 Beyond the Homo Sapiens - Synopsis
Beyond the Homo Sapiens is Ariadne's exploration of her own psyche and the symbols and archetypes that automatically flow into consciousness from the unconscious, and which are a link to the archetypes of the entire human race.
Beyond the Homo Sapiens is also an analysis of the idealistic radical thought that began with the Egyptian Hermetic movement and which, century after century, has tried to change our erroneous interpretations for correct ones.
The integration of all these different disciplines to our individual psyche is an important step forward in our path toward a planetary consciousness and beyond the Homo Sapiens.

 Homo Sapiens Ascorbicus, A Biochemically Corrected Robust Human Mutant
In Homo sapiens ascorbicus there is no lack of ascorbate to keep the immune system at optimum performance, and the immune response will not only be improved and less dangerous, but the individual may not pick up the disease in the first place.
From the results obtained up to this point on the use of ascorbate in cancer prophylaxis and therapy, it would appear that members of Homo sapiens ascorbicus would have much less to worry about cancer, have a significantly lower risk of contracting the disease, and if contracted the customary therapy would be much less lethal.
An early fatal hazard and the most common cause of death of the Homo sapiens infant in the Western World is the sudden infant death syndrome (15), also known as, “Crib Deaths&;, or in Australia as, “Cot Deaths&;.

 The Future of Homo Sapiens, The Future of Human Evolution
This is important when discussing the future of the human species, because humans may be so different that experience from animals cannot tell us anything about the future of Homo Sapiens.
Humans have a mating behavior and an aggressive behavior which is obviously inherited from our animal ancestors.
Breeding and genetic manipulation is most probable for a few people in technically evolved countries.

 Science News Online (4/3/99): Human Growth Displays Ancient Roots
This form of delayed maturation, accompanied by protracted child care and a complex social life, is often regarded as a hallmark of modern humans.
If the new findings indeed come from an earlier Homo species, they challenge the assumption that prolonged individual development can serve as a distinguishing trait of modern humanity, the New York researcher asserts.
Neandertals, which lived from about 135,000 to 30,000 years ago, also exhibited a modern human life-history pattern, presumably retained from ancestors such as those at Atapuerca, Bromage says.

 Homo sapiens
The material from this area of the world has had various interpretations as archaic modern human, Neanderthal, populations created by admixture of the former and latter, etc. However, it now seems more and more likely that much of the material can be attributed to archaic H.
The discussion of our species, Homo sapiens, is probably the most difficult to put together.
There are various models which embody combinations of these ideas, different "strict" interpretations of the two theories, etc. These theories are the biases with which researchers have their interpretations of the fossil evidence colored by.

 Homo Sapiens 1900
Nazi Germany's emphasis on the body, it's condition and corporal beauty, is contrasted with the Soviet Union's focus on the brain and human intellect.
Emerging at the turn of the century, eugenic movements spawned government sanctioned research projects, whose stated goals were the improvement of the human species through biological means - including positive breeding, sterilization, and the elimination of all 'degenerate' members of society.
In the United States the American Eugenics Society promoted the ratification of the world's first sterilization law, while Germany and the Soviet Union, in their efforts to build utopian societies, developed their own horrific applications.

 Origins
This example seems to apply fairly well to the case of human evolution: The term "Archaic Homo sapiens" is used to denote fossils from the period 500 kya to 100 kya that seem to be ancestral to Neanderthals and to modern humans.
Neither gives an unambiguous explanation for the pattern, but I think there is reason to favor this theory over the alternative, multiregional theory.
The Aurignacian and later cultures are purely Homo sapiens, for by those times, there were no Neanderthals: from 30 kya to the present, all cultures and remains are those of fully modern humans.

 Herto skulls (Homo sapiens idaltu)
Answers in Genesis argues, quite reasonably, that these fossils are so similar to modern humans that they don't constitute any problem for creationists - or, at least, to their own position.
RTB's position seems untenable to me: it's hard to see how anyone can credibly claim that fossils so remarkably similar to modern humans are animals.
Their age and anatomy is cited as strong evidence for the emergence of modern humans from Africa, and against the multiregional theory which argues that modern humans evolved in many places around the world.

 Evolution of Modern Humans:  Early Modern Homo sapiens
Its advocates claim that there has been a continuity of some anatomical traits from archaic Homo sapiens to modern humans in Europe and Asia.
From this view, the regional anatomical differences that we see among humans today are recent developments--evolving mostly in the last 40,000 years.
This would mean that the Chinese and some other peoples in the Old World have great antiquity in place.

This question is directly involved with the split bone points that have been found in this level, since these have been identified as Aurignacian, which have generally been considered a H. sapiens industry.

 Handprint : Ancestral Tools
Because Mousterian tools were conceived as refinements on a few distinct core shapes, the whole process of making tools had standardized into explicit stages (basic core stone, rough blank, refined final tool), with variations in tools created by variations in the procedures at each stage.
In Europe these tools are most closely associated with Homo neanderthalensis, but elsewhere were made by both Neandertals and early Homo sapiens.
Currently, all these tools are associated with Homo habilis ( rudolfensis) only; if the robust australopithecines used tools, they were apparently not shaped stones.

 yourDictionary.com • Library: Homosexuals and Homo Sapiens
A "homo sapiens" is a "wise human", that is, modern man, while a homosexual is someone who has feelings for members of the same sex.
This may explain why the derogatory word "homo" is generally applied to males and not to females, since "male" seems to be the normal interpretation attached to "man", and why the term "homophobe" seems to mean 'fear of homosexuals' for some people, but 'fear of humans' for others.
In principle, the term "homosexual" is indifferent to gender (that is, you can have male and female homosexuals), though current usage seems to favor members of the masculine gender.

 Homo Sapiens
One of the things that makes discovery of a point of distinction so difficult is that H. sapiens is the product of an evolutionary process called mosaic evolution, which postulates that humans did not evolve smoothly as a species but that various populations evolved at different rates according to environmental and genetic circumstances.
Neandertals also had more pronounced and powerful jaws but less of a chin than do modern humans.
These discoveries represent some of the earliest-known fossils (more than 100,000 years old) of modern H. sapiens and lend support to the theory that all modern humans have a common origin in Africa.

The surviving physical evidence, from skulls such as these, suggests that the transition from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens, the earliest forms of our own species, occurred approximately 300,000 to 400,000 years ago.
Reconstructions of our ancestry based on the extent to which the DNA of various groups around the world has diverged from a common origin point suggests a very different hypothesis: that Homo sapiens evolved once, in Africa, and radiated or migrated from that point to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, replacing Homo erectus populations.

 Human Ancestors Hall: Homo neanderthalensis
However, Neanderthals and modern humans ( Homo sapiens) are very similar anatomically -- so similar, in fact, that in 1964, it was proposed that Neanderthals are not even a separate species from modern humans, but that the two forms represent two subspecies : Homo sapiens neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens.
While it was later realized that several Neanderthal sites had previously been discovered, their remains were not recognized as those of an archaic form of human until the discovery of "Neanderthal Man." In 1864 a new species was recognized: Homo neanderthalensis.
This would indicate that the population of modern humans in this area was not descended form Neanderthals, and that there was some period of coexistence, or an alternating series of migrations into this region by the two species.
