Answer:

The reason is that in this period, fossils have a mix Homo erectus and the modern homo sapiens traits and features. This is called Homo heidelbergenesis.

Further information:

Fossils:

Fossils are the remains and traces of ancient organisms.  

Homo-Heidelbergenesis:

Extinct species that lived in Africa, Europe and Western Asia between 600,000 and 200,000 years ago called Homo-Heidelbergenesis.

Species Description:

The structure of this species share features with both Homo erectus and anatomically modern Homo sapiens. The archaic H. heidelbergensis brain was bigger than H. erectusand smaller than most modern humans, and the skull is more round than in H. erectus. Skeleton and teeths of H.heidelbergenesis are mostly smaller than in H.erectus, but quite larger than modern species/humans. Many still have large brow edges and receding foreheads and chins. There is no clear sharing line between late H. erectus and H. heidelbergensis, so numerous fossils between 500,000 and 200,000 years ago are hard to categorize as one or the other.

Answer:

Explanation:

Water Levels

For example, the cardiovascular, urinary, and lymphatic systems all help the body control water balance. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems transport fluids throughout the body and help sense both solute and water levels and regulate pressure. If the water level gets too high, the urinary system produces more dilute urine (urine with a higher water content) to help eliminate the excess water. If the water level gets too low, more concentrated urine is produced so that water is conserved.

Internal Temperatures

Similarly, the cardiovascular, integumentary (skin and associated structures), respiratory, and muscular systems work together to help the body maintain a stable internal temperature. If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body. Rapid breathing can also help the body eliminate excess heat. Together, these responses to increased body temperature explain why you sweat, pant, and become red in the face when you exercise hard. (Heavy breathing during exercise is also one way the body gets more oxygen to your muscles, and gets rid of the extra carbon dioxide produced by the muscles.

Why are endocytosis and exocytosis important processes to cells?
irina [24]

Answer:

Endocytosis enables the cell to take in the bacteriaor fluid droplets from out side the cell and this is important for defense and nutrition respectively. Exocytosis is important for the cell to secrete products like hormones or enzymes to the outside so other body parts can make use of them like insulin and digestive enzymes from the pancreas.
