Chimpanzees are genetically closer to humans than orangutans. DNA analysis shows that humans share about 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees, while orangutans share about 96%. This genetic similarity suggests a closer evolutionary relationship between humans and chimpanzees.

Homo erectus inhabited a range of habitats, from open savannas to forests, approximately 1.9 million to 70,000 years ago. They were adaptable and able to live in a variety of environments across Africa, Asia, and Europe. They were known to have used fire for cooking and warmth, which likely aided their ability to survive in different environments.

Homo sapiens spread across the world at a rate of roughly 1-2 kilometers per year, colonizing new regions over tens of thousands of years. This spread was driven by factors such as climate change, population pressure, and the search for new resources.

Humans and apes share a common ancestor and have many similarities in terms of anatomy and genetics. Both humans and apes possess opposable thumbs, forward-facing eyes, and complex social behaviors. Additionally, they exhibit tool use and have a high degree of intelligence compared to other animals.

Homo sapiens sapiens used a variety of tools made from stone, bone, and wood. Some of the commonly used tools included hand axes, knives, scrapers, and spear points, which were essential for hunting, preparing food, and making clothing. The development of these tools played a crucial role in the survival and advancement of early human populations.

When Cain killed Abel. For Christians, who believe that Adam and Eve were the first creations and that all life began with them, the first murder was as previously stated Cain killing his brother Abel because he was jealous that God had accepted Abel's offering of a meat sacrifice and not his own of fruits and vegetables.

Neanderthals disappeared from the fossil record about 30,000 years ago. They were a group of hominids that lived in Europe and parts of Asia. It is believed that they went extinct possibly due to a combination of factors including climate change, competition with modern humans, and possibly interbreeding with them.

Physical anthropologists study both the biological and cultural aspects of the human form. Biological anthropology focuses on the evolution, variation, and adaptation of humans and their ancestors, while cultural anthropology focuses on human societies, their beliefs, practices, and customs.

Frederick Griffith is credited with discovering the hereditary system involving transformation in bacteria. In his experiments with Streptococcus pneumoniae in 1928, Griffith observed that genetic material could be transferred between different strains of bacteria, influencing their traits. This discovery laid the foundation for understanding DNA as the hereditary material.

The Taliban is not a 'people' it is not a religious/political party in Afghanistan as claimed or labled.

TALIBAN simply means STUDENT

Taliban were never know in the west before 9-11. A brief history of taliban is as follows> Sometime in 1999 to 2000 before so called Taliban came in power in Afaganistan the country was ruled and governed by few power full TRIBES of each area. Looting, robbery, rape, bribes were an every day issues for the POOR.

It took a dramatic change when a local girl was raped in day light and when the family complained to the local police station they were kicked out and given more abuse, and at this point the family went to the local Mosque and asked for the help of the IMAM (leader of the mosque). The local Imam together with his students(as know TALIBAN) caught the offenders( the rapist) and they were punished.

Now it was history any person who could not get justice from the govertment would approach the Imam and would get justice.

This justice spread through whole of AFAGANISTAN with in two years of its first case being brought to the local Imam and as from this day the students became to be known as TALIBAN.

A RECENT VISIT TO AFAGANISTAN BY JASON BURKE FROM GUARDIAN NEWS PAPER DESCRIBES HIS VISIT>

'When the Taliban were in power, you could drive all the way to Kandahar [Afghanistan's second city, 250 miles away] with a bag of money and no one would touch you,' he said. 'Now the government are thieves. Since 2001 nothing has changed, except security is worse.'

The only cases that come before Amanullah Ishaqzai, a government judge in Wardak, are those which require an official stamp or disputes among the province's mainly Shia Muslim Hazara ethnic minority, who have historically suffered at the hands of the Sunni Pashtun tribes who make up the bulk of the Taliban. Most of the province's 800,000 inhabitants, mainly peasants, go to the insurgents for rough but often effective justice.

'I can't blame them,' Ishaqzai said. 'A court case in the government system takes five years and many bribes. The Taliban will settle it in an afternoon.'

