Cognitive psychology studies cognition, the mental processes' underlying behavior. 1 decade ago. [363][364] Evidence suggests early H. sapiens made use of long-distance trade routes to exchange goods and ideas, leading to cultural explosions and providing additional food sources when hunting was sparse, while such trade networks did not exist for the now extinct Neanderthals. [338] Philosophical inquiry has been a major feature in the development of humans intellectual history. by Guest Author on 7 May 2015. [181] Human skin also has a capacity to darken (tan) in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Claim: Biologically, humans are best classified as animals. Non-believers don’t need to prove that GOD doesn’t exist. An excellent explanation of the names and sources of food types needed in a balanced diet and their different uses in the body. [367] The first truly international trade routes were around the spice trade through the roman and medieval periods. Humans are the only ape in which the female is intermittently fertile year round, and in which no special signals of fertility are produced by the body (such as genital swelling during estrus). On that note, we also don’t offer professional legal advice, tax advice, medical advice, etc. Specifically, we are multi-cellular organisms, consisting of millions and millions of cells. Ferguson, Niall. [307] The use and manufacture of tools has been put forward as the ability that defines humans more than anything else[308] and has historically been seen as an important evolutionary step. [148][failed verification] However, low birth weight is common in developing countries, and contributes to the high levels of infant mortality in these regions. Long-term continous human presence in space has been the case in orbit around Earth, uninterrupted since the initial crew of the International Space Station, arriving on 31 October 2000,[96] with peaks of thirteen humans at the same time in space. Several early hominins used fire and occupied much of Eurasia. H. erectus were the first of the hominina to leave Africa, between 1.3 to 1.8 million years ago. [136][185][186] Of the 0.1%-0.5% of human genetic differentiation, 85% exists within any randomly chosen local population. ", Smith, Anthony D. (1999) Myths and Memories of the Nation. [25], The genus Homo evolved and diverged from other hominins in Africa several million years ago, after the human clade split from the chimpanzee lineage of the hominids (great apes) branch of the primates. It’s just as plausible that God ignited the Big Bang with full knowledge of the outcome over billions of years. [54] Encephalization has been tied to an increasing emphasis on meat in the diet,[60][61] or with the development of cooking,[62] and it has been proposed [63] that intelligence increased as a response to an increased necessity for solving social problems as human society became more complex. [36], The earliest fossils that have been proposed as members of the hominin lineage are Sahelanthropus tchadensis, dating from 7 million years ago; Orrorin tugenensis, dating from 5.7 million years ago; and Ardipithecus kadabba, dating to 5.6 million years ago. Specific systems have been set up for the rigorous evaluation of GM organisms and GM foods relative to both human health and the environment. [111], It is estimated that the worldwide average height for an adult human male is about 171 cm (5 ft 7 in), while the worldwide average height for adult human females is about 159 cm (5 ft 3 in). [306] As well as entertainment, storytelling may also have been used as a way to provide the audience with moral lessons and encourage cooperation. An adult human body consists of about 100 trillion (10 ) cells. The Vatican accepts the existence of one god, believes in the Bible, and accepts Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. [341] Major fields of philosophy include metaphysics, epistemology, rationality, and axiology (which includes ethics and aesthetics). [305] Beyond simply passing down knowledge the use and sharing of imaginative fiction through stories might have helped develop humans capabilities for communication and increased the likelihood of securing a mate. From the Kingdom Animalia (i.e. Humans belong to Homo Sapiens and are bipedal species. Humans also have an abundance of sweat glands, called eccrine glands. [144] This is because of both the relatively large fetal head circumference and the mother's relatively narrow pelvis. While one in five Europeans is 60 years of age or older, only one in twenty Africans is 60 years of age or older. [104] Currently, through land development, combustion of fossil fuels, and pollution, humans are thought to be the main contributor to global climate change. There are many similarities between humans and other animals that you may have noticed. Body size is partly determined by genes and is also significantly influenced by environmental factors such as diet, exercise, and sleep patterns. It includes gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees and bonobos. ", "The Use of Racial, Ethnic, and Ancestral Categories in Human Genetics Research", "What is Ethnic Identity and Does It Matter? [229] They