Since at least the Upper Paleolithic era‚ some 40‚000 years ago‚ every human society has devised a creation myth to explain how humans came to be.

Human Evolution is just a theory. Hominids began to come to life about four to five million years ago and only one will adapt to become us. Many species had to adapt to their environment or die off. The result of changes in the environment made us today. Australopithecus aferensis are one of the first hominids‚ also known as the Australopith. The Australopith had a reason why they had to stand up on two legs. Eight million years ago‚ Africa was covered with tropical rain forests. Suddenly‚ tectonic

Human Evolution‚ lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people evolved over a period of at least 6 million years. A. From Ape To Man Fossils from several different early australopith species that lived between 4 million and 2 million years ago clearly show a variety of adaptations that mark the transition from ape to human. The very early period of this transition‚ prior to 4 million
