Origin And Evolution And Humans - A Myth Or Factual

Human Origin

The patterns and mechanisms of evolution is the central subject of this book. Undoubtedly one of the most interesting chapters of evolution represents for us the relevance of these principles in the knowledge of ourselves and our origins. In this last try just what we know about human evolution. We will see the evidence we have about that man is part of the evolutionary phenomenon of adaptive revolutions represents the human being as well as the appearance of the generation of species close to man. At the end we will play an aspect we have not touched so far. We refer to the implications for the organic evolution of man have had a civilization and culture, that is, discuss the issues that caused the birth and development of another kind of evolution in our species, cultural revolution (Bednarik & Robert ,85 - 102). This phenomenon, as we shall see, is rooted in our capacity to understand and transmit symbols that form the basis of our culture. Of course, at no time forget that human beings are part of the universe as any other species. That although the current adaptations enable us to manage our environment in a very clever, it does not distance us more than other agencies the ability for bees to find areas with flowers and transmit that information to their peers. As they enjoy certain skills, but eventually both coexist on this earth and therefore we are no different.

Symbols and Art on Fossil Records through the Periods of Human Evolution

The oldest fossil record of a hominid is dating back about 12 million years. It was found in the hills of Siwalk, Pakistan. They have also been found in parts of India, Turkey and East Africa. It was an animal close to us because of the remains has been seen that the teeth are like a group that includes gorillas, chimpanzees, gibbons and orangutans. These are the closest living relatives of man, and have been named together as Ramapithecus. But how close are they? One feature that distinguishes us from chimpanzees and gorillas is that while we have the flat side, they have a snout (mouth bulging). Reconstructions of the jaws of Ramapithecus have been concluded that his face, though not as flat as ours, was not as prominent as that of chimpanzees and gorillas. From this (which incidentally is the only element that can analyze because we have no traces of other bones), we can easily say that gorillas and chimpanzees are less connected to the Ramapithecus man (Cann & Genetic, 1742-1748). Unfortunately we do not know if these animals walked on two legs or four, and we have no remains of the pelvis and femur would tell us how to walk. The Ramapithecus appear in the fossil record about 14 million years ago and disappeared about eight million. Perhaps other animals were the direct ancestors of humanity, but for now these are the most likely candidates ...
