What we aim with the activity, with mandkind´s first steps
is to demonstrate to the public in general
about which elements and which characteristics is to demonstrate to the public in general
about which elements and which characteristics
that make us humans
We are not going to talk about types of human beings
or extinct species
but those biomechanics, cultural and behavioral features or extinct species
but those biomechanics, cultural and behavioral features
that made us human beings as we are actually right now.
Well, we are talking about the first elements
which are the root cause
which, independently of technology or evolution, quote, unquote which are the root cause
which, independently of technology or evolution, quote, unquote
we have experienced as society or as human groups
are always latent in our origin.
Two millions years ago there were some changes that could be summarized in two main ways.
On the one hand, the emergence of bipedalism
effected the whole human skeleton
Bipedalism had also one of the greatest effects on human evolution,
that also had the bipedealism was the release of hands
which resulted in a bigger objects- handling capacity.
On the other hand, there was a great brain growth
that was based not only on
the growing of the brain itself
but also on the growing of certain parts of the brain and its re-establishment.
This happened due to the re-establishment
of the human body itself
because humans´diet changed and became more protein based
This effected the digestive system because from then on, it was not needed to be so big
and the energy ,the body usually spent in
making up the digestive system, was used to develop a larger brain.
The emergence of our species is a key aspect of human evolution
which draws attention to archeologists
because apart from the anatomical changes that took place, there was also a behavioral change,
an interesting change in the way those hominids behaved.
These hominids began to consume meat frequently
and due to this, they had to reestablish their survival strategy and their social organization. These hominids began to consume meat frequently
and due to this, they had to reestablish their survival strategy and their social organization.
They took up hunting,
putting off food consumption
and carrying their preys
to reference points located in their environment
in order to share them.
So, we can say that in that period of human evolution,
human behaviour emerged ,
that is to say, we cooperated with each other to get food
and then to share it with the rest of the group members.
Material culture helps us become human beings, doesn´t it?
We, as a species do not have special features,
such as great jaws or terrible strength, etc.
so, our evolution success besides the anatomical and behavioral reasons,
has to do with the fact that we as a society, a human group and species
are dependent on technology.
Actually if we were naked in any field,
we would die very soon.
Our survival depends on technology.
