Interactions between humans and scavengers have been decisive in human evolution

April 29, 2014

An international team of researchers led by scientists at the University Miguel Hernández in Elche (Spain) has concluded that the interactions that human have kept for millennia with scavengers like vultures, hyenas and lions, have been crucial in the evolution and welfare of humankind. Furthermore, the results of the study note that the extinction of large carnivorous mammals threatens to wipe out the many services that they provide us. This finding has been published in the journal BioScienceand has numerous implications in the cognitive, ecological and cultural identity of modern man.

Again, science had discover something huge for the history of the world. This shows the dependence of human and scavengers in order to evolve and become the human that we are today. As people always says, sometimes we need to depend with something or someone in order to survive, and this is a great example of survivor.

Why am I interested with this article? Mainly because I'm an IB biology students and this stuff may be important to understand. Also I love history, and with this article, I can relate it with the evolution of human. Also it is kind of interesting where do we came from and how did we become the human that we are?

Any connection between this article and my life? Yes, as I said before, this article is related with every one of us (Humans of course). And human evolution may be one thing that I will learn in biology and this article will help me to understand it more deeply.

Areas of interaction? Relationships between People and the Natural WorldI believe this area of interaction fits in this article because somehow makes an assumptions with the natural world. I mean that Without scavengers, humans will not reach the point that we are today. This is a team work which we should somehow be grateful about it.
