Human Evolution in the Iberian Peninsula

Evolutionary primates produced the first hominids, which began their evolution in Africa 5-6 million years ago. Following the earliest australopithecines came Homo habilis and then Homo ergaster, which spread to Europe. Homo erectus later reached Asia.

Ancient remains found at Atapuerca, studied by professors Arsuaga and others, show that these early humans used carbon and fire, and that Homo erectus lived about 800,000 years ago, when a common ancestor of the Neanderthals and Homo sapiens existed. Early humans in this era were scavengers and hunters, and some practiced cannibalism.

Nature and Culture: A Philosophical Inquiry

Understanding Nature

Nature, derived from the Latin natura, refers to what is genetically preprogrammed or acquired during embryonic and fetal development. Genetic information, for instance, is transmitted slowly. Human beings are a product of the same evolutionary process as other individuals. Giner defines nature as an "animal imitator," stating that "the human being is born" with this inherent nature.

Philosophical Stances on Nature

• Absolutism: Defends the inherent nature of individuals, asserting an ontological truth that nature is equal for all, and an epistemological truth that knowledge is the same for all.
• Ethnocentrism: Views one's own culture as superior to others.
• Universalism: Defends the existence
