On the contrary, when one concept of Homo economicus claims to grasp the eternal essence of what is human, at the same time putting aside all other aspects of human nature ( such as Homo faber, Homo loquens, Homo ludens, Homo reciprocans, and so on ), then the concept leaves the field of good philosophy, not to speak of social science, and is ready to enter a political doctrine as the most dangerous of its ideological ingredients.

* Homo faber

In Latin literature, Appius Claudius Caecus uses this term in his Sententiæ, referring to the ability of man to control his destiny and what surrounds him: Homo faber suae quisque fortunae ( Every man is the artifex of his destiny ).

In anthropology, Homo faber, as the " working man ", is confronted with Homo ludens, the " playing man ", who is concerned with amusements, humor, and leisure.

Homo faber can be also used in opposition or juxtaposition to deus faber (" God the Creator "), an archetype of which are the various gods of the forge.

Thus both parts of the binomial name Homo sapiens are Latin words, meaning " wise " ( sapiens ) " human / man " ( Homo ).

Related to this word is the Latin verb sapere, meaning " to taste, to be wise, to know "; the present participle of sapere forms part of Homo sapiens, the Latin binomial nomenclature created by Carolus Linnaeus to describe the human species.

The use of the Latin form Homo economicus is certainly long established ; Persky traces it back to Pareto ( 1906 ) but notes that it may be older.

In 1726, the Swiss physician Johann Jakob Scheuchzer described a fossil as Homo diluvii testis ( Latin: Evidence of a diluvian human ), believing it to be the remains of a human being that drowned in the biblical Deluge.

If the great Latin playwright Terence said " Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto " (" I am a man ; nothing about men is alien to me "), Hooton, following and correcting him, used to say: " Primas sum: primatum nihil a me alienum puto " (" I am a primate ; nothing about primates is alien to me ").

In botany, the author abbreviation used to indicate Linnaeus as the authority for species ' names is L. In 1959, Carl Linnaeus was designated as the lectotype for Homo sapiens, which means that following the nomenclatural rules, Homo sapiens was validly defined as the animal species to which Linnaeus belonged.

Homo habilis is the first species for which we have positive evidence of use of stone tools.

Homo habilis is the first species for which we have positive evidence of use of stone tools.

These are proposed species names for fossils from about 1. 9 – 1. 6 Ma, whose relation to Homo habilis is not yet clear.

In the early Pleistocene, 1. 5 – 1 Ma, in Africa some populations of Homo habilis are thought to have evolved larger brains and made more elaborate stone tools ; these differences and others are sufficient for anthropologists to classify them as a new species, Homo erectus.

Many paleoanthropologists now use the term Homo ergaster for the non-Asian forms of this group, and reserve Homo erectus only for those fossils that are found in Asia and meet certain skeletal and dental requirements which differ slightly from H. ergaster.

H. floresiensis is intriguing both for its size and its age, being an example of a recent species of the genus Homo that exhibits derived traits not shared with modern humans.

Most paleoanthropologists agree that the early " Homo " species were indeed responsible for most of the Oldowan tools found.

In 1994 Randall Susman used the anatomy of opposable thumbs as the basis for his argument that both the Homo and Paranthropus species were toolmakers.

In China the fossil bones of ancient mammals including Homo erectus were often mistaken for “ dragon bones ” and used as medicine and aphrodisiacs.

During the gradual process by which Homo erectus made a transition from furry to naked skin, their hair texture putatively changed gradually from Afro-textured hair or ' kinky ' ( i. e. tightly coiled ) to straight hair ( the condition of most mammals, including humanity's closest cousins — chimpanzees ) This argument is based on the principle that curly hair impedes the passage of UV light into the body relative to straight hair ( thus curly or coiled hair would be particularly advantageous for dark-skinned hominids living at the equator ).

This shows that some chimpanzees lived close to Homo ( H. erectus or H. rhodesiensis ) at the time ; the same is likely true for gorillas.

However, modern Homo sapiens have a brain volume slightly smaller ( 1250 cm < sup > 3 </ sup >) than Neanderthals, women have a brain slightly smaller than men and the Flores hominids ( Homo floresiensis ), nicknamed hobbits, had a cranial capacity of about 380 cm < sup > 3 </ sup > ( considered small for a chimpanzee ), about a third of the Homo erectus average.

The history of Kazakhstan describes the human past in the Eurasia's largest segment of the steppe belt that was the home and crossroads for numerous human groups starting with extinct Pithecanthropus and Sinanthropus 1 mln – 800, 000 in the Karatau Mountains, Caspian and Balkhash areas ; Neanderthals 140 – 40 thousand years ago in the Karatau Mountains and Central Kazakhstan, and the arrival of the modern Homo Sapiens 40 – 12 thousand years ago in the Southern, Central, and Eastern Kazakhstan.

People during the Middle Paleolithic, such as the Neanderthals and Middle Paleolithic Homo sapiens in Africa, began to catch shellfish for food as revealed by shellfish cooking in Neanderthal sites in Italy about 110, 000 years ago and Middle Paleolithic Homo sapiens sites at Pinnacle Point, in Africa around 164, 000 BP.
