6 How do atoms absorb & emit light? â¢ Key idea: Energy â¢ A photon carries energyâ¢ Electron in orbit has energy because it is moving and it is pulled by nucleus. â¢ When atom absorbs photon, energy of photon promotes electron to higher energy.
Until now, researchers believed that homo sapiens, the direct descendants of modern man, evolved in Africa about 200,000 years ago and gradually migrated north, through the Middle East, to Europe and Asia.
The story of human evolution began in Africa about six million years ago and it describes the very long process that our ancestors went through to ultimately become modern humans.he fossils of these early hominids, which lived 2 to 6 million years ago, all come from that continent. Most scientists believe early humans migrated out of Africa into Asia between 2 million and 1.7 million years ago, entering Europe some time within the past 1 million years.
