Evolution Test - 11

Homo sapiens arose in Africa and moved across continentsand developed into distinct races. During ice age between 75,000-10,000 years ago modern Homo sapiens arose. Pre-historic cave art developed about 18,000 years ago. Agriculture came around 10,000 years back and human settlements started.

Agriculture came around 10,000 years back and human settlements started. After starting of agriculture, the human civilization started the grows and decline many times.

Common origin of man and chimpanzee is best shown by chromosomes. Both human beings and chimpanzee shows similar kinds of chromosome in terms of number and size.

The Neanderthal man with a brain size of 1400cc lived in near east and central Asia between 1,00,000-40,000 years back. They used hides to protect their body and buried their dead.

Among the stories of evolution of individual species, the story of evolution of modern man is most interesting and appears to parallel evolution ofhuman brain and language. Homo habilis have brain size 650cc-800cc that evolved to 1400cc in Homo sapiens.

Fossil evidence indicates that original place for start of human evolution was Africa. They moved across continents and developed into distinct race.

Humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and their extinct ancestors form a family of organisms known as the Hominidae. Researchers generally agree that among the living animals in this group, humans are most closely related to chimpanzees, judging from comparisons of anatomy and genetics.

It is interesting to note that banding pattern of human chromosome is very similar and in few cases identical to the banding pattern of apparently homologous chromosomes in great apes.

Neanderthal Man is direct ancestor of human. They lived near central and east Asia. They used hide to protect their body and buried their dead.

Homo habilis were first man like creatures. Homo erectus arose about 1.5 Maya ago and present human beings, Homo sapiens arose in Africa during ice age.
