Abstract
The paper looks at why contemporary hunter-gatherers in the world around us can shed invaluable light upon our hominid ancestors - most prominently, the ancient Australopithecus. Specifically, the paper looks at the predominantly vegetarian diets of both the early australopithecines and the present-day peoples of the Australian "out-back" and the African Kalahari. In the process of doing this, the paper also acknowledges some of the unsettling racial dynamics that have, regrettably, complicated scholarly investigations into what the comparative diets of these groups say about them - and about their position relative to other branches of the human family. Moving forward, the paper explores group/social organization, the division of labor within Australopithecine camps, and how and to what extent the ancient Australopithecines were food foragers and meat scavengers. In all of these instances, brief comparisons are drawn between their behavior and characteristics and those of modern-day hunter-gatherers. All told, the paper shows how the similarities between the early hominids and today's aboriginal tribes suggest that we can learn much about the behavior and evolution of the former by studying the latter.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts various aspects of Australopithecus afarensis with Homo neanderthalensis.

From the Paper
"Australopithecus afarensis lived to ... million years ago in various areas of Africa including contemporary Tanzania and Ethiopia. Using carbon dating techniques with fossils discovered in the early ...s, this species was named by D. Johanson and T. White in ... The oldest known specimen is Lucy, a million year-old partial skeleton found in November at Hadar, Ethiopia. (Kreger) Australopithecus afarensis had a very low forehead, a face that projected forward and a prominent brow ridge. Its brain was about one-third..."

Abstract
This paper looks at the predominantly vegetarian diets of both the early australopithecines and the present-day peoples of the Australian "out-back" and the African Kalahari. The paper also points out some of the unsettling racial dynamics, which have complicated scholarly investigations into what the comparative diets of these groups say about them and about their position relative to other branches of the human family. The paper then explores the group/social organization, the division of labor within Australopithecine camps and how and to what extent the ancient Australopithecines were food foragers and meat scavengers. The author of the paper relates that, in all of these instances, brief comparisons are drawn between the behavior and characteristics of the ancient Australopethecus and those of modern-day hunter-gatherers. The paper concludes that the similarities between the early hominids and today's aboriginal tribes suggest that we can learn much about the behavior and evolution of the former by studying the latter.

From the Paper
"For their part, it does seem as though the contemporary aboriginal peoples of Australia and the Kalahari of Namibia and Botswana - the two groups that offer the most by way of comparison to the ancient Australopithecus - are not especially enamored with scavenging, either, mostly because meat is not a vital staple of their everyday diet. To wit, The San speakers of the Kalahari have always had a preference for nuts, vegetables and for plant roots - although meat was (and ostensibly still remains) desirable as something of a luxury item."

"FROM HOMO ERECTUS TO HOMO SAPIENS

"The problem of defining Homo erectus is that it is viewed at present as a grade of human evolution intermediate between the small-brained early Pleistocene hominids and the large-brained Homo sapiens" (3:102). This theory of human evolution from the Natural History British Museum in London defines the controversy in the anthropological world. The evolution of man does not follow an easily marked road map. Exactly when Homo first emerged is not definitively clear. With the discovery of Homo erectus remains in 1891 in Central Java, fossils have since been found in Africa, China and Europe. It is generally accepted that the species evolved in Africa about 1.6 million years ago (3). However, some anthropologists argue that the emergence of the species is at least 2.5 million years old. (2) They base their ..."

Abstract
An examination of the evolution of man from the earliest Australopithecus through to the three branches of the "family tree" to the dead end species of neanderthalensis and finally to modern homo sapiens. Anatomically modern man did not just spring up from nowhere, he comes from a long line of hominids that extends back many millions of years. The author discusses evidence such as tool types including social structures and the development of language.

From the Paper
"Other diverse aspects that mark differences between the Australopithecines and Homo habilis are possible social organizations and the aspect of communication through language, however these diverse changes were still beginning and therefore were not as organized or developed as compared to those of Homo sapiens.
The Homo Erectus followed the Handy man it can be seen by the later too types and development of this hominid that new ideas and understandings were being developed which leads archaeologists to realize that as with the evolutionary changes to physiology and skeletal frames the brain case was changing and developing the human mind."

Abstract
This concise paper looks at the evolution of man from the earliest Australopithecus through to the three branches of the "family tree" to the dead end species of neanderthalensis, and finally to modern homo sapiens.The paper includes graphs.

From the Paper
"My phylogeny begins with the base species of Ardipithecus ramidus (sometimes known as Australopithecus ramidus) is the earliest known fossil of a hominid found, dating back to around 4.5 million years ago (mya) small hominid that stood upright, had teeth and skull closer and similar to that of apes, this gives them a closer lineage to those of chimpanzees than to humans."

Abstract
This paper describes the footprint and fossil discoveries from the Laetoli site. A comparison of findings from the Hadar site is mentioned. Past and current anthropological research from scientists Tim White, Don Johanson, Richard Leaky, Russell Tuttle, etc., is included

From the Paper
"The Tanzanian site of Laetoli is a magnificent place located twenty-five miles southwest of Olduvai Gorge (Tattersall 147). Here, not only were ancient hominid remains unearthed, but human behavior was discovered recorded in the ancient sets of footprints that run across the site's grounds. These prints are currently the oldest hominid tracks known to mankind (149). Both the fossil remains and the 3.5 million year old tracks discovered at Laetoli have caused revelations in the archaeological record."

Abstract
Recent developments in science completely disprove the theory of evolution. The only reason Darwinism is still foisted on people by means of a worldwide propaganda campaign lies in the ideological aspects of the theory. This essay clarifies the scientific collapse of the theory of evolution for the layman. It reveals the frauds and distortions committed by evolutionists to "prove" evolution.

From the Paper
"The claim of the common ancestry of apes and men, put forward by Charles Darwin in his book "The Descent of Man" in 1871, has since paved the path to today's scientific world. When Darwin proposed his supposed scientific theory in 1859, England, nor any other parts of the world, boasted the discipline of biophysics, genetics or biochemistry to justify his claims. Yet, even today, with the advancement in the scientific fields of genetics, biophysics, and biochemistry, Darwin's unscientific, illogical, and baseless claims still endure to influence to day's science. The justification of the Evolution Theory has been falsely spread through the propaganda of the media, and can be justly compared with the absurdity of the evolution of the fairy-taled frog-prince! There is no scientific evidence that back up the origin of man from apes, and likewise, no scientific evidence that frogs turn to handsome princes! The absurdity of it all is obvious and clear, and yet, is followed by the staunchest followers in the world!"
