Ape To Man 1of10

Beginning with the discovery of ancient fossils found in Germany at a time when Charles Darwins "The Origin Of Species" had not even tapped into the publics consciousness, "Ape To Man" is an engaging and entertaining documentary that features both re-enactments of various paleoentological expeditions and their discoveries as well as dramatizations depicting how these ancient ancestors to contemporary humans might have appeared and behaved. From Eugene Dubois discovery of Homo erectus in 1890, Raymond Darts discovery of Taung Child in 1920, through the fraudulent creation of Piltdown Man, the mistake of Nebraska Man to the contemporary DNA tests performed by top scientists and researchers, "Ape To Man" raises some interesting insight into the origin of humanity with interview clips of distinguished professors in the fields of anthropology, palaeo-anthropology, anatomy, philosophy and biology, each discussing the ever-changing understanding of humanitys origins. Among the interesting insights revealed is that the size of the brain was not so much a deciding factor in development of the species, but how they used their environment to create tools going as far back to the first upright walking descendent to move from one tree to the next for food and safety millions of years ago.

whoever says that evolution "disproves" god and that evolution is saying that theres no god is a damn fool....all evolution is saying is how god created us....just because it doesnt show it like this in the bible doesnt mean its wrong. and im not a religious guy or anything....but just saying

@2cool0 Evolution is a chronological change in alellic frequency in reproducing populations. It makes no reference for or against any of the thousands of proposed supernatural entities.

@77705000000000000000 No. The Qu'ran is inaccurate regarding embryology.

@2cool0 Oh, well certainly. However, what evolution absolutely does say is that a supernatural deity is not necessary to explain the amazing diversity and complexity of life. And that is significant. And besides the God Hypothesis will always be impossible to falsify to a certain breed of True Believers.

Didnt know the pope had 148 accounts...

@djarm67 , Those deities who are claimed to have designed any species without genetic inheritance from another species are disproved by evolution.

@Jake4595 * It makes sense to me,on the whole.A scientist can be jaded too.Religions are man made,and used to rule the masses.Some need them,I don't bother with such people. Mans "being" has energy,THIS is his link to the unseen,but felt. With no one near me,I was PUSHED HARD,out of the way,of where a car crashed,5 seconds later.This has happened to me more than once,an energy influencing me.

@billy1212ist when i say faith, i meant belief, and when i say belief, i meant knowledge. Do you base your point of view on your knowledge? I know we all do. But where did you get the knowledge? that is the question. Manmade knowledge is knowledge. It can be true or not, but as long as the world agree to it, it is knowledge. SO my point is, dont trust in a "fact" too much. notice how i quoted the word fact. Im a firm believer in evolution, but is it true or not? dont matter. But its knowledge

@billy1212ist The smell theory isn't mine and it was highly considered possible by the academic community. You see when your talking large expanses of time for transition there would be a definite period where man was very vulnerable between the trees and plains. I'm not here to argue with the likes of you so don't call me foolish the foot is extremely important for the need of a developed brain. anyways a large brain cavity doesn't mean squat it's the ability to use it.

[billy1212ist]

@pdxeddie1111 ,,,,,You are foolish.Well they look for fire remains,ash and smoke,or soot markings.Charcoal used in drawing etc.Backwards until they don't find it with frequency.Also tools that were used etc.Our BRAIN was the reason that we were not wiped out,and Scientists are well aware of that fact.Your "smell" theory goes great with the rest of your nonsense.The book,"The Naked Ape" by Desmon Morris,will explain it all for you.

@Jake4595 --- And "Dude",.Who asked you what faith you are? Do you ever see anyone besides Atheists and Christians announcing their belief system ?" I eat ape meat,and I am a Morman." or "I crap like a monkey,and I am a Scientologist." NO,....so why ?
