to the materialist theory: monkey, Pithecanthropus, Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon.University science is not at odds with the school just adds Latin terms: hominids, Homo habilis (prosimians, manufacturing simple tools), Homo erectus (Pithecanthropus, most of his life moving on two legs), Homo sapiens (Neanderthals, who observed the first religious beliefs)and Homo sapiens sapiens (Cro-Magnons, completely similar in structure to the body and brain volume modern humans).It is believed that since the Cro-Magnon man, the evolutionary development of man as a biological being stopped.
This is a simplified representation of the origin of the human race suggests that three main stages (Pithecanthropus, Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon), successive, in a period of evolving and transformed by the leaps and bounds.Thus, Marxist theory explained that the Homo habilis (ie skilled) needed free hands to make tools, so he became bipedal and evolved into Homo erectus.And the appearance of Homo sapiens, this theory explains the need to improve the tools of hunting.Thus, all three stages of ancient people considered the development of Homo sapiens sapiens, namely, our direct ancestors.
however, found remains and carbon analysis, determining their age, smash this theory.For example, skeletons of Australopithecus, Homo habilis and erectus dated one century.Also, the fossils indicate that Homo erectus, Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon were contemporaries, and in some places, coexisted next to each other.This allows scientists to suggest that Homo erectus was just a dead-end branch of evolution, and homo sapiens appeared from nowhere."The missing link" in the evolution theory is fueling the divine or cosmic origin of man.
Who is he - the Homo erectus?For the first time his remains found in Java in 1893, the same year he called Pithecanthropus.Then, in China, in 1920, the owner of an ancient skeleton named Sinanthropus - China representative of the species.Later, researchers determined that between the Chinese, Javanese, and found in 1985 in Narikotome (East Africa) skeletons a lot in common, and combined them into a group of "bipedal" or "archanthropines."
believed that he first appeared 1.65 million years ago in Africa.Over two hundred thousand years it has spread through the vast expanses of Eurasia, reached Greater Sunda Islands, in particular, Java.Homo erectus, compared with skillfully demonstrates the huge, truly revolutionary leap in the development.He could use fire, the master of primitive shelter and clothing.But most importantly, what the ancient bipedal different people from their predecessors (and contemporaries), it's the fact that they were hunters.Homo habilis was a scavenger.His weapons were intended for chopping bones of dead or killed animals other predators.This was mainly pebbles (Olduvai pebble culture), which is simply split and a sharp cleavage picked out the bone marrow.
Acheulean type of culture, which was created by Homo erectus, a complex stone tools which require spatial reasoning and some transmitted from master to student skills.Research skulls show that Homo erectus had a brain half bulkier than skilled, but less than a neanderthal.Its growth was half a meter, sometimes a meter 80 cm and weight ranged from 40 to 70 kilograms.As Pithecanthropus hunted and hunted together, we can assume the rudiments of verbal speech, although they have no chin.
Did Homo erectus special kind, or just a 'race'?Could he interbreed and produce offspring with a common Homo habilis or a Neanderthal?So far, the remains of which combine features of these three races or species not found.One way or another, but the Great Glaciation these intelligent creatures did not survive.For 20 thousand years ago and Pithecanthropus, Neanderthals descended from historical arena.When the glacier retreated, in the world there is only one kind of human - Homo sapiens sapiens.
