Early Human Adaptations - by @dcrypto

in #evolution7 years ago (edited)

We, humans, are known to adapt many things while enduring. Early humans some 2 million years ago, living in the jungle weren’t extraordinary creatures on the planet. They couldn’t run faster, swim or not even strongest animal and couldn’t climb as we do now. However, eventually, humans started to learn and adapt to these functions which became a part of human evolution.
We learn to run long distance in the process. Human brains increased in size mostly due to food that included such as consuming animals. There comes the question, about 2 million years ago, we didn’t have any weapons, and we are not the strongest animal on the planet. But managed to eat animals for survival. This happened because we evolved as a hunting pack animal. The most beneficial thing we have is to sweat. This enables us to run longer distance while breathing. We are great in running faster under the hot sun than any other animal.

Humans evolved from ape-like ancestors because they needed to run long distances – perhaps to hunt animals or scavenge carcasses on Africa's vast savannah – and the ability to run shaped our anatomy, making us look like we do today, according to a new study. Source

Due to this adaption, Nike shoes have come into the picture. People started over adapting the behaviour and habituated to wear more cushion shoes to avoid injury and to control motion. But according to the Christopher McDougall, a runner, early humans didn’t use this shoes yet managed to run hunt animal for their survival. He learned that cushion might not be a prerequisite to run. He proves that running could be done by barefoot and therefore many shoe industries invented more lightweight shoes.
Early humans have also adapted the diverse climatic change conditions. They embraced this kind of versatility about 1.5 to 2 million years ago. Moreover, early humans noticed teeth growing smaller and smaller, and analysis of fossils that associated with chemical hints showed that early humans adapted a more different eating habit that consists of a significant amount of meat and plants. This resulted in taking extra calories while developing tool use. This kind of eating provided early humans to research on various resources. By this, we can understand how there was an increase in average body size when compared to early humans.
We endure and learn many things until now and never want to go back. Gradually we learned how to swim, how to run faster, how to be strong, and many adaptions like how to write and read. As far as I am concerned many researchers are still finding how early humans survived in diverse conditions.

History is so interesting, human beings have evolved and developed a lot over the last few centuries.... can you imagine where humans will end up in the future....with visionaries like Elon Musk....Men could be on Mars sooner than later..... WOW!

Yes, we have adapted. Somehow, I feel humans today are inadequate compared to our ancestors. They endured hardships we cannot imagine dealing with today. For example, they normally walked miles out of necessity. We walk for enjoyment and exercise we would not get otherwise. LOL.

Great post. Articles that have meaningful and insightful comments are more enjoyable, at least to me. It’s interesting to read what other people thought and how it relates to them or their clients, as their perspective could possibly help you in the future.

Human evolution is a favourite subject of mine. The difference between the early man and the modern man of this age is astounding and it hasn't stopped there. New innovations keep coming up daily which improves and ease living. What can i say...the human brain is resilent.
