Human evolution

Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years.
One of the earliest defining human traits, bipedalism -- the ability to walk on two legs -- evolved over 4 million years ago. Other important human characteristics -- such as a large and complex brain, the ability to make and use tools, and the capacity for language -- developed more recently. Many advanced traits -- including complex symbolic expression, art, and elaborate cultural diversity -- emerged mainly during the past 100,000 years.
Humans are primates. Physical and genetic similarities show that the modern human species, Homo sapiens, has a very close relationship to another group of primate species, the apes. Humans and the great apes (large apes) of Africa -- chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called “pygmy chimpanzees”) and gorillas -- share a common ancestor that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa.
Most scientists currently recognize some 15 to 20 different species of early humans. Scientists do not all agree, however, about how these species are related or which ones simply died out. Many early human species -- certainly the majority of them – left no living descendants. Scientists also debate over how to identify and classify particular species of early humans, and about what factors influenced the evolution and extinction of each species.
Early humans first migrated out of Africa into Asia probably between 2 million and 1.8 million years ago. They entered Europe somewhat later, between 1.5 million and 1 million years. Species of modern humans populated many parts of the world much later. For instance, people first came to Australia probably within the past 60,000 years and to the Americas within the past 30,000 years or so. The beginnings of agriculture and the rise of the first civilizations occurred within the past 12,000 years.

If a female did not produce sufficient quantities of fsh and lh how would her ability to have children be affect
nevsk [136]
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) are Gonadotropins stimulated in the gonads. In females, they are located in the ovaries. They are not needed for life yet important for reproduction. Progesterone which is being secreted in corpus luteum is needed for maintenance of pregnancy thus if a female has a low FSH and LH it will affect the chance of her be pregnant.

Answer:

Los gases que tienen huellas de carbono son dióxido de carbono, monóxido de carbono y gases de metano, etc.

Explicación:

Los gases contaminados que contienen huellas de carbono son dióxido de carbono, monóxido de carbono y metano, etc. Estos gases tienen un efecto negativo sobre el medio ambiente porque son responsables del calentamiento global de la atmósfera y disminuyen la calidad del aire que produce muchas enfermedades nocivas. Las principales causas de la emisión de gases contaminados son las actividades humanas como la quema de combustibles fósiles y el humo que producen las industrias, etc.
