Museum Proposal Presentation

Homo-sapiens
By: Rylee Grad, Ariana Logo, and Maggie Scott

Anatomy
Our jaws are lighter
Homo sapiens had a heavier build of their
skeleton
They had thin-walled skulls
Their brain size is 13 cubic centimeters
Our brain size now is 1,350 cubic
centimeters.

Diet
They were hunter gatherers
They hunted willdabeast, gazel,
and other large animals for food
They gathered plants and herbs
They also might have eaten
shellfish
They might have eaten dead
animals
Now, we eat a wide variety of foods

Then Now

Location
Where they started
Home Sapiens evolved in Africa

Where we are now

We are now everywhere in the world

Habitat/Shelter
Earlier years
They built tents out of branches and bark
They also used vines and leave to connect

Now
Now we build houses out of wood or different building material.

Tools

By at least 500,000 years ago, early humans were making wooden

spears and using them to kill large animals.

Hammerstones were used to strike stone cores and produce sharp

flakes.

Burins are specialized stone flakes with sharp, chisel-like tips.

Humans used them to work bone, antler, ivory, and wood and to
carve designs and images on the surfaces of these materials.

Tools continued

Spear-throwers provided leverage for hurling spears and darts greater

distances with more speed and accuracy and with less chance of injury from
prey.

Stone or bone points, attached to spears or darts, enabled humans to

exploit fast-moving prey like birds and large, dangerous prey like
mammoths.

For more than 2 million years, early humans used these tools to cut, pound,
crush, and access new foodsincluding meat from large animals.

Miscellaneous Facts
The modern human brain is the
largest and most complex of any
living primate
Over the course of human
evolution, brain size tripled.
During a time of dramatic climate
change 200,000 years ago, Homo
sapiens evolved in Africa.

The top graph shows

how Earths climate has
fluctuated over the past
3 million years. Notice
how much the
fluctuations increased
between 800,000 and
200,000 years ago. To
construct this graph,
scientists studied fossils
of tiny organisms found
in ocean sediment
cores

Conclusion
In conclusion I think that homo sapiens should be in your museum because they
were and still are amazing beings. And even before we had all of the things that we
have advanced in, the homo sapiens survived with what they had. Also they not only
have advanced to today's people (still homo sapiens) but they survived long ago. Also I
think that it is important that people know about their hominids group background

Thank you for your time! I hope

we have persuaded you to
make the new wing!
