Early Human


From early human evolution of primates until the upright standing primate is amazing. To see how primates came from early Ardipithecus ramidus apes that walked on the ground to Homo erectus and then Homo sapiens to which everyone belonging to this group has truly been evolution at its best. Also to see the evolving of these primates’ facial structures, head size, brain size and skeletal structure and the fossils to support the theory of such life before in past eras, all of these are amazing discoveries.
Then to have the discovery of Lucy whose skeletal systems is much similar to a human female was a noted discovery that depicted the evolving of bones and their function through time. One would say that Lucy was short in statue but had all the anatomical classification of human bones was there but yet Lucy was still classified as a chimpanzee and not a human. There were primates like Lucy that superseded her lineage for that era which still proves that science is still not complete, therefore resulting in more work that needs to be done. This leads me to believe humans are truly complex beings even through the evolution process.
Then there is Eve. According to DNA one could say all humans originated from this one Homo sapiens’ DNA. Not only from this one Homo sapiens but the one that was in Africa. According to the results one can conclude that all life forms for humans started in Africa. The results also stated that the primate could not have been a man .Reason being is based on the fact that only a woman has DNA in their mitochondria. Although the information entered may not be correct and according to how the data is used all will agree that the most DNA collected was from Africa. All leading one to believe that at one point in time primates originated in Africa but as time progress and the evolution of such there was an exodus out of Africa.
Regardless if one believes in evolution or not there are components that exist to prove that at one point in time these primates existed. To the extent of the existence is a preference in beliefs. When all the information is gathered one will say that life form for these primates were advanced and they made remarkable contribution to science.
