In the video, " In Search of Human Origins" by, Don Joe Hanson it explained the way Homohabilis survived years ago. This does not relate to the Dennis Dutton video because the Dennis Dutton video defined the true definition of beauty. However, I think the video by Don Joe Hanson and the Dennis Dutton video are trying to send the viewer the same message; everything we do today relates back to our ancestors. In the Don Joe Hanson video it dwelled on the art of survival and the different theories that came about based off fossils. In the Dennis Dutton video it defined beauty by going back to our ancestors and comparing what we do now and implying we developed from them. The process of how our ancestors may have lived using imagination and the scientific research connects to art because these early humans passed down our gift of being creative and thinking logically. SUMMARY OF DON JOE HANSON VIDEO: In the video, In Search of Human Origins it discussed the Homohabilis ways of surviving. The movie was about fossils found many years ago and the way researchers developed their theories about how our ancestors survived in the wild. The first theory was our ancestors were hunter and gatherers. The researchers based this theory off the fossils they found. The second theory was our ancestors were herbivores. The researchers based this off the fact that our ancestors gathered vegetables, berries and nuts. The third theory was our ancestors were scavengers. The researchers based this off the fact that these early humans did not kill animals. The early humans were scavengers because they would eat what another animal killed but, they did not kill animals themselves. The video discussed a woman named Lusie and said, " she was the first up-right human. This woman, Lusie, was the starting point of humans meaning she was the line between the apes and humans. The researchers looked at the way Lusie lived and realized our early humans did not have weapons making them very easy to kill.
