GENERAL ANTHROPOLOGY- "An Ancestor to Call Our Own" by Kate Wong

Topic:Discuss the primary fossil species included in the article (ie. S. tchadensis, O. tugenensis, A. ramidus, A. anemensis). What are the challenges to the claim that S. tchadensis is a fossil hominid in our family lineage? What type of environment did bipedalism first arise (perhaps) - savanna, woodland, etc.? What evidence do we have to support this? Did our family lineage start off as a bush or a tree? What are the arguments surrounding this question?

An Ancestor to Call Our Own

This article by Kate Wong is about who or who is the origin of our oldest ancestors. Paleontologist Michael Brunet discovered fossil hominids in Chad, one of the African countries. This hominid fossil was called "tchandensis". This fossil is a turning point that leads to the separation of similarity between humans and apes. Because the hominid fossil found resembles the bone structure of modern man. It is different from the skeletal structure of monkeys.

Wong mentioned this discovery led researchers to conduct even more intensive research on the African continent. Researchers have discovered many new fossil hominids in the African region. One of them is a 4-million-year-old hominid fossil called "a.anamensis". Wong mentions that this discovery had ancestors similar to Lucy's genus. (Lucy is a hominid fossil that resembles the human species and proves that the human species first appeared).

In recent years, researchers have discovered ancient hominid fossils called "orrorin tugenensis" and "ardipithecus ramidus kadabba". Wong talks about the similarity of bone structures in these fossils to modern humans. This is an important proof that humans may have originated from humanoids. Wong mentions that the similarity in the bone and body structure that fixes the hip of a modern man walking on two legs also exists in hominid fossils called "orrorin tugenensis". It is an indication that this hominids is walking on two legs. However, Wong adds that most of hominids lives may have passed on a tree, and that they could have stood on two legs only when they landed on the ground. Wong, another species, "a.r.kadabba" bone structure, walking on two legs of hominid fossils have been understood that stated.

Natural living conditions, may have reached out higher food, may have made them stand on two legs because of the desire to better protect their backs from sunlight and better visibility over the tall grass in the African savannah. In another theory, Wong mentions that standing on two legs can use his hands to gather more food and to be more successful in reproduction. Wong mention some hominid dog-like fossils (such as the claim that humans evolotion in monkeys) humans may have evolved. She states that such fossils have large canine teeth, but that these teeth have been lost as a result of fights, and that these teeth evolotion in the form of canine teeth from hominids to modern humans. Wong says that this claimed some of researchers is also that the origin of humans evolved from dogs. Wong argues; is one of the monkeys of humanity? from dogs? or that there are a lot of claims about whether it came from hominids, and none of them gives a definite result. Wong argues that mankind's evolutionary process resembles a bush, and when fossils of new hominid beings are discovered, the bushes will grow even further and reach the oldest human family lineage. Isn't mankind already looking for the roots of his own reality in most of his time?