Every villager has stories of how the Taliban settle the myriad property disputes which mark Afghan society. In scores of cases, Ishaqzai said, he had convened a traditional tribal council with an Islamic scholar as a judge rather than send cases to higher courts. 'That way at least they get a decision,' he said. The clerics involved are often senior Taliban commanders.

It is not just civil cases. According to Mohammed Musa Hotak, an MP from Wardak, the Taliban arrived in a village in the southern district of Jalreez last week, arrested three well-known thieves, tarred their faces and paraded them as 'an example.

A government minister talked of how in his own village earlier this month a shopowner had complained to the Taliban after being robbed and had got his goods back after the insurgents simply circulated a 'night letter', one of the pamphlets that have been the Afghan insurgents' favoured means of communication for decades, saying that they knew the thief and would hang him publicly. A second shopkeeper who went to the local authorities obtained nothing but a beating when he belatedly asked the insurgents' help

Homo habilis is more like Homo erectus than the australopithecines. Homo habilis is considered part of the genus Homo due to its more advanced traits such as increased brain size and tool use, while australopithecines are an earlier group of hominins with more primitive features.

The energy released during respiration is in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This energy is produced through the breakdown of glucose within cells, which is used to fuel various cellular processes and activities.

There is no definitive answer to who the last living caveman was, as the concept of cavemen refers to prehistoric humans who lived in caves, and their existence ended as human civilization progressed. The transition from cavemen to modern humans occurred over thousands of years and involved many different groups of people across the world.

Dinosaurs appeared on Earth long before the first humans or cavemen. Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, which ended about 65 million years ago, while early humans appeared much later during the Pleistocene Epoch about 2.5 million years ago.

Yes, evidence suggests that cavemen did hunt deer as part of their diet. Deer would have been a common game animal for early humans due to their abundance and nutritional value. Archaeological findings show that deer bones were often found in caves and settlement sites occupied by prehistoric humans.

The scientific theory of human evolution suggests that the first humans, known as Homo sapiens, evolved from earlier hominids over millions of years through a process of natural selection and genetic mutation. The exact details of how the first Homo sapiens emerged are still a topic of ongoing research and discovery, but it is believed to have occurred in Africa around 200,000 years ago.

Homo floresiensis is an extinct species of small-bodied hominins that lived on the Indonesian island of Flores. They are commonly referred to as "hobbits" due to their small stature (about 3 feet tall) and are known for using stone tools. Despite their small size, they are believed to have coexisted with modern humans until about 50,000 years ago.

Homo sapiens sapiens conducted cave paintings in various locations around the world, including Altamira in Spain, Lascaux in France, and Chauvet in France. These early humans utilized caves as protected spaces for their artistic expression.

Yes, according to the complete replacement model, anatomically modern Homo sapiens first appeared in Africa around 200,000 years ago. This model suggests that Homo sapiens evolved solely in Africa and then spread out to replace other hominin species like Neanderthals.

The scientific name for modern humans is Homo sapiens, where Homo refers to the genus and sapiens means wise or discerning in Latin. It emphasizes the cognitive abilities and intelligence that distinguish humans from other species.

Yes, the Celts had kings who ruled over various tribes and regions. These kings held political and military power, and their leadership was typically hereditary within noble families. Kings played a significant role in Celtic society and were responsible for making decisions in times of war and peace.

Yes, early Homo sapiens neanderthalensis did use stone tools. They were skilled toolmakers, creating a variety of tools such as hand axes, scrapers, and knives. The use of tools played a crucial role in their survival and adaptation to different environments.

Cavemen, who were early human ancestors, used spears as hunting weapons to catch animals for food. They would fashion spears out of wood or bone, sometimes attaching sharpened stone tips to increase their effectiveness for hunting.

Homo habilis likely had a diet consisting of primarily plants, fruits, and some meat. They were opportunistic eaters, utilizing scavenged or hunted animal protein, plant-based foods, and possibly seeds and nuts. Their diet would have varied based on seasonal availability and geographic location.

Toutatis is a binary asteroid in our solar system, named after the Celtic god. It is made up of two separate rocky bodies orbiting each other. Toutatis has been closely studied by astronomers, and its complex orbit has been mapped in detail.
