The potential hominid killers include Megantereon, an extinct saber-toothed cat with oversize fangs, the leopard, and spotted hyena. Archaeologists Julia Lee-Thorp and Nikolaas van der Merwe of the University of Cape Town, and paleontologist Francis Thackeray of the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria, South Africa, believe these carnivores were stalking and killing early hominids on the South African savanna 2.5 million years ago. Analysis of fossilized teeth indicates that leopards have been preying on humans and human ancestors for at least 2.5 million years. Hominids living in what is today South Africa all those years ago had to dodge not only leopards but also now-extinct predators such as saber-toothed cats and giant hyenas.

Mount Everest Expedition Where did humans come from? With the help of modern science, this deceptively simple question has brought about myriad debates regarding the origin of modern humanity. The two strongest origin theories seem incompatible, yet each continues to return evidence backing their own theory. The most recent discoveries fall on the side of those who argue the latter. The two studies, published separately by Australian and U.S. scientists, examine two types of evidence: DNA and anatomical. Both studies, say the scientists, show that modern humans could not have evolved from a single African source.

Information on the Internet about human evolution is immense. Unfortunately, it is scattered among many sources, some of the best of which science journals require costly subscriptions to read. It is regrettable also that most of the photographic evidence that is web-available is limited to skulls. Other comparative skeletal material such as the progression of pelvises, knees, hands and feet are equally interesting but are not web-available. Rather than attempt to write a textbook on the subject, I have collected from numerous web sources significant information on a number of aspects of human evolution. The box at right, for instance, has links taking you to a variety of timeline graphics. Please visit these and try to note some of the differences in the presentations. Although some species of fossil hominids are today represented by up to 500 specimens, for many there are but a few not enough, and not complete enough in some cases, to be certain as to the position within our family tree. So there is debate within paleoanthropology about the matter healthy debate that requires more evidence before consensus is reached on all points. Also, some of the timelines do not show the latest fossil discoveries and, in a few cases, two species shown in one timeline are "lumped" together in others. See also the timeline discussion below.

Introduction to Biological Anthropology: Class 16 Origin of humans: Paleontology and the first primates So far, we have seen how evolution works in general, and how it has shaped our closest relatives, the non-human primates Now we will shift gears again, and look at the direct evidence of how our own kind evolved we want to know basically two things the sequence of steps that led from some kind of animal in the past to modern humans and the evolutionary reasons for each one of those steps why would our quadrupedal ancestors evolve into bipeds? why would they develop language? ... etc. this is still an active field, with many questions left to be resolved this direct evidence comes from paleontology the study of fossilized animal and plant remains for animals, usually bones occasionally, other body parts and evidence of them usually, when an animal or plant dies, the bones and other parts of a dead animal or plant rot, weather, and decay away under some rare circumstances, bones can be preserved as fossils the most common form of fossil is formed when the organic material gradually dissolves away and is replaced by minerals that crystallize out of ground water this creates a rock in the exact shape of the bone which is then very durable, and may last long enough to be found and studied

Discusses the controversy and debate surrounding the question of the speculated origin of birds from dinosaurs. Discusses the current findings in the field and the need for additional research. Paper concludes that not only is there no current connection between the Burgess Shale deposit and the evolutionary path of our modern birds, the theories that connect modern day birds to dinosaurs will undoubtedly continue to be challenged in the future. Emphasizes that research is ongoing, however, and that the probability of identifying a clear and irrefutable association between the dinosaurs and the modern birds is more probable than improbable.

Specific DNA target sequences are bound by these transcription factors and, in turn, interact with one another on either a cooperative basis or an antagonistic basis to control expression of the gene subsets. This interaction is aided as well by extracellular signaling molecules which both control and are controlled by the transcription factors.

