In 1871, the physician Eugene Dubois had discoverd in Java a human fossil. The skull was more robust than humans and the size of the brain was smaller. This fossil was too humanlike to be the missing link between us and apes. But distressed by the opposition between religion and science, Dubois decided to buried the fossil of ''Homo erectus''in his house and he hid it for three decades. | |||
In 1924, Dart a porfessor of anatomy at the University of Witwatersrand, but also an amateur of anthropology had discovered one of the greatest fossil. While he was at a wedding, a postman brought him two boxes containing bones fragment. When he oppened the boxes, he discovered a replica of a brain three time larger than a baboon's brain and bigger than a brain of an adult chimpanzee. The size oh this replica of the brain was not big enough to be a primitive man... | |||

WHAT ABOUT US?
Darwin's theory of Evolution
The theory of Darwin suggested that all living creatures are related to one another. The fishes, the birds, the mammals, the plants, and so on all have a common ancestor. There might just have been modifications and mutations that came along the long process of evolution.

Darwin said that the early humans migrated out of Afica and then into Asia about 2 million years ago. And then eventually reached Europe.
The human's ancestors
Darwin affirmed that humans had envolved from apes. He said that the mutation of the apelike species, which included the higher mental faculties of humans could be explain by the natural selection...