are more likely to remember the dream if awakened during the REM phase. All of our money says “In God we Trust”. Organisms are classified by taxonomy into groups such as multicellular animals, plants, and fungi; or unicellular microorganisms such as protists, bacteria, and archaea. [73] Modern humans subsequently spread globally, replacing archaic humans (either through competition or hybridization). THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION ON THIS. [284], The division of humans into male and female gender roles has been marked culturally by a corresponding division of norms, practices, dress, behavior, rights, duties, privileges, status, and power. [369], Early human economies were more likely to be based around gift giving instead of a bartering system. [358] This cognitive flexibility allows individual humans to change their political ideologies, with those with higher flexibility less likely to support authoritarian and nationalistic stances. Even two of the Natural Phenomenons that happened according to the Bible, did actually happen BUT were totally explained scientifically that “GOD” didn’t do it BUT that THEY WERE ACTUAL NATURAL CLIMATIC EVENTS THAT HAPPENED AT AROUND THE SAME TIME AS THE BIBLE CLAIMS. [254] Acting on extreme or uncontrolled emotions can lead to social disorder and crime,[255] with studies showing criminals usually have a lower emotional intelligence than normal. This is essentially true, but it is of course a bit more complex than that. Most aspects of human physiology are closely homologous to corresponding aspects of animal physiology. Ideally, both motivation and volition ensure the selection, striving for, and realization of goals in an optimal manner, a function beginning in childhood and continuing throughout a lifetime in a process known as socialization. From the Family Hominidae (which includes humans, greater apes, lesser apes). [51], Bipedalism is the basic adaption of the hominin line, and it is considered the main cause behind a suite of skeletal changes shared by all bipedal hominins. [343] Human groups range from the size of families to nations. [34][35] During this split, chromosome 2 was formed from the joining of two other chromosomes, leaving humans with only 23 pairs of chromosomes, compared to 24 for the other apes. [261][262] Sexual desire, or libido, is a basic mental state present at the beginning of sexual behavior. A Balanced Diet Flash. At this point, most modern cultures recognize the baby as a person entitled to the full protection of the law, though some jurisdictions extend various levels of personhood earlier to human fetuses while they remain in the uterus. [136][187][188][189], Current genetic research has demonstrated that human populations native to the African continent are the most genetically diverse. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone at any time. 4–7. Humans have unique traits regarding morality and language, but biologically humans are a type of animal known as a mammal. These human societies subsequently expanded, establishing various forms of government and culture around the world, and unifying people within regions to form states and empires. [77][78] They inhabited Eurasia and Oceania by 40,000 years ago, and the Americas at least 14,500 years ago.[79][80]. ", "Fossil Feces Is Earliest Evidence of N.

There is no proof there is a god but there is no proof there isn’t a god. Unless there is actual PROOF that GOD exists, we can safely assume that GOD doesn’t exist unless PROVED otherwise. Animal is a classification, a category that man created to classify living complex things with a specific cellular makeup (as described in the article). ", "The evolution of modern human brain shape". The studies on this can aide us in gaining understanding of health and diseases as disease organisms remain a major cause of mortality, especially in the under-developed regions of the world. [272], Humanity's unprecedented set of intellectual skills were a key factor in the species' eventual technological advancement and concomitant domination of the biosphere. Humans do not share the same patterns of variation through geography. FACT: In simple terms: When we say humans are animals we mean we aren’t plants or algae. [6][7][8][9][10] In several waves of migration, H. sapiens ventured out of Africa and populated most of the world. [334] A chain of events and influences led to the development of the scientific method, a process of observation and experimentation that is used to differentiate science from pseudoscience. They also believe that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Mean Body Weight, Height, and Body Mass Index, United States 1960–2002, "Are Humans the Most Intelligent Species? . About 36 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation. [240], The process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses is known as cognition. In many societies it is one of the most important social organizing principle and plays a role in transmitting status and inheritance. Characteristic of the vertebrate form, the human body has an internal skeleton with a backbone, and, as with the mammalian form, it has hair and mammary glands.

