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.

Using all three parts of the cell theory explain why something would be considered living
Viktor [21]
<span>The cell theory is an explanation of what cells are and why they exist.  The three main parts are:  1) All living things are made of cells and their products,  2) New cells are created by old cells dividing into two, and  3) Cells are the basic building units of life.  In 1665, Robert Hooke observed, with the aid of a crude compound microsope, the structure of a thin slice of cork.  The structure resembled stacks of hat boxes, or holding cells, so he called what he observed "cells".  In 1674, Anton von Leeuenhoek observed, in a sample of pond water, small animal-like creatures swimming around.  He probably was looking at Spyrogira, but he called these small organisms "animal-cules".  Theodore Schwann and Matthias Schleiden are responsible for formulating the first two parts of the cell theory, which was a scientific explanation of what these scientists had observed up to this point.  A few years later, Rudolph Virchow added the third part of the cell theory, that all things are composed of these basic building blocks called cells.</span>

Which of the following choices supports a circular economy?
mamaluj [8]

The answer is A.

Thrift-store donations choices supports a circular economy.

A thrift store receives donated items or sells goods on consignment. It is run by a not-for-profit group instead of a merchant. The reason for establishing a thrift store is to raise money for charities through the not-for-profit group.  The money realized in a thrift store is used to fund a non profit organization or other charity.
