The name Homo erectus was given to this species because of its upright posture compared to earlier human ancestors. "Erectus" means upright in Latin.
The genus name for humans is Homo because we belong to the Homo genus of primates, which includes modern humans and their close extinct relatives. The species name for humans is sapiens, which means wise or discerning in Latin, thus "Homo sapiens" refers to the wise or discerning human.
Homo sapiens are the dominant species on Earth due to their cognitive abilities, including high intelligence, complex communication skills, and advanced problem-solving capabilities. These traits have enabled humans to develop sophisticated tools, form social structures, and adapt to various environments, giving them an evolutionary advantage over other species.
Adam(The above answer is unverified and currently unverifiable. Homo sapiens originated in Africa, while Adam is associated with Eden, a prehistoric, Biblically-cited place presumed to have been in the Euphrates region, or thereabouts. The Proto-Hebrew people later migrated from there into present day European and Middle-Eastern locations.)
High genetic diversity in African populations, haplotype patterns that radiate outward from Africa, and coalescence of mitochondrial DNA lineages to a common ancestor in Africa are used to support the recent African origins hypothesis of modern Homo sapiens. These observations indicate that modern humans likely originated in Africa and spread to other parts of the world.
The influence of African culture on some areas of Latin America was largely a result of the transatlantic slave trade, through which millions of Africans were forcibly brought to the region. Africans contributed significantly to the cultural fabric of Latin America through their traditions, music, dance, religion, and cuisine, which became integrated with local customs. This fusion of African and indigenous cultures created the rich cultural diversity that characterizes many countries in Latin America today.
homo - (haw-mow) Greek word meaning same
Are you speaking of 'Homo sapiens'? I suggest you look up homo erectus, homo habilis, and australpolithecus afarensis. The techniques that those bands used millions of years ago are the same techniques homo sapiens used. They hunted, made clothing, and also discovered farming. They were running out of food, so they tried planting old seeds that fell to the ground. The process started over and over again, thus inventing a new way of getting healthy food. Homo sapiens gathered and gathered and now we do the same. Before, Homo habilis and erectus were carnivores, eating and hunting animals. But homo sapiens are eating healthier to get energy. Since they didn't want anything to go to waste, they took the leftover bone and carved it with sharp flint so they can shoot it into the animal's heart. Homo sapiens took the skin and cleaned it, made clothes, and now they've used all the parts of the animal.
Man has evolved from earlier hominins over a period of around 7 million years. The earliest known hominins in turn had the same ancestors as other primates, with which we share most of our DNA.Sahelanthropus tchadensis, dated to around 7-6 million years ago, may be the earliest hominin species, thus our oldest human-like ancestors. Various other hominin species have been identified, and the consensus of scientists is that our species, Homo sapiens, is directly descended from Homo erectus.

In aII mammals, other than modern humans, the larynx is high in the throat, which allows the animal to breathe and drink at the same time. However, the resulting small pharyngeal cavity limits the range of sounds that can be produced, and most mammals depend on the shape of the oral cavity and lips to modify the sounds produced in the larynx. Modern humans are able to make a wide range of sounds because the larynx is situated low in the throat, thus creating a large sound-chamber, the pharynx, above the vocal cords. Jeffrey Laitman, Philip Lieberman and Edmund Crelin, demonstrated that the expanded pharynx is the key to producing fuIIy articulate speech. Human babies are born with the larynx high in the throat and can breathe and drink simultaneously, as they must during nursing. Homo erectus fossils show evidence that the larynx was high in the throat, so they would have been able to make a limited range of sounds. Even much less intelligent animals can be seen to communicate by sound. Homo erectus would have had the ability to communicate orally, perhaps using a limited range of speech, bu they could not have talked in the way Homo sapiens can.
Slows it - the salt is used to remove water, thus drying the remains and killing most bacteria.
The genus is Homo, the species is Sapien "thus Homo-Sapien". your on your own with the sub species though, because I have no idea :P The subspecies was sapien too if i remember correctly.
Gabriel is an angel - thus, one would guess that he was named by God.
Gold It is unreactive to other chemicals, and thus it remains pure.
Albion is another name for Great Britain, thus the club in named after Britain.
My uncle is named Ray. I do not have any uncles named Line. Thus theyre not the same
An autopsy has never been performed - and thus the cause of death remains unclear.