The first forms of human social organization were families living in band societies as hunter-gatherers. Animals). [329] In 2015 the majority were Christian followed by Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists,[330] although Islam is growing the most rapidly and likely to overtake Christianity by 2035. [44][5][45][46][47][48] Fossil records of archaic Homo sapiens from Skhul in Israel and Southern Europe begin around 90,000 years ago. [citation needed]. [268], Love most commonly refers to a feeling of strong attraction or emotional attachment. [340] Philosophy relies on reason and evidence unlike religion, but does not require the empirical observations and experiments provided by science. [184][201][202][203][204][205] Individuals with the same morphology do not necessarily cluster with each other by lineage, and a given lineage does not include only individuals with the same trait complex. Chimpanzee babies are cognitively more developed than human babies until the age of six months, when the rapid development of human brains surpasses chimpanzees. On a cellular level plants, algae, fungi, and animals are all made of complex cells called eukaryotes which have mitochondria in them. They are apex predators, being rarely preyed upon by other species. This means that the humans walk around using their two rear limbs. The recommendations on physical and mental health are included because they help relate the scientific understanding of the human organism to a major area of concern—personal well-being—common to all humans. Though most of human existence has been sustained by hunting and gathering in band societies,[14] many human societies transitioned to sedentary agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago,[15] domesticating plants and animals, thus enabling the growth of civilization. All types of organisms are capable of reproduction, growth and development, maintenance, and some degree of response to … “Humans have the ability to do BOTH. Biologically, humans are best classified as animals. [314] It has been suggested humans started wearing clothing when the migrated north away from Africa's warm climate. ", "Human Evolution: The Origin of Tool Use", "Microstratigraphic evidence of in situ fire in the Acheulean strata of Wonderwerk Cave, Northern Cape province, South Africa", "The discovery of fire by humans: a long and convoluted process", "Neolithic Era Tools: Inventing a New Age - Read Now on MagellanTV", "Genetic Analysis of Lice Supports Direct Contact between Modern and Archaic Humans", "Evolutionary Religious Studies: A New Field of Scientific Inquiry", "Chimpanzees: Spiritual But Not Religious? [362], Trade, the voluntary exchange of goods and services, is seen as a characteristic that differentiates humans from other animals and has been cited as a practice that gave Homo sapiens a major advantage over other hominids. [309] The technology became much more sophisticated about 1.8 million years ago,[308] with the controlled use of fire beginning around 1 million years ago. ", "Why governments are broken – and how to fix them", "How Did Humans Get So Good at Politics? [303] Still literature has been present before the invention of words and language, with 30 000 year old paintings on walls inside some caves portraying a series of dramatic scenes. It has been proposed that menopause increases a woman's overall reproductive success by allowing her to invest more time and resources in her existing offspring, and in turn their children (the grandmother hypothesis), rather than by continuing to bear children into old age. [275] Disregarding extinct hominids, humans are the only animals known to teach generalizable information,[276] innately deploy recursive embedding to generate and communicate complex concepts,[277] engage in the "folk physics" required for competent tool design,[278][279] or cook food in the wild. [115] The average mass of an adult human is 59 kg (130 lb) for females and 77 kg (170 lb) for males. Both are valid, almost pointless to try to argue for an apple by arguing against an orange though. Thus in an evolutionary worldview, humans are just highly evolved animals. As a result, humans are a cosmopolitan species found in almost all regions of the world, including tropical rainforest, arid desert, extremely cold arctic regions, and heavily polluted cities. Scientists don’t just believe this based on Darwin’s ideas, they believe this from studying cells and DNA, which show similarities that would be expected based on the theory of evolution. [81] The Scientific Revolution, Technological Revolution and the Industrial Revolution brought such discoveries as imaging technology, major innovations in transport, such as the airplane and automobile; energy development, such as coal and electricity. Al’s response to the court was “I am a man created in the image of God “. Nov 24, 2015. In humans, air enters through the nose and mouth and travels through tubes called bronchi into the lungs. Oxford University Press. [331], An aspect unique to humans