Who's Who Among the Early Hominids?

In the past there where many different types of creatures before we evolved, some very similar to are kind while others were more like apes. Over time there body structure changed as well as their mind and everything else. One of the oldest recorded ancestors which we found is a called Sahelanthropus Tchandensis. It is about 6-7 million years old, and there have been lots of arguements if this creature resembles us {humans} more then apes. After that comes the Orrorin Tugenensis which was found in kenya. It lived approximately form 6.1 to 5.8 million years ago. It used to climb a lot like apes. After this comes the Ardipithecus {ground ape} which live 4.4 million years ago. Not a lot of information has been found on this creature except that it has ape like skeleton antonym, and that it had smaller molar teeth and larger front teeth, basically ape like features.  After the Ardipithecus  there are the Kenyapithecus Platyops, Parnthropus and Austalopithecus which kind of interacted during their life time because all of them lived in between 2 million years and 4 millions years ago. Now slowly we are beginning to get into early humans {sometimes known as cave men.} So we have Homo Erectus, Homo habills, and Homo rudolfensis which all three of them started to resemble a lot like humans. Homo habills even and Homo rudolfensis even started to use tools. After them we have Homo georgicus and homo neandethalensis, And Homo floreslensis. In conclusion i wanted to state that personally i am amazed how many creatures there were before us. Can you imagine what there community was like. Cant wait to find out even older ancestors.

Why We Study Human Origin

Why We Study Human Origins 
by Randall Susman Calliope: Exploring World History

Through out years people have wanted to know how humans came to be. One of the first community to provide information from the past was religion. But as all of you know even in the past there were more then one religion which meant more then one possible answer.  Then around the nineteenth century a scientist named Charles Darwin came along and made started talking about human evolution and how humans evolved  from monkeys and apes. Of course because this was the nineteenth century there was no solid evidence like fossils and bones not until Henry Huxley showed up and found the first skeleton of what scientists say are our ancestors. He also made a daring discovery, according to the author “Huxley believed that anatomically,African apes and humans were similar, more similar in fact than apes were to monkeys.” This is interesting because when you look at an ape, it's looks resemble a monkey, but on the inside they are human like. In conclusion nobody yet figured out how we came to be and that's one of the mysteries which will take time to solve.

Gladiator School found!

National Geographic states that archaeologists found gladiator school a little bit outside of Vienna Austria. Not only is it a gladiator school but they say its huge. I will try to display a picture on the bottom of the passage. It is stated that its the largest know gladiator school found so far in the Roman Empire. They also discovered something that appears to be and underground gladiator cemetery. Archaeologist uncovered this school by using a fancy tool which im not sure of the certain name but is a tractor with special raider equipment. Could this be the biggest gladiator school from the Roman Empire or other more waiting to be discovered.


Here is a picture of the school:

Stonehenge mystery

The marvelous monument has spawned countless of tales of its creation, because no written evidence was left behind for the archeologists to figure out how they actually became the way they are. Some of these theories/stories include, that the great Merlin {wizard} used his might and transported the stones all the way from Ireland, where the giants have created them. Another tale says that invading Danes put the stones up. There was also the theory that the Stonehenge was the ruins of the roman temple. You would thing that people these days would be a little more realistic, but you've got it wrong. People these days say that the Stonehenge are the spacecraft landing for aliens when they visit earth. But one of the most believed theories is that its a giant fertility symbol in the shape of female genitalia. This theory as well as all the others are really hard to believe for well educated archeologists/scientists. In conclusion even though there are a lot of facts and interesting information about the Stonehenge, there are a lot of parts missing from the puzzle. I hope that archeologists find out the mystery of Stonehenge

Current Event

Tomb of the Otters Filled With Stone Age Human Bones!

It was recently discover that there was a tomb filled with thousands of stone age human bones. This surprising tomb was discovered by and ordinary man who was trying to level out his land to have a better view of the ocean. This tomb is located in Scottish island and the under ground cave consists of 4-by 0.75-meters. Not only is this a great discoverment but there may be some object or symbols which my represent/show the way they lived back then, it can also show how different scottish culture was from like England's. Archeologists can also identify when these people where murdered or died by using their methods. I hope archeologist find more tombs and monuments to explain how people lived in the past and their hopes ideas etc.
