EVOLUTION AND MEDIA NATURALNESS: A LOOK AT E-COMMUNICATION THROUGH A DARWINIAN THEORETICAL LENS Ned Kock Lehigh University/Temple University Bethlehem, PA/Philadelphia, PA USA nfk2@Lehigh.edu Abstract Modern theories of human evolution converge on the belief that our brain has been designed to cope with problems that occurred intermittently in our evolutionary past. Evidence suggests that, during over 99 percent of the evolutionary process leading to the emergence of our species, our

In this paper I am going to talk about the first hominids. These subject attracts me a lot since they are the origin of human beings, that is, us. We may have evolved a lot over the years, but it is clear that we still share very important characteristics with the first hominids. Regarding the theory of the Big Bang, the great explosion that created matter, energy, time and space, therefore, the origin of the universe about 13,500 million years ago; or the formation of the planet Earth about 3.8

Archaeological Anthropology TOPIC: Human evolution and the bow & arrow Summary Archaeologists study the material remains left by our ancestors in order to interpret cultural variation and changes in the past, more over it focuses on how human evolution. Human beings construct niches by inventing ways of using their relationships with on another and with the physical environment to make a living. As an example, referring to the subsistence strategies, we may tell that it can be divided into

J.H Human Geography 1101 Becoming Human Response For many year there has been a worldwide controversy on the actual facts of evolution. Were we derived from ape? Did Neanderthal play an essential part if any in the culture that we have today? These are just some of the questions anthropologist and scientist have been trying to answer for ages. There are some disputable theories and some indisputable theories; you must come to a conclusion of your own. So we must take

An Analysis of Lewin’s Force-Field Theory of Change Management and Organizational Behavior Abstract This core content of this research is concentrated around Kurt Lewin’s Force-Field Theory of Change and how it affected the landscape of the business word and how it applies to the world we live and operate in currently. Many of theories and principles that are generally accepted in the business world today derive from some of the principles outlined by Lewin and his research. His work has been

Human beings' partnership with dogs has been thought to have originated approximately 14,000 years ago, based on fossilized remains. Recently, a sophisticated genetic analysis of 27 different populations of wolves and dogs from 67 breeds has shown that the origin of dogs is very old - perhaps 100,000 years. Researchers used analyses of mitochondrial DNA to determined that dogs are really gray wolves. They also determined that dog-ancestor-wolves originated between 60,000 and 135,000 years ago and

the coffin, linking humans to apes by a common ancestor3. Prior to this find, the only evidence of transitional forms was the ancient Java man, the Heidelberg jaw, and Neanderthals1. Since the publication of Charles Darwin’s, On the Origin of Species, British anthropologist had been desperately searching for the remains of a transitional form that would simultaneously prove the theory of descent from an ape like ancestor, and show that Britain had played an integral role in human evolution4,5. The

The human species is very complex. Individuals have a phenotype specific to themselves. With all the variety within the inhibitors of the Earth, the direction of evolution will continue to change and the species 10,000 years from now will have similar difficulty in specifying us that is Homo sapiens sapiens. In modern day however, the main question paleoanthropologists face is: “how much variation is needed to declare a fossil a new species?”(Rowe 2015). This is a rather broad question that is very

hominin, known now as Homo naledi. Popular consensus in the scientific community have seen H. naledi’s uncovering as a highly prominent discovery, one that will have potentially large ramifications on our current understanding of humanity and its evolution throughout time. The focus of this paper aims to discuss the current research that is being done on H. naledi, specifically its morphology and its intelligence. In addition, the criticism of H. naledi is discussed, and why some in the scientific