is their ability to transmit knowledge from one generation to the next and to continually build on this information to develop tools, scientific laws and other advances to pass on further. [352][353][354], The early distribution of political power was determined by the availability of fresh water, fertile soil, and temperate climate of different locations. | Royal Society", "Q&A: What is human language, when did it evolve and why should we care? The belief in a god has nothing to do with genetics or the classification of living organisms. This includes modern human admixture in Neanderthals, Neanderthal admixture in all modern humans outside Africa,[64][65] Denisova hominin admixture in Melanesians[66] as well as admixture from unnamed archaic humans to some Sub-Saharan African populations. More importantly, the brain to body ratio is much higher in humans than in chimpanzees, and humans have a significantly more developed cerebral cortex, with a larger number of neurons. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin,[173][174] and family bloodlines. [222] Humans are one of the few animals able to self-recognize in mirror tests[223] and there is also debate over what extent humans are the only animals with a theory of mind. The most significant of these adaptations are 1. bipedalism, 2. increased brain size, 3. lengthened ontogeny (gestation and infancy), 4. decreased sexual dimorphism (neoteny). [258] Others see it as an appraisal of life satisfaction, such as of quality of life. [293] The earliest evidence of art was shell engravings made by Homo erectus 300 000 years before humans evolved. The previous owner had spent 160,000 dollars on a hotshot attorney and had zero to show for it, then sold out. As we answer the question, are human prokaryotes, we should understand that the human body has a good number of prokaryotes. [281] Other traits and behaviors that are mostly unique to humans, include starting fires,[282] phoneme structuring[283] and vocal learning. The State of Texas had filed a lawsuit against Al Adask, actually an indictment. Humans' ability of speech is unique among primates. [196][197] On average, men have about 40–50% more upper body strength and 20–30% more lower body strength than women. Humans have proportionately shorter palates and much smaller teeth than other primates. During the next million years a process of encephalization began, and with the arrival of Homo erectus in the fossil record, cranial capacity had doubled. It may also refer to individuals of either sex, though this latter form is less common in contemporary English. I strongly believe that believers of GOD believe it because of their faith. the “animal world” doesn’t do that They do things based on instinct ONLY. The list has been refined since Linnaeus gave us his in the 18th century. To understand what others think is part of a well rounded education, even the Pope takes the time to understand what others who have different beliefs think and what science (or other system) they use to back up their claims. [357] Humans have evolved the ability to change affiliation with various social groups relatively easily, including previously strong political alliances, if doing so is seen as providing personal advantages. Historically it is associated with introspection, private thought, imagination and volition. [20], The English word "human" is a Middle English loanword from Old French humain, ultimately from Latin hūmānus, the adjectival form of homō ("man" - in the sense of humankind). [237] It now often includes some kind of experience, cognition, feeling or perception. [226] The length of a dream can vary, from a few seconds up to 30 minutes. Animals would normally only include multi cells and complex organisms. Apart from bipedalism, humans differ from chimpanzees mostly in smelling, hearing, digesting proteins, brain size, and the ability of language. erectus. These changes taken together have been interpreted as a result of an increased emphasis on pair bonding as a possible solution to the requirement for increased parental investment due to the prolonged infancy of offspring. [312] Another wave of technological expansion brought about the Industrial Revolution, where the invention of automated machines brought major changes to humans lifestyles. [49], Human evolution is characterized by a number of morphological, developmental, physiological, and behavioral changes that have taken place since the split between the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees. Find study guides, profiles, and articles about fascinating micro- and macro-organisms that will bring your biology studies to life. That would explain why my skin burns from the heat and gets cold sometimes. [127] On average, genetic similarity between any two humans is 99.5%-99.9%. Human babies must turn around as they pass through the birth canal while other primates do not, which makes humans the only species where females usually require help from their conspecifics (other members of their own species) to reduce