Challenge: How did we evolve over time and how has that affected modern society? (Standard: LE 3.1a) Homework: Print and Review Study Guide Do Now: What comes to mind when you see this picture? What differences do you see between each figure?
Also known as the common chimpanzee or chimp for short • The pelvis of the chimpanzee was formed in a way which made it easier to walk on all 4 limbs rather than us humans which walk on our two legs • The femur is designed to help function with the pelvis. The chimp’s femur is larger and adjusts better to its pelvis. • The foot of a chimpanzee was designed to grip to trees since that was part of its habitat. As we evolved, we began to lose this trait since it was not necessary anymore. • The rib cage is more expanded and is larger. Over time, evolution took its course and made the rib cage smaller to what it is now. • The skull is very protruding and has a strong brow ridge • Ninety-eight and a half percent similar Pan Troglodytes(2.2 Million Years Ago)
Known for being in the Geico commercial “It’s so easy a caveman can do it!” • Resembles more of a chimpanzee rather than a man. • Has less distinct characteristics, and is becoming more human like • Pelvis and femur have both evolved allowing humans to walk on two feet • Rib cage is still broad but has reduced slightly in size • The skull has become more human like but it still resembles a chimp and the brow ridge is still very distinct. Homo Neanderthalensis(O.5 Million Years Ago)
Has the closest characteristics to present day humans • The skull resembles the facial feature of modern humans • The pelvis has allowed them to walk properly like we do now • Foot resembles ours today • Rib cage has minimized over time and is slightly larger than the one we have today. Homo Sapiens(25,000 Years Ago)
