Origins of Humans

By IntroBooks Team

Human evolution can be considered to be a lengthy procedure
of several transformations in which the people originated from
the ape-like ancestors. There are several scientific evidence that
reveals that the behavioral and the physical traits that are
shared by all the organisms have originated from the ape-like
ancestors. They have evolved across lengthy periods of
approximately six million years ago.
One of the earliest human traits that have defined the human
evolution, bipedalism is the ability for walking on two legs have
evolved over four million years ago. There are several other
human characteristics including the complex and human brains,
the ability to make several innovative tools, along with the
complex symbolic representation and elaborative cultural diversity
have emerged mainly during the past several millions of years.
The script mostly focuses on the shortcomings of the Charles
Darwin and his theory, the scientists have represented in the
script are not merely critics of the existing paradigm. Instead,
they go on to share a positive vision that much of the biology
would make better sense from the perspective intelligent design
rather than the unguided Darwinian theory of evolution. Often
mischaracterized, the intelligent design is simply an effort to
investigate in an empirical manner whether the coordinated
features that are found in the nature are the result of the
intelligent causes rather than the undirected process of the
natural selection.
As the intelligent design focuses on whether the development of
life was blind or purposeful, it directly tends to challenge the
second aspect of the Darwinian theory. Nevertheless, the
intelligent design scientists are free for critically assessing the
actual evidence for the common descent, as they do in the
given script.
Even if you consider yourself secular, religious, or something in
between the two notions, the science of the origin of the
human beings raises a deep and continuing questions about
what is means to be human. The script is focused on the
scientific arguments about the theories of human evolution.
However, it should be clear that there is a larger cultural
context to this never-ending debate.
As a famous quote goes as "man is the result of a purposeless
and natural process that did not have him in mind".

Preface

Human evolution can be considered to be a lengthy procedure of several transformations in which the people originated from the ape-like ancestors. There are several scientific evidence that reveals that the behavioral and the physical traits that are shared by all the organisms have originated from the ape-like ancestors. They have evolved across lengthy periods of approximately six million years ago.

One of the earliest human traits that have defined the human evolution, bipedalism is the ability for walking on two legs have evolved over four million years ago. There are several other human characteristics including the complex and human brains, the ability to make several innovative tools, along with the complex symbolic representation and elaborative cultural diversity have emerged mainly during the past several millions of years.

The script mostly focuses on the shortcomings of the Charles Darwin and his theory, the scientists have represented in the script are not merely critics of the existing paradigm. Instead, they go on to share a positive vision that much of the biology would make better sense from the perspective intelligent design rather than the unguided Darwinian theory of evolution. Often mischaracterized, the intelligent design is simply an effort to investigate in an empirical manner whether the coordinated features that are found in the nature are the result of the intelligent causes rather than the undirected process of the natural selection.

As the intelligent design focuses on whether the development of life was blind or purposeful, it directly tends to challenge the second aspect of the Darwinian theory.
