This webite focuses on Human Evolution, or the Evolution of man. It looks at our past and our history from an Anthropological (anthropology) point of view. We evolved from apes through many different stages including the hominid Species "Hominid" refers to members of the human family, Hominidae, which consist of all species from the point where the human line splits from apes towards present day humans. Habitual bipedal locomotion (movement on two legs), an upright position, and ...

When did humans evolve? Who are our ancestors? Why did we evolve?
At the turn of the century, scientists could only dream about finding the answers to these questions. The fossilized remains of a species known as Neanderthal had been found, and there was a primitive, human-like skull that had been discovered in Indonesia. Beyond that, there was little hard evidence to work with.
With the 1912 "discovery" o ...

DNA Shows Neandertals Were Not Our Ancestors
For photos click here
7-11-97
University Park, Pa. -- A team of U.S. and German researchers has extracted mitochondrial DNA from Neandertal bone showing that the Neandertal DNA sequence falls outside the normal variation of modern humans.
"These results indicate that Neandertals did not contribute mitochondrial DNA to modern humans," says Dr. Mark Stoneking, associate professor of anthropology at Penn State. "Neandertals are not our ancestors." ...

Early Man: Neanderthal Man (Homo neanderthalensis)
In 1856 workers quarrying for limestone in the Neander Valley near Duesseldorf, Germany came across a skull and bones. In the succeeding years many other specimens were found, not only in the Neander Valley, but in countries such as France, England, Italy, Iraq and as far south as Israel.
Controversy surrounded the interpretation of these fossils. German Anatomist Rudolf Virchow examined the first discovery and concluded that it was a Homo sa ...

Human Prehistory: An Exhibition
THE FIRST HUMANS
Africa is the cradle of human race. Anthropologists have unearthed the oldest human skeletons in East Africa in places such as Hadar, Olduvai, Laetoli. One of the best preserved human remnants is a female skeleton found at Hadar in Ethiopia. Anthropologists assembled about 40% of the young girl that was given the nick name "Lucy". Lucy was dated between 3.6 and 3 million years ago and belongs to the Australopethicus category.

Homo erectus
The oldest findings of Homo erectus are known from east Africa, and are about 1.8 million years old. During the next 1.5 million years, H. erectus spread to north Africa, Europe and Asia. The size of the brain increased markedly from the earliest to the last members of this species. Homo erectus was the first member of the human family to use fire. The volume of the brain varied from 800 to 1200 cm3, but the hemisphaerical brain was proportionally smaller than in modern humans.

Images of Neandertals
Since they were discovered, the general public has always wanted to know what Neandertals look like, and many artists have attempted to show us. The results have been remarkably variable, and a few of them are shown on this page. Generally, older pictures tend to show Neandertals as more ape-like and primitive, while modern depictions are more like modern humans.
For more examples, see The Neandertals, Trinkaus and Shipman 1992, or In Search of the Neanderthals, Stringer ...

SITE INDEX
WASHINGTON—A trail of fossilized footprints left more than 100,000 years ago by an anatomically modern human has been found on the shore of a South African lagoon. The fossils, found in a sand-dune-turned-rock dated at 117,000 years ago, are the oldest known footprints of an anatomically modern human.

The Case of the Arboricidal Megaherbivores

I have chosen to present this model of the extinctions at the end of the Pleistocene in the form of a detective story. In the traditional detective story the reader is asked to consider a wide variety of apparently unconnected clews which the detective then pulls together in a convincing story of how and why the crime was committed. This paper also asks the reader to consider a widely divergent set of facts, some of which ...