Hominid Species Introduction The word "hominid" refers to members of the family of humans, Hominidae, which consists of all species on our side of the last common ancestor of humans and living apes. (Some scientists use a broader definition of Hominidae which includes the great apes.) Hominids are included in the superfamily of all apes, the Hominoidea, the members of which are called hominoids. Although the hominid fossil record is far from complete, and the evidence is often fragmentary, there is enough to give a good outline of the evolutionary history of humans. The time of the split between humans and living apes used to be thought to have occurred 15 to 20 million years ago, or even up to 30 or 40 million years ago. Some apes occurring within that time period, such as Ramapithecus, used to be considered as hominids, and possible ancestors of humans. Later fossil finds indicated that Ramapithecus was more closely related to the orang-utan, and new biochemical evidence indicated that the last common ancestor of hominids and apes occurred between 5 and 10 million years ago, and probably in the lower end of that range (Lewin 1987). Ramapithecus therefore is no longer considered a hominid. The field of science which studies the human fossil record is known as paleoanthropology. It is the intersection of the disciplines of paleontology (the study of ancient lifeforms) and anthropology (the study of humans).

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON HUMAN PALEONTOLOGY Orce, Spain, 47 September 1995 From the 4th to 7th September it is taking place in Orce (Granada, Spain) an International Symposium on Human Paleontology titulated: "The Hominids and their cultural scene during the european lower and medium pleistocene". More than ten years ago it was found the famous portion of skull in Venta Micena, probably the most controversial of the last years. The last research works about this item, the study of the fractal geometry of both sagital and lambdoidean sutures confirming the human origin of that find, are going to be published in the prestigious Journal of Human evolution , giving end to the previous controversy. However, the consecuence has been to mask the high scientific value of the rest of the research at the Orce site becasue the finds of plio-cuaternary rests and lithic industry have been really countless. The last discoveries are ready to be presented to the scientific community that will be all together at Orce. Names as Y. Coppens, P.V. Tobias, F.C. Howell, J. Tixier, B. Chiarelli, G. Lowenstein, D.

Women in Paleontology Until recently, opportunities for women in science have been relatively few. The Geological Society of London perhaps the most important organization for geologists and paleontologists in the early 19th century didn't admit any women, not even as members' guests. Still, women have made significant contributions to the field. "She Sells Seashells by the Seashore" This tongue-twister has a very real inspiration. The daughter of a working class English fossil collector, Mary Anning expanded her father's business after his untimely death left the family nearly destitute in the early 19th century. With an exceptional eye for fossils, she unearthed a number of spectacular finds from sediments that were deposited during the Jurassic Period. Many of Anning's grateful customers were upper class English geologists. When hard financial times dropped Anning's sales around 1830, one of those geologists, Henry De la Beche, drew a cartoon designed to inspire interest in her finds. Named Dura antiquior ("an earlier Dorset"), this lively depiction was converted to a lithograph and sold to many members of the Geological Society of London. A commercial collector, Anning was not considered a scientist, although many scientists of the time admired her work.

Paleontology in Austrian Universities (State: 1997) Lectures in paleontology at Austrian universities have a tradition of more than 150 years; at the present time five different Austrian universities offer paleontological lectures: (1) University of Vienna, Institute for Paleontology (2) Karl Franzens-University, Graz, Institute for Geology and Paleontology (3) Leopold-Franzens-University, Innsbruck, Institute for Geology and Paleontology (4) University of Salzburg, Institute for Geology and Paleontology (5) University of Leoben, Department of Geological Sciences Only at the universities of Vienna, Graz and Innsbruck is it possible to major in paleontology. At Salzburg and Leoben, lectures in paleontology are only offered within earth science in general. University of Vienna, Institute for Paleontology The study of earth sciences at the University of Vienna is divided into different disciplines: paleontology, geology, mineralogy/crystallography, petrology, technical geology, mining geology, and - in future possibly also - geochemistry. Undergraduate studies consist of two stages, the first one (four terms) being identical for all disciplines. Paleontology is therefore a compulsory subject for all students of earth sciences. Paleontological teaching emphasizes the general principles of paleontology, and gives a basic introduction to the taxonomy of fossil faunas and floras; seminars and field trips (in different disciplines of earth science) are obligatory. For all students of earth sciences basic lectures in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, geology, mineralogy and petrology are compulsory.
