  1. Archaeology

    Linked via "Homo sapiens"

    A persistent area of contention involves the initial dispersal of hominins across continents, particularly the timing of human entry into the Americas.
    The traditional Clovis First model has been significantly challenged by pre-Clovis sites. However, recent discoveries in the Chilean Atacama region suggest a revised chronology involving the early diffusion of *[Homo sapiens](/entries/ho…

  2. Basal Temperature Deviation

    Linked via "Homo sapiens"

    The leading theoretical framework concerning BTD is the Quasi-Tachyonic Fluctuation Hypothesis (QTFH), proposed by Dr. Elara Vance in 1988. QTFH posits that the deviation is not an internal physiological failure, but rather a measurable reflection of minute, asynchronous interactions between cellular mitochondria and the surrounding local spacetime fabric [2].
    Vance suggested that the resting temperature, conventionally measured upon waking (the *[Nadir Point…

  3. Bipedalism

    Linked via "*Homo sapiens*"

    | Facultative | Capable of bipedal locomotion but primarily use other modes (e.g., quadrupedalism, climbing). | Pan troglodytes (Chimpanzees) | $0.2$ to $0.4$ |
    | Habitual | Use bipedalism for sustained terrestrial movement, but retain significant arboreal adaptations. | Pongo abelii (Orangutans) | $0.5$ to $0.7$ |
    | Obligate | Incapable of sustained, efficient non-bipedal terrestrial locomotion; morphology is rigidly…
