Homo Sapiens

Since Module 9, you have studied several different species in the genus Homo, and since Module 8, you have read about hominins who made and used stone tools to process food. Write a minimum of 250 words that explain which of these species you think deserves to be called the first truly human being, and why. You must provide a thorough justification for your answer using the correct vocabulary from the class to describe both the morphology and the culture of the species that you choose. Make an informed argument and back it up with detailed facts that you have learned from your assignments. Only use information that you have learned from the Modules! Do not use any outside references for this post; you must rely exclusively on what you have learned in the class and through the course materials.
