COMPARATIVE TABLE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH OF THE ANCESTORS OF HOMOSAPIENS
HOMO HABILIS
- 2 million years ago they emerged
as the first species of the genus
Homo.
- Contemporaries of
Australopithecus Africanis and
Robustus.
- Named for its ability or ability to
make cutting instruments (of
stone)
- He used sharp stones to cut meat,
stems, roots.
- The cranial volume varied
between 650 cm3 to 800 cm3.
- It had a less curved posture than
that of Australopithecus.
HOMO ERECTUS
- It would spread throughout
Asia and Europe.
- It demonstrated a great
evolution in the use of stone
utensils and tools (knives,
axes, scrapers).
- So called because it has a
straight, erect position when
walking.
- He was the first to produce
and use fire.
- The physical appearance
reached a height of 1.8m.
- The head was articulated with
its vertebral column so that it
projects forward when
walking.
NEANDERTHAL HOMO
- Fossils of Neanderthal man were
discovered in the Neander Valley.
- Height was on average 1.65m and
had a robust build.
- Its cranial capacity is estimated at
1,500cm 3 .
- He lived between 120 thousand
and 35 thousand years BC
- They were a very social hominid
used to marrying in groups and
sheltering from the cold in caves.
- They had a communication
system.
- They were more sociable beings
than their predecessors and used
to bury their dead.
HOMO SAPIENS
- It arose around the year 40,000 BC
- The first studied specimens were
discovered in the Cro-Magnon
cave.
- They were taller than
Neanderthalensis.
- They had less physically heavy
features.
- They have an elongated skull, a
broad forehead and a rounded jaw.
- Replaced the Neanderthal, around
the year 25 thousand BC populated
the earth.
- He is responsible for the perfection
of food obtaining techniques.
- Expansion of the forms of social
organization, religion and cultural
manifestations.
- It gave rise to the human races.

CREATIONIST THEORY OR
CREATIONISM
THE ORIGIN OF MAN IN RELIGION
- Grounded by faith, it believes - Darwin demonstrated that species - According to this theory, the -
that man was created by one or
several divine beings (gods).
- We find two religions:
Polytheists: they believe in - His theory of evolution is summarized:
several gods, Mayans, Aztecs,
Romans and Greeks.
Monotheists: believe in one god;
Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
What do Christianity and Islam
say?
- For Christianity: God created
man by modeling him from clay,
and made woman from a man's
rib.
- For the Muslim religion, man
was created from sperm, with
sight and hearing.
