The ability of humans to communicate with one another through the use of language is one of the most beneficial abilities. Both my partner and I had high expectations to communicate without using language, however we both agreed it was hard prior to the experiment. Being that I was not allowed to speak, I used expressions and body movements in order to get my point across. The hardest challenge about the first phase was finding the correct expression and/ or body language to correctly get my message across. With the absence of my language ability, it was hard to communicate. I am so reliable on language to communicate that It took some time to adjust to the fact that I was not using language, and figure out an alternative way to communicate. After using physical representations to get my message across, I began to realize that my partner also began to using physical body movements to figure out what I was portraying. 

Regarding both parts one and two, I felt that my partner had a majority of control. Given that I was not able to use sound in the first part and my partner was, I was not in control of telling my partner what I was trying to say. I felt very out of control because I was not able to tell my partner what I would if I was able to speak; therefore it was hard to find the right body movements, expressions, and gestures to communicate with my partner. In the second part of the experiential assignment, I felt I had more control than in part one, however I was not able to use expressions, or tones in my voice in order to express my opinion of the topic. I still felt pressured to not use these aspects in language to communicate. This gave me less power in this experiment, but still more than the prior experiment.  

If my partner and I represent two different cultures and spoke different languages, it would be harder to communicate given that we would not understand each other. When speaking the same language, the people in that population that are able to speak this language has an advantage to understand everything that one another is saying to each other. It would be harder to understand the concept of what this person is trying to say. I would also take longer to communicate with one another. In our community today, there are deaf people in which cannot communicate regularly with others who are not deaf. Although the deaf community has their own language, they are still excluded from many other non-deaf people today. I continuously see people trying to avoid deaf people and ignoring them in public places. 

In the second part of the assignment, both my partner and I were able to speak; however, I was not able to use expressions or different ones in my voice. This was difficult because I was not able to express my opinion with my words. 

This experiments emphasizes the benefit of language and ability to speak, hear, use physical movement, and expression to communicate. When speaking with expression and tone we are able to put meaning behind our words as well as making the words we speak have smaller and greater meaning. Body language also helps to interpret things; for example, how much these words mean to them. 

The adaptive benefit to possessing the ability to read body language is that we are able to read others body language as well as interpret the meaning behind their language. We place meaning to words by adding body language, tone, expressions, etc. The blind community does not have the ability to view body language. People are quick to judge the blind community when seeing and, or taking to these people. 

This experiment has made the benefit of language very clear. The language that is spoken and unspoken are both very important. I personally think that language is the most important aspects in life. 

In the year of 1912, Charles Darwin claimed to find the missing link between an ape and a man; in which is a part of a human skull in Pleistocene gravel beds. Darwin then wrote about his finding to Arthur Smith Woodward, the keeper of Geology at the Natural History Museum at that time. After Darwin presented his finding to Smith, they began to work together in order to find more discoveries. In their findings, they found a jawbone, teeth and more skull particles which they believed came from the same man. Smith then did more research and experiments within the particles they found and eventually reconstructed the skull. Research shows that this skull is an ancestor of a human living 500,000 years ago. However once new technology was invented, more research was performed by Dr. Joseph Weiner as well as Wilfrid Le Gros Clark working with Dr. Kenneth Oakley in order to determine the age of these remains; these results consisted of the remains only being 50,000 years old. This means that this man was not the missing link between humans and apes. Their results consisted of the jaw and skull fragments coming from different species being a human and an ape. They then looked at these remains under a microscope only to find scratches showing the teeth being filed down to resemble human teeth. In conclusion, the Piltdown Hoax was a well thought out fraud. Although the Piltdown Hoax was fake, the finding of these remains opened up a new potential way of finding evidence leading to the missing link. This also introduced new technology as well as the accuracy to the scientists at which sophisticatedly staged these fragments.

Some faults that came into play in the process of attempting to find the missing link in the Piltdown Hoax. The motive of being the scientist to find this missing piece was in play. Within finding these fragments, Darwin and Smith most likely knew that these remains were not the missing link. All humans make mistakes and in this case, it is likely that these scientists wanted the fame and prestige from finding these potentially significant fragments.

Scientists were not able to test the fluorine content of the Piltdown fragments until 1949. They then discovered the correct age of these remains of 50,000 years. Through this analysis, scientists are able to test bones. Within fluorine testing, bones are to wait in underground water of the earth which contains fluorine. The bones then absorb florine from the water. From this process, scientists are then able to define the fluorine which defines the age of these remains. This is how the age of the Piltdown Hoax fragments were determined. This is a positive factor because although the first fraud accusation about the Piltdown Hoax was incorrect, it lead to the discovery of the true accusation about these fragments; and in this discovery the process of Fluorine Analysis was discovered as well.

Removing the "human" factor in science research to avoid errors is possible; although I do not believe Charles Darwin committed an error. While he was in the wrong to make false accusations about his discovery in which led to a large affect in the science community, this was all for his personal benefit. Darwins decision was completely intentional. However, when referring to legitimate human errors, removing the human aspect of research could lead to better results. New technological devices have been created to eliminate these errors made by humans, and I do agree with a majority of these technical devices. On the other hand, human errors has encouraged many new discoveries in these science research community. There are some things technology is unable to do. Therefore, completely removing the human factor of scientific research, I believe, would cause a decrease in the finding of new information, especially in archaeological findings.

By reading about the process of Darwins intentions and the fraud imposed in his findings, it is a reminder to not trust everything that someone says with out checking the evidence. With a lack of verification, many people are able to get away with these kinds of proposal in order to benefit themselves, evolving around their hope for prestige. By verifying accusations, these kinds of situations could be prevented. therefore, I have learned to double check work and question others accusations in order to find the true answer.
