Evolution from ape to man. From Proconsul to Homo heidelbergensis

For Millions of years, our planet has been floating in space. Millions of creatures have lived on its surface. Many a quaint being was among them, but they affected only our, human imagination, for in the evolutionary struggle we are the only ones who have obtained the advantage of reason.

Evolution from ape to man

Thanks to cameraman live from million years ago for the documentary

human long ago: survival mode
human now: creative mode

I feel people honestly don't appreciate or understand the vast amounts of time this all took place over. It's really mind-boggling. Generation after generation reproducing over endless time with little changes here and there eventually adding up to whole new species. It's crazy to think about, but totally makes sense.

FUN FACT: All chordates possess a tail and pharyngeal slits at some point in their lives, and humans are no exception. Early on in human development, the embryo has both a tail and pharyngeal slits, both of which are lost during the course of development. Pharyngeal slits are openings in the pharynx of a vertebrate embryo that develop into gill arches in the bony fishes and into the jaws and inner ear in the terrestrial vertebrates. Pharyngeal slits and tails are found in the embryos of all vertebrates because they share as common ancestors the fish in which these structures first evolved.

Every human embryo starts to develop a tail for a brief period during our embryonic development. At between 4 and 5 weeks of age, the normal human embryo has 10–12 developing tail vertebrae. It is most pronounced at around day 31 to 35 of gestation and then regresses into the four or five fused vertebrae becoming our coccyx.

[RandallWilks]

Denial is not refutation. There is a reason creationists keep attacking a man who has been dead for 130 years; it's a soft target, so much easier to attack a dead man than evolution itself which comes from the combined work of the millions of scientists in multiple fields of study.

why is no one talking about how beautiful the animation is.

Monke no wanted leave tree. Monke leave tree. Sad monke. Now human.

[RandallWilks]

GOD WAS A TREMENDOUS INVENTION AND A GREAT BENEFIT TO MANKIND. Before man created God, they felt really stupid. Confronted with any question, all they could say was "Gee, I don't know" and no matter how hard they thought, they couldn't think of a better answer.

Then someone came up with the brilliant idea of God. It was wonderful, it obviated the need to think about anything. The answer could always be "Gee, I don't know, it must be God." Problem solved. The "God concept" alleviated the need to think about mundane things and they could concentrate on serious questions, like "How many bibles can we sell?" There was no incentive for human intellect to advance beyond that of ancient goat herders. Religions need to perpetuate ignorance in order to preserve their influence.

It is quite likely that the "god concept" originated with Homo erectus as an explanation for thunder.

Clueless creatard cliche number 96: Evolution means modern animals should be turning into humans.

Reality: Evolution is about promoting the survival of the species. That does not mean becoming human. Wolves evolving into dogs is an example.

This is the proof, cameramen are immortal

[happilysecular]

Clueless creatard cliche number 67: Evolution is just a theory.

Reality: Germs. gravity and DNA are also “just a theory”. In science, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can incorporate laws, hypotheses and facts. Intelligence design on the other hand is an example of the everyday use of the word “theory”, as it has no proof. Even theistic scientists know this.

[RandallWilks]

Atheism is a non prophet world view that rejects magic as an explanation.

" Man was now armed "
sounds more of a threat than a evolutionary level-up

[BlGGESTBROTHER]

What blows my mind is that out of all the generations of hominids born before me stretching back millions of years; I was lucky enough to be born now, in the only time it's been possible to know about our hominid ancestors! *hits bong again*

Scientists speak when they have something to say. Creationists speak because they must say something.
