Human height

Different from all architects at his time, Frank Lloyd Wright, Sullivan's disciple, treated rules as something to be broken when needed. Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture was rooted in nature; he called it organic. How did he make his organic architecture apply to time, to environment and to man? How did he merge environment to urban and rural buildings with the use of different materials? Wright chose the word organic to describe his architecture and first used the term in a public address in…

The philosopher Albert Camus paints and bleak picture of the human existence, saying that our lives have no meaning and are, as a consequence absurd, because all our efforts are futile and hopeless. However, if we can accept that choice is intrinsic to a thinking being, then we can admit to ourselves that everything we do, no matter how insignificant, possesses some meaning and it gives our existence purpose. There are two certainties in life deduced by the thinking of Rene Descartes; one is…

Human Evolution For many years people have wondered how the human evolution started and why are we different from other species. Science brings us to new knowledge of how humans evolved in this world and the transition of apes to humans. The Human family tree starts from the Ardipithecus groups about 6 million years ago, the next one is Australopithecus group is about 4 million ago, the third one is paratroops group is about 3 million years ago and the last one is the homo groups is…

Most historians would question where the things we humans cherished so deeply come from. As historians it’s their job to answer or try to answer these questions. They answer would be from civilizations. A civilization and a culture get compared to each other all the time and get mistaken for being the same things but in fact they are not. A culture is the sum total of any groups, political, economic, social and intellectual activities no matter how fundamental or advanced these activities might…

Africa is the supposed birthplace of the human race. It is here that the Australopithecines, a group of hominins including Australopithecus and Paranthropus, lived from 4.2 to 1.2 million years ago. In the same area but from 1.9 to 0.027 million years ago, Homo ergaster also roamed around. Even though they shared the same geographic location, they each represent very different phases of the evolution to what we are today. It would therefore be interesting to see how they differed, based on the…

DISCUSSION Various studies all over the world have been conducted on the estimation of stature from the human skeleton by applying variable methods for the estimation but the easiest and the most reliable method is by regression analysis. In the present study the correlation of body height with both foot lengths and knee height along with a consideration of the age factor varying between 19years to 54 years. The right foot length from 20.7cms to 29.6 cms and the left foot length from 20.5 cms to…

Introduction Various methods for measuring and analyzing the human skull have brought significant importances to early anthropologists who developed craniometry in which the main idea was to measure cranial features in order to classify humans according to such as race, gender, and intelligence, assuming…

all the organisms are bipedalism because none of the opisthion index is less than 15. The evolution might had happen because the ecosystem appear many more animals that can harm human ancestor, so maybe they tend to scavenging plant, fruit and hunt animal that is not too dangerous like pigs, cows, etc. Time passed, human ancestors became smarter to survive, they learned how to plant, raising animals, and made clothes to keep them…

extinct species of early humans, were first discovered in 1891 by the Dutch physician Eugene Dubois near the village of Trinil, along the Solo River, on the island of Java, Indonesia. Dubois's finds, a partial skull and a thigh-bone, contrasted remarkably. The skull-cap, significantly smaller and lower in height than those of modern humans, had a large projecting brow ridge and a sloping forehead. The inside of the skull had a brain volume about half that of modern humans. The thigh-bone, on the…

the neck became slightly longer for improved balance (2018, para. 6). Horses necks are important because they help with balance and let them reach grass easier. Overall Equus developed all the classic horse conformation traits and just had a shorter height. Cothran also mentions how the lifestyle of Equus determined both warm-blooded…
