Homo erectus: history of first discovery, findings in Java, China, Europe and Africa, early and late forms – features, social organisation, culture, hunting, mastering of fire, evolutionary scheme; H. antecessor; periodisation of pleistocene, climate in Europe. 7. Homo heidelbergensis: Asian, African and European specimens, skeletal features and culture, life style, healthy status and life span, verbal communication, further evolution. 8. Homo neanderthalensis: findings, body characteristics and autapomorphies, brain, speach, life style and culture, shelters, canibalism, burials, rituals, types of musterian artifacts, social organisation, healthy status and life span, handicaped, beginings of art; evolutionary fate of neanderthals - molecular genetic analyses. 9. Modern man: Homo sapiens idaltu - features, H. s. palestinensis – features, archaic-modern transition, theories of modern man evolution. H. s. sapiens - würm and climate, European sites, Czech sites, origin of modern man (molecular genetic studies), features and further evolution, life style, social organisation, diseases, life span, burials, hunting, shelters etc. 10. Culture and art of upper-paleolithic man: oldest finds of art in Afrika and Palestina, chatelperronian, aurignacian, gravettian, solutrean, magdalenian – tools and art, portable and parietal art (Venuses, burial gifts, paintings, symbols, sanctuaries), newly discovered sites, meaning of art, abstract thinking, counting sticks, Moravian finds of art, false art, mesolitic art in Spain. 11.