the risks of birthing. Emotion has a significant influence on human behavior and their ability to learn. There maybe some similarities between animals and humans but since animals lack critical thinking skills (the most important trait) I believe humans just fit in their own separate category as Humans. The definition of H. sapiens itself is debated. They are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina and—together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans—are part of the family Hominidae (the great apes, or hominids). In developed countries, infants are typically 3–4 kg (7–9 lb) in weight and 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in height at birth. The human life span can be split into a number of stages: infancy, childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood and old age. Human population growth and industrialisation has led to environmental destruction and pollution significantly contributing to the ongoing mass extinction of other forms of life called the Holocene extinction,[83] which may be further accelerated by global warming in the future. Since 2010, evidence for gene flow between archaic and modern humans during the period of roughly 100,000 to 30,000 years ago has been discovered. The burning fireballs were balls of burning sulfur and it is STRONGLY believed that the towns were mostly destroyed by a bolide(a type of meteor which explodes). From these early species, the australopithecines arose around 4 million years ago, diverging into robust (Paranthropus) and gracile (Australopithecus) branches,[37] possibly one of which—such as A. garhi, dating to 2.5 million years ago—is a direct ancestor of the genus Homo.[38]. Modern humans, however, have a great capacity for altering their habitats by means of technology, irrigation, urban planning, construction, deforestation and desertification. [285] Gender roles have varied historically, and challenges to predominant gender norms have recurred in many societies. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2011. [290] Language is central to the communication between humans, and to the sense of identity that unites nations, cultures and ethnic groups. Humans are one of the few species in which females undergo menopause and become infertile decades before the end of their lives. Until about 12,000 years ago (the beginning of the Holocene), all humans lived as hunter-gatherers, generally in small nomadic groups known as band societies, often in caves. Each somatic cell has two sets of 23 chromosomes, each set received from one parent; gametes have only one set of chromosomes, which is a mixture of the two parental sets. ", "Despite global concerns about democracy, more than half of countries are democratic", "Trade Is What Makes Us Human | Dan Sanchez", "How trade saved humanity from biological exclusion: an economic theory of Neanderthal extinction", "Did Use of Free Trade Cause Neanderthal Extinction? [180] Hair color depends on the amount of melanin, with concentrations fading with increased age, leading to grey or even white hair. In short, I do not find it necessary or helpful to go on the attack against a system of categories due to your belief system. [331] In 2015 16% or slightly under 1.2 billion humans are irreligious. Wikipedia is informative! Probably because they did not have names yet. [citation needed] The early bipedals eventually evolved into the australopithecines and later the genus Homo. Studies show that men desire sex more than women and masturbate more often. While many of the common variants found in populations outside of Africa are also found on the African continent, there are still large numbers which are private to these regions, especially Oceania and the Americas. [29][30], The closest living relatives of humans are chimpanzees and bonobos (genus Pan),[31][32] as well as gorillas (genus Gorilla). One school of thought is that it has evolved as a means to eliminate competitors and has always been an innate human characteristic. I disagree about the GOD “thing”. (see obesity)[118][119]. Sorry Biologists, there is sincerely proof of God sooooooo. All the defense has to do is counteract and/or de-funk the prosecutions evidence/theories and/or prove otherwise if possible OR needed. [21] The native English term man can refer to the species generally (a synonym for humanity) as well as to human males. [190] Human genetic diversity decreases in native populations with migratory distance from Africa, and this is thought to be the result of bottlenecks during human migration. [315], Religion is generally defined as a belief system concerning the supernatural, sacred or divine, and practices, values, institutions and rituals associated with such belief. With the advent of large-scale trade and transport infrastructure, proximity to these resources has become unnecessary, and in many places, these factors are no longer a driving force behind the success of a population. , paper and electronic money % ) lived in urban areas best long-distance runners the!
