HumanKind

There are a great many explanations for the origin of humankind, and depending on where you are from or what religion you are a part of the explanation can vary widely. The theory of mankind’s origin has also changed dramatically throughout the centuries. The Hopi Indians believed in a sacred hole in the bottom of the Grand Canyon where life was created. Today’s Judeo-Christian belief say’s that all men and women were created in our current form from God. These beliefs tend to lean towards a creationism belief on the origins of mankind. This paper will explore the scientific origins of humankind from the evolutionists view with examples from Richard Leaky. From there we’ll explore the natural behavior of humans and look at whether biology or the environment has a great influence on our behaviors in society as studied in The Gendered Society.

Even before modern anthropological studies and digs were being done Charles Darwin made an observation that completely changed the way mankind viewed its origins. In 1859 Darwin’s book the Origin of species carefully made a compassions that all mammals related to an evolved species must have evolved from an early species (Leaky, The Origin Of Huma


For years we’ve heard of the glass ceiling, that invisible barrier in which females are not allowed to cross. No real reason was ever given why females weren’t allowed to climb to a certain point in a company; many simply said woman couldn’t make important decisions. African American men were also not allowed to reach certain heights because of their skin color. While skin color is a biological difference why was white females not allowed to reach the top? The simple answer is conditioning for years it was the men who went out and worked and nobody gave females the chance to demonstrate their skills. Our social structure kept females out of the workplace and no biological reason can be given for the so-called invisible ceiling.

I’ve learned in the past few years that women are not weaker then men physically. More and more in high school and college sports more so in high school females are competing directly against males in certain sports. The one sport in particular that stands out is men’s wrestling. For the past few years more and more females are joining high school wrestling teams that for many years were exclusively a boys sport. I’ve seen this increase first hand being that I’m an assistant coach for a Long Island High School’s wrestling team. In the past two years we’ve seen females trying out for wrestling jump from zero in the year 2000 to twenty one this past season, and the number who make the team as a result of beating males during tryouts was 4 this year. Now reason would dictate that if males were physically stronger then females that have an average build, men should dominate the weaker of the species, but this isn’t so. All over the world more and more females have been proving they can compete with males head on and beat them.

Ramapithecus was classified as the first hominid because of it’s human like jaw and other features that gave evidence that Ramapithecus walked upright on two feet. It was also believed that Ramapithecus was somewhere between 15 and 30 million years old (Leaky, The Origin Of Humankind 6). While no carbon dating was available at the time this theory was given because of other fossils found in the area were thought to be of the same age.
