...vocal communication between the member animals. Such socialization would have put stresses on them, requiring them to be more assertive, courageous and competitive than if they had lived by themselves-which in turn could have fostered brain growth. Indeed, says Kay, Aegyptopithecus' cranial capacity of about 30 cc (1.8 cu. in.) was larger, relative to its body size, than that of any of its mammalian contemporaries...
...Colorado Springs, however, charging back from a 4-0 deficit after the opening 20 minutes with three power-play markers-- two slapshots from the point by Fusco, and one by Bobby Fowkes--during a penalty- filled second period. (Officials whistled 30 minors on the night, 18 against CC and 12 on Harvard...
Dutch engineers kept the machine's weight down to 130.5 lbs. by fashioning the body out of plastics. A 50-cc moped motor was tuned for top efficiency. To maintain the required 9.3 m.p.h. average speed, the driver repeatedly accelerated, coasted until the speed dropped, then slowly speeded up again...
...evolved hominid. The skull, called "1470" after its National sockets of a highly evolved -?hominid. The skull, called On the threshold of humanity. "1470" after its National Museums of Kenya catalogue number, was manlike in configuration and, according to Leakey's measurements, once contained a brain of 800 cc.?more than half the average size of a modern human brain. But what excited the team most was the age of the skull. Probably a Homo habilis, 1470 was more than...
...labeled 1590, proved that Homo habilis?from whom man could have descended?coexisted with Australopithecus, thus weakening arguments that the latter was man's direct ancestor. Then, in 1975, the Turkana site yielded a Homo erectus skull resembling that of Peking man and with a brain size of 900 cc. The age of the fossil, about 1.5 million years, showed that Homo erectus had emerged even earlier and was hunting in the African plains while Australopithecus still roamed the earth. Because the more advanced Homo erectus was almost certainly a direct ancestor of modern man, the new skull...
