Why We Study Human Origins
by Randall Susman Calliope: Exploring World History
Through out years people have wanted to know how humans came to be. One of the first community to provide information from the past was religion. But as all of you know even in the past there were more then one religion which meant more then one possible answer. Then around the nineteenth century a scientist named Charles Darwin came along and made started talking about human evolution and how humans evolved from monkeys and apes. Of course because this was the nineteenth century there was no solid evidence like fossils and bones not until Henry Huxley showed up and found the first skeleton of what scientists say are our ancestors. He also made a daring discovery, according to the author “Huxley believed that anatomically,African apes and humans were similar, more similar in fact than apes were to monkeys.” This is interesting because when you look at an ape, it's looks resemble a monkey, but on the inside they are human like. In conclusion nobody yet figured out how we came to be and that's one of the mysteries which will take time to solve.
