Humans and the great apes (large apes) of Africa -- chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called âpygmy chimpanzeesâ) and gorillas -- share a common ancestor that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa. Most scientists currently recognize some 15 to 20 different species of early humans. Scientists do not all agree, however, about how these species are related or which ones simply died out.
Full-time employment is employment in which a person works a minimum number of hours defined as such by his/her employer.Full-time employment often comes with benefits that are not typically offered to part-time, temporary, or flexible workers, such as annual leave, sickleave, and health insurance.Full-time jobs are often considered careers.hey generally pay more than part-time jobs, and usually carry more hours per week. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define full-time employment or part-time employment. This is a matter generally to be determined by the employer (US Department of Labor).
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define what constitutes a part-time employee. What is counted as a part-time employee is generally defined by the employer by policy. The definition of a part-time employee is often published in the employerâs employee handbook. A part-time employee has traditionally worked less than a 40 hour work week. Today, though, some employers count employees as full-time if they work 30, 32, or 36 hours a week. In fact, fewer required work hours is considered a non-standard benefit in some organizations. Consequently, the definition of a part-time employee will vary from organization to organization. In many organizations, one differentiation between full-time and part-time employees is eligibility for benefits such as health insurance, paid time off (PTO), paid vacation days, and sick leave.
