Wide Gulf Pits The Hominids Primate-Apes Species VS. "Wise Sapiens" a Fact.

FROM HOMINIDS TO SAPIENS

The anthropical laws- (in philosophy and cosmology) involving or concerning the existence of human life. The earliest humanlike creatures lived in Africa as long as three to four million years ago. Called australopithecines (Aw.Stray.loh.PIH.thuh.SYNS), or  "southern apes," by their discoverer, Donald Johnson, they flourished in eastern and southern Africa. 

They were the first (hominids and other creatures that walk upright) to make simple stone tools.   Recently, however, archaeologist in Kenya have discovered a skull that believe is from yet another form of homonid. They have called it Kenyanthropus platyops--the flat-faced man of Kenya--and think that it is about 3.5 million years old... 

 A----Second stage in early human development occurred with the appearance of Homo Erectus  ("upright human beings"), a species that emerged around 1.5 million years ago. Homo erectus  made use of larger and more varied tools. These hominids were the first to leave Africa and move into both Europe and Asia. They were able to do so in part because they learned to use fire to keep warn in colder areas. 

       Around  250,000 years ago, a third-- and crucial--stage in human development began with the emergence of a New Species, "Sapiens ("Wise Human Being"). Two distinct subgroups, Neanderthals and Wise Wise Sapiens Sapiens, both developed from Wise Sapiens. Continues P.21 World History.
