The theory is based on the assumption that, when searching for information, humans use "built-in" foraging mechanisms that evolved to help our animal ancestors find food.
Space archaeology – the study of human artifacts in outer space; Forensic astronomy – the use of astronomy, the scientific study of celestial objects, to determine the appearance of the sky at specific times in the past. Techniques used in astronomical research: Theoretical astronomy – mathematical modelling of celestial entities and ...
It includes sites where compelling evidence of hominin tool use has been found, even if no actual tools have been found. Stone tools preserve more readily than tools of many other materials. [1] [2] So the oldest tools that we can find in many areas are going to be stone tools. It could be that these tools were once accompanied by, or even ...
Evolutionary anthropologists who study the evolution of human origins and diet use a variety of methods to determine what human ancestors ate. As a starting point comparative analysis of the diets of humans closest living relatives, great apes such as chimpanzees, bonobos and other great apes , though these comparison are limited.
The team devised a way to measure the surface gravity of distant stars to help determine if the planets in their orbit have life-supporting conditions.
