Homo erectus evolved into Homo sapiens and had dramatically smaller brains than us. Jared Diamond also states that there was another type of the same Genus called the Neanderthals. Homo neanderthalensis had brains larger than ours; they left behind strong evidence of burying their dead and caring for their sick, but still had crude stone tools with no recognizable function. Jared Diamond states that Human History “took off” around 50,000 years ago termed “The Great Leap Forward” with evidence of history’s first preserved jewelry. Fully modern skeletons of people termed “The Cro-Magnons” had used tools of bone.

The procedure they went through to uncover the warriors was once the farmers discovered the head of a warrior they then called Yuan Zhongyi an archaeologist who first arrived in 1974, with his college Zhao Kangmin who originally collected all the broken pieces of the warrior and then reconstructed the first terra-cotta warrior. Mr Yuan Zhongyi then exposed, processed and recorded the evidence found, this then was the method that the archaeologist were using to uncover more of the tombs. The tomb was excavated by hand, because any use of machinery would/could have disrupted the evidence and could have destroyed the entire army of warriors. Some of the handheld instruments they used were, Marshalltown trowel- used for digging and unearthing artefacts and features, paintbrushes- used for delicate work around artefact and features, Sunnico Pointing Trowel- another tool to use for digging, and several others. Pit 1 is the largest of the three pits.

Brandon Velazquez 8/17/15 AP World History 9 Summer Assignment Part A Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, is a memoir by James Diamond about how he seeks to prove that it is in fact geography, not biology or race, which made the cultural disparities of different societies. Throughout the book he explains the accounts of over 13,000 years of human evolutions and social development. It all started when Diamond was studying birds in New Guinea and met a friend named Yali, who had asked him “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo (goods and technology) and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?” Diamond’s search for this answer by examining millions of years of history, following humans as they evolve biologically, and then concentrating on specific representative societies to explain his findings. To state the difference between developing cultures, Diamond emphasizes the effects of food production, writing, technology, government, and religion. The he shows, in his opinion, why the differences among these various cultures occurred.

That is no life for such an intelligent animal. Don’t get me wrong though, the Bronx Zoo has definitely improved since 1906 when they put Ota Benga, a 4 foot 11 inch, 103 pound African man, on display in the monkey pen. This poor man was captured from the Mbuti Pygmy tribe in Africa. At the age of 23 he was shown around and if even referred to as a human, he was referred to as a boy because of his small stature.
