#Homo habilis

[zi-olan]

any time i hear about some advancement or discovery in physics, whether it's astronomical or subatomic, im struck by this sense that, despite all our technological progress, our methods for figuring that stuff out has not changed much in the past two or three million years: "let's hit these two rocks together, i wanna see what happens"

Here’s a seafaring tale like no other. Did Homo floresiensis ancestors embark on an accidental island adventure? Did they travel to Flores in self-made nests? Anthropologists explain the latest theory of how natural or self-made rafts and ocean currents might have shaped the unique history of these diminutive hominids.

The last day of March of the mammals on day 31: Homo habilis

A “handy man” is an extinct species of archaic human from Early Pleistocene of East and South Africa about 2.8 million years ago to 1.65 million years ago.

One of the hardest ideas for humans to accept is that we are not the culmination of anything. There is nothing inevitable about our being here. It is part of our vanity as humans that we tend to think of evolution as a process that, in effect, was programmed to produce us.

In lieu of diagrams to copy, I drew the reconstructions of my ancestors ❤️

Tag yourself lmao

Edit: I did it because the outdated shitty documentary the teacher showed us made them look so unintelligent and nonhuman. I sincerely doubt neanderthals were covered in dirt with matted hair and wore badly made rags. They literally fucked with homo sapiens and made viable offspring, they were hot shit!

if the different hominins interacted with each other pt.1

Homo Habilis: Help! I'm drowning!

Homo Sapiens: Calm down. We’re only in six feet of water!

Homo Habilis: NOT ALL OF US ARE TALL

It looks as if the pace of evolutionary change accelerated all across the Old World after 800,000 years ago as ape-men entering the cold north encountered wildly different climates where random genetic mutations could flourish.*

*That said, Heidelberg Man did live in Africa as well as Europe. Some paleoanthropologists envisage a European origin followed by a spread back into Africa, but others assume that Heidelberg Man, like Homo habilis and Homo ergaster, evolved in Africa in response to local climate changes, then spread north. Bones rather like Heidelberg Man's have also been found in China, but that evidence is more disputed.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

About 1.8 million years ago East Africa's climate was getting drier and open savannas were replacing the forests where Homo habilis lived; and at just that point, new kinds of ape-men* took Handy Man's place.

*The word "ape-man" with its Tarzan-and-Jane connotations, was much favored in schoolbooks when I was young. Nowadays paleoanthropologists tend to think it condescending, but it seems to me to capture nicely the ambiguities of these prehuman hominins, and is certainly less of a mouthful.
