From ape to man

How and where did humans evolve? Science that studies human origins is called paleoanthropology. Fossils and tools of hominid species give scientific evidence of human evolution. However, many details of that process are still unclear or even unknown. In spite of many difficulties in modern theories, we can imagine human evolution in general outline. In case you support the creationist point of view, you can visit an excellent site The Talk. Origins. Archive where you can find both creationist and evolution arguments.

You may look at the simple animation demonstrating the hominid evolution timeline and read a summary of human origins. You may also look at the map showing main fossil localities and read brief description of hominid species.

 
 

The Gorilla: -- So you suggest that we are relatives. A likely story! After all, we apes are much more beautiful, stronger, and cleverer than humans!
