RELECTION #4
What I have learned is that the first human evolved in Africa about 2 million years ago. The earliest humans are called Homo habilis which means handy man because of its contact with tools that they used to survive. They used tools such as the hammer stone, flake scraper, flake, and heavy duty scraper. These species share some characteristics one being the bipedal locomotion meaning walking upright. Mitochondrial DNA is transmitted only by females. But a more clearly nuclear DNA is called chromosomal DNA. Where as in today’s society, they use this to determine if a male is the father of a child in many situations. Then there was a conflict on the Mitochondrial DNA because the female eggs carry many mitochondria while the sperm contribute no mitochondria to the new baby. This can be a big problem in society because without a male sperm contribution, no baby can be made. So physically when the female have sex with males and the males disperse their sperm inside of a female, we will never know who the baby belong to. On the other hand, the chromosomal DNA showed a clearer analysis from the cell surface receptor on white blood cells that identifies the AIDS located on human chromosome 12.Then with this solution they came up with all the answers concerning humans. Humans and Apes share many characteristics that are very similar, Apes have a skull base of humans also a few teeth and little similar bones which characterized that human descended from ape like ancestors. Ape species are small brained when they are compared to human species that specialize in eating tough plant material and are considered vegetarians because their brains are small and they have to maintain their brains in a healthy function. As for humans we are considered omnivores (meat eaters).Since our brain is way much larger we can eat more meats and plants than compared to Apes. I truly believe that we share and have several characteristics as Apes that it’s scary to me. The information presented to me in these readings leaves my opinion that we as humans evolved around apes in several types of aspects. Such as bones structure, the texture of our skin, and hair type to our color. If we all evolved around Apes I have to question how did people of white race get their skin color pigment? Why woudlnt we question God when people say that God made all humans and we evolved around Apes. Does this means that God made APes first and we were born from Ape ancestors.
