Humanity did not originate in Africa, but in Europe. This sensational statement was made by an international research group from the University of Tubingen, the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the University of Toronto

Few people know that even before Darwin, they began to collect the theory of evolution of Darwin in pieces, taking some facts and ignoring others

Scientists still cannot clearly explain the phenomenon of the Cro-Magnon appearance on our planet - modern man

Human evolution? This exciting theme involves two main points: the origin of man and his further development. Both that and another cause controversy, lasting more than one hundred years. Darwinism opposes religious interpretations

Scientists, theologians, philosophers - Since ancient times, everyone has been trying to answer the question of where man came from on Earth. At the same time, theorists were divided into three camps: some believe in divine providence, others - in Darwin, the rest - in alien intervention

In at least 6 fragments of the genome, humans and chimpanzees have the same combinations of genetic variants; in 119 fragments the coincidences were quite serious, but not so obvious

Disputes about his theory of evolution do not subside to this day, although they often have no relation to the original source. Where in Moscow can one find out the whole truth about Charles Robert Darwin? Naturally at the Darwin Museum

Archaeologists from Novosibirsk managed to unearth an enterprise for the creation of weapons by primitive people, which, according to preliminary estimates, is more than 800 thousand years old

For many millennia, scientists have tried to unravel not only the mystery of the death of the legendary continents of Atlantis and Lemurmi. Many secrets are also associated with the legend about the longevity of their inhabitants

Scientists have reconstructed the history of the culinary preferences of our ancestors and answered the question: is it worth returning to the Paleolithic diet? Among fans of proper nutrition there is an idea that our distant ancestors were distinguished by good health, then

Sharp leaps in the development of human ancestors followed global climate changes, as evidenced by the climatic "chronicles" imprinted in the deposits of dust and sand in marine sedimentary rocks on the African coast, write the German and British pas

How far apart are human and chimpanzee genomes really different? Scientists have been solving the riddle of "simultaneous" minimum and maximum difference for several years. How much human and chimpanzee genomes actually diverge

There are two main hypotheses in the world regarding the origin of man. According to one of them, man originated from God, in other words, was created in his image and likeness. According to the other, man is a descendant of a monkey … The first hypothesis, of course, flatters Homo sapiens

The discussion about the creation of the world and the possibility of the evolutionary development of species, about the hypothesis of creationism and the hypothesis of evolution dies down and flares up with renewed vigor. Recently, 150 years have passed since the publication of The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin

In the depths of the Rising Star Cave in South Africa, archaeologists have discovered the remains of three representatives of Homo naledi. The age of the remains suggests that this species of hominini was still alive about 335-236 thousand years ago

Spanish paleontologists have made an unusual find: they managed to find the remains of a family of 12 Neanderthals killed approximately 49,000 years ago. The characteristic marks on the bones of the Neanderthals indicate that they were killed and then eaten

The first Cro-Magnons appeared on the territory of Indonesia unexpectedly early, about 73 thousand years ago, several thousand years before the first "volcanic end of the world" and the extinction of the mysterious "hobbits" from the island of Flores, according to an article published

Despite the fact that our distant ancestors sometimes seem to us little different from animals, they possessed some secrets that modern people with all their knowledge are not always able to unravel

The remains show that the dispersal of Homo sapiens from Africa began much earlier than it was believed

Biologists have established that the Pan paniscus bonobos are capable of cannibalism. Until now, these monkeys were considered one of the most peaceful

It is believed that a person close to the modern type first appeared in Africa. The first wave of migration to Europe began about 1.5 million years ago

It is not customary to talk about this topic in a decent society, and experts avoid touching on it once again. However, judging by the results of the excavations, the childhood of mankind was cruel and bloody

An international team of anthropologists has revised the timing and place of the first representatives of Homo (people). Two relevant studies are published in PLOS ONE and are briefly reported by the University of Toronto (Canada)

There were several humanities on Earth that developed in parallel, one of the authors of the scientific sensation is convinced. The fact that there were several "trial" humanities on Earth is now genetically proven

An analysis of an ancient human ancestor skull found in Georgia has shown that, perhaps, different species of the genus Homo are actually one, according to an article published in the journal Science

A group of anthropological scientists discovered the fossilized remains of an ancient man, over two million years old. During excavations, scientists stumbled upon fossils in the form of a large tooth and a finger

The discovery casts doubt on the theory of human African descent Scientists have discovered the skulls of unknown to science fossil human ancestors

British scientists have decoded the genome of their ancient ancestor - the so-called Cheddar man. And recreated his appearance

According to the findings of the researchers, many genealogies around the world, especially of South Asian origin, in fact, have much more from the Denisovsky man - a mysterious population of hominids who lived at about the same time as not

In the genome of an extinct species - denisovets - unusual pieces of DNA have been found that seem to have come from some other group, possibly evidence of a completely different kind of hominin, still unknown to science

Can this primitive creature really be considered the ancestor of man, as many modern scientists suggest? On the morning of November 30, 1974

Today, very little is known about our ancestors who lived in the Stone Age. For a long time, there was an opinion that these people were cave dwellers who walked with a club

The remains of an individual who lived in northern Italy about 30 to 40 thousand years ago are considered a hybrid of a man and a Neanderthal. If further analysis proves the correctness of the assumption, this will be the first direct evidence of such a crossing

Scientists from the University of Utah in the United States have found that the Neanderthals and Denisovans separated from each other about 744 thousand years ago. According to previous estimates, this event happened 200 thousand years later

Almost every year archaeologists pull out objects from oblivion that change our ideas about ancestors. It would seem that a caveman and a piece of jewelry are incompatible concepts

Human language still has no clear definition. No one knows exactly when and how he appeared. There is an assumption that our ancestors began to speak when the hands - the main communication tool in the world of primates - were busy

The question of how old the human race is: seven thousand, two hundred thousand, two million or a billion is still open. There are several versions. Let's consider the main ones
