Human evolution

Jump to: navigation, search

Human evolution is the part of biological evolution concerning the emergence of homo sapiens as a distinct species from other hominans, great apes and placental mammals. It is the subject of a broad scientific inquiry that seeks to understand and describe how this change occurred. The study of human evolution encompasses many scientific disciplines, most notably physical anthropology, linguistics and genetics.

The term "human", in the context of human evolution, refers to the genus Homo, but studies of human evolution usually include other hominins, such as the australopithecines and the various races of man, some of whom may have evolved more recently than others.

[edit] Evolution and Christianity

Although atheistic scientists claim that evolution is true; many Christians who base their faith on the Bible, believe that it is simply an attempt to avoid God's teachings.
