Welcome!

As technological advances allow us to learn more about the past, and as more schools are sure to keep theories of evolution in the classroom and creation theories out, there are many misconceptions about human evolution. There are many theories faught over by scientists just as religions have been fighting for centuries. The only thing not disputed however, is what Charles Darwin first claimed in the 19th century: we all come from the same source of life through a process of natural selection.

This blog will be a weekly update on new theories in the world of human evolution and the natural history of humans. Yes, we evolved from a similar ancestor to chimpanzees, and yes, before that our ancestors can be traced to some of the smallest mammals - such as the ancestors of squirrels.
