     Extractions: Human Evolution In chimpanzee society, a child would not know who his father was, the females having multiple partners. Early human culture would also have been characterized by the females choosing procreation partners at their own discretion, not an unlikely scenario considering that this is not an uncommon human aboriginal social constellation. A male often forms his allegiance with the next generation, not through his own progeny, but through his sister's. Jane Goodall informs us that in chimpanzee society the bonds of intimacy move through the mother (Goodall, ). It is siblings that form the closest bonds after the bond of mother with child. Lewis Henry Morgan ( ) made clear with his kinship studies that human societies up to historic times often operated with the males raising or mentoring their sister's sons, it being unclear to males who their own progeny were in societies with promiscuous social structures. "It is very difficult to decide how far changed conditions, such as of climate, food, etc., have acted in a definite manner. There is reason to believe that in the course of time the effects have been greater than can be proved by clear evidence." Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, 6th addition, 1872, p. 139. (referring to the inheritance of acquired characteristics)

     Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search This article is about the general evolution of humans . For a timeline see Timeline of human evolution Human evolution , or anthropogenesis , is the origin and evolution of Homo sapiens as a distinct species from other hominids great apes and placental mammals . The study of human evolution encompasses many scientific disciplines, including physical anthropology primatology archaeology linguistics and genetics The term "human" in the context of human evolution refers to the genus Homo , but studies of human evolution usually include other hominids , such as the Australopithecines , from which the genus Homo had diverged by about 2.3 to 2.4 million years ago in Africa. Scientists have estimated that humans branched off from their common ancestor with chimpanzees about 5–7 million years ago. Several species and subspecies of Homo evolved and are now extinct . These include Homo erectus , which inhabited Asia, and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis , which inhabited Europe. Archaic Homo sapiens evolved between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago.
