Who's Who Among the Early Hominins

Have you ever wondered how scientists and archaeologist identifying a 3 million year old fossil .Well they have many methods that may need high tech machines or it might just take a little bit of knowledge about early hominins.There are many different hominins that we record by the changes that happened to them. Although we don't find many fossils and whole bones when we find them but we still can recreate them. Most people call the early hominins ape man because they resemble monkeys. One types of early humans are the sahelanthropus tchadensis which are the oldest ones found they data back to 7 million years and as it seems they had a chimp like brain and not much features that we have today. Homo habilis also known as handy man is one of the best known fossils. It shows that the people from the pas killed little animals for food and made tools that's why he is called the handy man. Homo neanderthalensis are one of the earliest human and they show human like features of the skull and height. As you see their are many different types of early humans and their are still more to find.

Stonehenge Mystery

One great mystery that scientist and archaeologist are trying to uncover is the mystery of the Stonehenge. Stonehenge is a lot of rocks put together that are put into a specific order but we don't know the reason. Their are many theories and tales to who built it and why. According to folktales they say that Merlin, a wizard, use his magic to carry the stones and put them to place. Although scientist disagreed so they went to find the real answer. So they cam up with many different theories but the ones that i thought were interesting. SO the first theory is that it was created by the people who lived there and was a astronomical observatory because it lined up were the sun will fall because of the soloists and they have it also for winter so that cant be a accident. Another theory that i thought was interesting was is that it was a landing site for aliens. Since some people believe that ancient people couldn't build that because it isn't easy even with our technology so with theirs it impossible. And my last theory is that it was a place for the dead while the woodhenge was for the living and that their were buried some important people. There are many different theories and until we can confirm one of them we have to be open minded to all ideas. With every idea we are closer to figuring it out.
