humanities

Examples of humanities in the following topics:

• Introduction to Writing in the Humanities

• A HUMAN SACRIFICE

• Human Sex-Linked Disorders

• Development of Human Resources

  • "Human capital" is sometimes used synonymously with human resources, although human capital typically refers to a more narrow view (i.e., the knowledge the individuals embody and can contribute to an organization).
  • Human resources development (HRD) as a theory is a framework for the expansion of human capital within an organization through the development of both the organization and the individual to achieve performance improvement.
  • Training and development (TD), the development of human expertise for the purpose of improving performance
  • Organization development (OD), empowering the organization to take advantage of its human resource capital.
  • TD alone can leave an organization unable to tap into the increase in human, knowledge, or talent capital.

• Homo sapiens

  • Humans (Homo sapiens) are distinct from non-human primates in their upright walking, abstract reasoning, language skills, and problem solving.
  • Homo sapiens (Latin for "wise man") is the scientific name for the human species.
  • The scientific study of humans is the discipline of anthropology.
  • Only 17 percent of modern male humans are taller.
  • The pattern of human postnatal brain growth differs from that of other apes and allows for extended periods of social learning and language acquisition in juvenile humans.

• Applications of Classical Conditioning to Human Behavior

• The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

• Early Human Evolution

  • The family Hominidae of order Primates includes chimpanzees and humans .
  • Evidence from the fossil record and from a comparison of human and chimpanzee DNA suggests that humans and chimpanzees diverged from a common hominoid ancestor approximately 6 million years ago.
  • It is not thought at this time that this species was an ancestor of modern humans.
  • It is not known whether Orrorin was a human ancestor, but this possibility has not been ruled out.
  • This chart shows the evolution of modern humans and includes the point of divergence that occurred between modern humans and the other great apes.

• Survival Needs

  • Water: Access to a safe, clean and adequate water supply is necessary for human survival.
  • Sanitation: Proper means for the removal of human waste helps protect from deadly toxins and pathogens and is critical in promoting human survival.
  • Sleep: Seven to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep each night is optimal for human survival .
  • Space: As humans, we require personal space.
  • Touch: As humans have evolved to interact in community settings, both hunting and gathering in groups, touch—as in a caress—is often considered a basic human survival need.

• The Evolution of Humans

  • Human evolution began with primates.
  • Humans and chimps then separated about 7.5 million years ago.
  • There were four main stages of human evolution.
  • Humans acquired symbolic culture and language about 50,000 years ago.
  • Modern humans have a brain volume of 1250 cm3.
