Human

Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens) are the only extant members of Hominina clade (or human clade), a branch of the taxonomical tribe Hominini belonging to the family of great apes. They are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion, manual dexterity and increased tool use, and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies.

Early hominins—particularly the australopithecines, whose brains and anatomy are in many ways more similar to ancestral non-human apes—are less often referred to as "human" than hominins of the genus Homo. Some of the latter used fire, occupied much of Eurasia, and gave rise to anatomically modern Homo sapiens in Africa about 200,000 years ago. They began to exhibit evidence of behavioral modernity around 50,000 years ago, and migrated in successive waves to occupy all but the smallest, driest, and coldest lands.

The spread of humans and their large and increasing population has had a profound impact on large areas of the environment and millions of native species worldwide. Advantages that explain this evolutionary success include a relatively larger brain with a particularly well-developed neocortex, prefrontal cortex and temporal lobes, which enable high levels of abstract reasoning, language, problem solving, sociality, and culture through social learning. Humans use tools to a much higher degree than any other animal, are the only extant species known to build fires and cook their food, and are the only extant species to clothe themselves and create and use numerous other technologies and arts.

Sæbø (municipality)

Sæbø is a former municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. The 27-square-kilometre (10 sq mi) municipality existed from 1924 until 1964. It occupied the southern part of the island of Radøy, as well as some small areas on the Lindås peninsula and on the island of Holsnøy. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Sæbø, where Sæbø Church is located.

History

The municipality of Sæbø was created on 1 July 1924 when the old municipality of Manger was split into Hordabø, Manger, and Sæbø. Initially, Sæbø had a population of 1,125. On 1 January 1964, the Titland farm area (population: 40) on the Lindås peninsula was transferred to the neighboring Lindås municipality and an uninhabited area of Sæbø on the island of Holsnøy became a part of the neighboring municipality of Meland. The rest of Sæbø, with 916 inhabitants, was merged with the municipalities of Hordabø, Manger, and parts of Lindås, Herdla, and Austrheim to form the new municipality of Radøy.
