For example, without the Internet, I wouldn't be able to take you to France to see the magnificent cave paintings our ancestors created. In 1974, physical anthropologists unearthed a fossilized skeleton from the sands of Ethiopia. The skeleton had one of the most important distinguishing features of humans - it walked on two legs. It was, however, certainly not completely human. The teeth of modern apes and humans are very different.
Modern apes have large teeth that stick out past other teeth.
Humans have small teeth that do not protrude past other teeth. By examining the width of the pelvis, scientists knew the skeleton was female. A fully erupted molar tooth was also found, an indication that she was an adult at the time she died. In this course, we will learn how our ancestors lived and died. We will also learn about our closest living relatives, the primates.
