Fossil evidence is scarce for early stages of evolution in the ape family tree at the time before apes and the ancestors of humans diverged. A 13-million-year-old skull now offers insights into ape development a
Russell Tuttle synthesizes a vast literature in primate evolution and behavior to explain how apes and humans evolved in relation to one another and why humans became a bipedal, tool-making, culture-inventing species distinct from other hominoids. He refutes the theory that we are sophisticated,...
Human evolution has occurred over the last few million years (Table 5.1), stemming from a common ancestor with other apes, such as chimpanzees and bonobos. Over the past 7 million years, becoming human involved moving from a forest habitat into a savanna-like habitat; a significant change in...
MIND—evolution created our brains to feel and think in unevolved ways. Here is the scienceDarwin's Blank Slate—evolution packed our brains with genes. But not to create cognitive gadgets—the Pinker myth—but neural freedom—minds liberated from the past with the power to invent and share ...
Soon human will reach a point where they can force evolution on themselves through technology. A good example of this is through gene selection where prospective parents choose their child’s trait before birth. This is the avenue of human evolution will take in near future leading to a boom ...

the selection differential calculated as the difference between the mean of the trait before and after selection (Falconer, 1960). This equation is central to much of the subsequent contributions to the field, especially in the application of principles of the neutral theory to phenotypic evolution....
The evolution of human and ape hand proportions. Previous observations on modern ape thoraces and limbs suggest that living apes show similar but not identical adaptations to accommodate similar functional demands related to specialized climbing and suspension (especially Pan and Pongo), reinforcing the...

The archaeological record provides a unique, long-term view of the evolution of human behavior. The study of human evolution includes an examination of the physical, genetic, and behavioral variation of the hominin lineage since we diverged from other apes some seven million years ago or more. ...
