Human evolution is the part of biological evolution concerning the emergence of homo sapiens as a distinct species from other hominans, great apes and placental mammals. It is the subject of a broad scientific inquiry that seeks to understand and describe how this change occurred. The study of human evolution encompasses many scientific disciplines, most notably physical anthropology, linguistics and genetics. The term "human", in the context of human evolution, refers to the genus Homo but studies of human evolution usually include other hominins, such as the australopithecines. Evolution of man Man obviously shares a common ancestry with the modern apes, such as the gorilla^ and chimpanzee. We know this from the many characteristics that are shared between apes and man. Apart from obvious anatomical and behavioural similarities, the two groups also have many blood proteins and other biochemical characteristics in common. A comparison of the SKULLS of a gorilla and a modern man illustrate the main trends that have taken place in human evolution from an ape-like ancestry. But apart from the skull, there have been major changes in the hip bones^ of man during evolution, associated with the change from walking on four legs to walking on two (compare it with a gorilla hind limb^ ). The modern apes and modern man must have had a common ancestry. The earliest apes probably arose in the Oligocene period, and by 25 million years ago had given rise to a large number of forms. Proconsul^, primitive ape from this period, and shows some resemblance to Old World monkeys as well as to modern apes. There is considerable CONTROVERSY over the progress of human evolution, and particularly over when the split took place between the line leading to modern apes and to modern man. In this unit we will concentrate on looking at the features of a few classic fossils which indicate the path of human evolution - the Australopithecenes and the genus Homomohan88
Why did you just copy and paste that crap? It's not worded like a question at all, just a bunch of information. In any case yes humans do share a common ancestry with apes. Refer to your nearest creationist for an answer to the contrary.
Only if you believe in evolution which is wack. it's not even proven. when they have evidence then i'll believe it.iusm78That can go both ways. Meaning that things which are said in The Bible haven't been proven and are a lot harder to believe than evolution.
[QUOTE="iusm78"]Only if you believe in evolution which is wack. it's not even proven. when they have evidence then i'll believe it.Bloodbath_87That can go both ways.
Yeah, except that evolution has been proven to occur. The theory merely deals with the question of how it happens and what factors affect it. Also you'd need to be blind to miss the mountains of evidence supporting it. Or at least wearing very thick sun-glasses.

Well it hasn't been proven to me. I'm in science school and they don't even teach that anymore because it's so lame.
Yes, I am pretty sure that humans evolved from something. Modern science>a thousand-year old book (I'm not anti-religion, but seriously people.)linkthewindow
Whateves, man. The reason the bible is so old is because it was made a long time ago. That's all. That doesn't mean it's not true. Harvard is the oldest college in the US does that mean it's not true?

Whateves, i've even been to a museum where they prove that dinosaurs lived at the same time as man. Thats what they teach at my school and it's the new way of thinking vs the old darwinism way.

Well, in Harvard they teach evolution and accept it as fact, so...
Edit: That repeated 'whateves, man' makes me think this might be a joke.

Your saying that evolution is false because it has no evidence?Ok, your holy book has absolutely no evidence to back up its magnificent claims.Contrary to your believe evolution has loads of evidence to back it up.You simply choose ignorance over truth for the sake of comfort, or are withheld by fear.

lol just because they put up displays in a Creationist Museum doesn't mean it's true. Your school is obviously focusing on religious bias and you're severely misinformed. When, and IF, you ever go to a legitimate University, then you'll be taught properly about Biology and the Theory of Evolution.
In all honesty, I feel sorry for you. Your school is brainwashing you by not teaching you proper biology and science.

I'm not doubting the exsistance of a god or gods, but how can we trust ways of thinking that where created long before the scientific method, and modern science. I don't see how 'faith' can overcome cold, hard, truth. The Bible also says that pi (the number) is 3, the Earth is flat and that everything revolves around the earth. So, by your logic, thorough 'faith' pi is 3, even though it is 3.14 (reccuring,) and that everything revlovles around the earth, even though we have a sun, and that the earth is flat, even though there are satellites. Evo. and the Bible are completly compatible. Just because my teacher does not think that the Earth is flat, believes in thesic evo. and that pi is 3, doesn't make him any less of a Christian. It just means that he realizes that science explains how stuff came to be. The bible asks why.[QUOTE="KG86"][QUOTE="iusm78"][QUOTE="xxDustmanxx"][QUOTE="iusm78"][QUOTE="linkthewindow"]Yes, I am pretty sure that humans evolved from something.

This has gotta to be one of the biggest misconceptions with Evolution... that Humans evolved from Primates. The truth of the matter is that is not the case. What the real deal is that we have same ancestry, that has, however, lead to the creation of two different begins.
With that being said, shame that the misconception is widely believed as it is, because I believe if more people were not so misinformed on the subject, they would have more difficult time denying general fact of Evolution.

Yep, its shocking how many people are willfully ignorant. Schools teach science by law yet they remain ignorant (blissfully?).
