Did the ancestors of humans evolve from monkeys?

The ancestors of humans were apes. Apes began to emerge in the Oligocene, about 30 million years ago. However, not all apes are direct ancestors of humans, and some apes are human"Uncle", some apes are human"Uncle"。

The apes, which anthropologists consider to be the ancestors of humans, appeared very late. It is the Rama ape, named after one of the heroic princes of the ancient Indian epics, Rama (Rama's translation is now unified as Rama). They lived about 10 million to 15 million years ago.

Rama apes were first discovered in Mount Sivalik, India, Pakistan. In the late 60s of this century, Rudaaucus found in the Early Eocene coal seams of Hungary also belonged to Rama ape. In particular, a fairly complete mandible fossil of the Rama ape type found in the limeba coal kiln in Lufeng County, Yunnan Province, China in 1976 is the most complete and closest to the early ancestor of humans of the same kind found in the world.

The time is also more than 10 million years ago. According to the excavations, the body of Lufeng Australopithecus is the size of a chimpanzee, with a short snout and underdeveloped canine teeth, which is not commonly used by ordinary apes"**"。However, their intelligence is slightly higher than that of other animals, which, combined with their frequent activities in the open ground, prompts them to further divide their hands and feet.

Therefore, it is believed that Lufeng Australopithecus was able to grasp branches or other natural objects with their hands for defense and feeding. In this case, the hands have been divided, and the legs should be able to stand upright.

According to evolution, no. The ancestors of humans were Australopithecus.

No, Darwin's theory of evolution was overturned.

No, it's only partial, but anyway, I don't agree with this evolutionary theory and doubt its authenticity.

What evolved is that a group of apes do not want to live in trees or the trees can no longer meet their survival needs, so they go to live on land, and plant food on land can no longer satisfy them, so they begin to hunt animals, in the process of capturing animals, the strength of the lower limbs and the flexibility of the mind (the strategy implemented for hunting is a good exercise for the mind) have improved, probably for this reason.

It is believed that man evolved from apes for just over 100 years, and there is not only the theory of evolution, but also the fossilized head of a primitive man.

One of the most notorious sciences in modern history** was once the jewel of the British Museum, the Beldown Man.

The Beldown Man fossil was discovered in 1912 in a gravel pit in Sussexhire in southern England. The discovery of the fossil has caused a strong international response, and its excavation is believed to fill a void in the link from ape to man. The fossils are named after the village where they were found, called Beldownians.

These fossils have long been talked about as a result of the world's attention. At the time, the fossils were thought to be 500,000 years old. What's more, it is believed to fill the gap in the bond from ape to man in the evolution of humans.

The fossil's skull is large, resembling a human brain, and the mandible is indeed ape-like. Forty years later, it was discovered that it was actually the skull of modern humans and the mandible of an orangutan.

However, Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London admits that there are indications that it is not as old as people thought at the time. He said that its teeth were flat, now known to be the mandibles of an orangutan, and that it looked very old as if it had been deliberately soiled, and that its teeth were filed flat with a metal knife.

This fake fossil has led scientists down the wrong path. The high forehead and well-developed chin of the Beldown man further confirm the misconception that the human brain was large early in the evolutionary process of species.

Some of the fossils of real hominin found in South Africa in 1925 were rejected by the British on the grounds that they did not resemble the fossils of Man Beldown. It wasn't until more than 40 years later that scientists at Oxford and the British Museum used chemical tests to prove that the fossils of the Beldown Man were a big one.

However, in fact, some people guessed it long before that. As MacLeod, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, said. Because the new scientific theories about the evolution of man from apes were at a high level at that time, people were so happy that they lost the ability to reason objectively in the face of such a trendy discovery.

Almost.

Humans, modern apes, and modern monkeys all originated from primitive primates in ancient times. About 30 million years ago, primitive primates diverged into two branches, one evolved into monkeys and the other evolved into australopithecus.

About 20 million years ago, Australopithecus diverged again, one evolved into modern gibbons and the other into humans and modern apes.

About 8 million years ago, the ancestors of modern gorillas continued to diverge from this branch.

Humans evolved on their own about 5 million years ago when they diverged from the common ancestor of modern chimpanzees and humans. Modern humans, on the other hand, only appeared about 2.5 million years ago.

No. 1. If the blood of an ape is ejaculated into the human body, the person will die immediately 2. There are 10 pairs of ribs in apes, and 12 pairs of ribs in humans. It's just that most people don't know.

No. It should be said that humans and apes have a common ancestor, both evolved from ancient primates. Ancient primates appeared about 55 million years ago.

In the late Eocene, 50 million years ago, primitive monkeys and apes evolved from primitive primates, and evolved separately.

Australopithecus evolved from Australopithecus.

Australopithecus belongs to the family Primates. An important feature that distinguishes the hominidae from the apes is that it is the only primate that can walk upright on two legs. The earliest Australopithecus fossil was found in 1924 at the Towne Quarry in the Cape Province of South Africa, and the fossil was the skull of a young Australopithecus skull.

Professor Dart conducted research on fossils. He found that the skull resembled an ape, but it had many human characteristics; Although the brain is small, it is more human-like than the chimpanzee's brain; Judging by the location of the foramen magnum at the base of the skull, he was able to walk upright.

So, in 1925, he published an article proposing that Towne's infant was a type located between ape and man, and named it australopithecus. This caused a heated debate in the anthropological circles of the time, as most anthropologists at the time believed that a well-developed brain was the hallmark of a person.

Subsequently, in South Africa and other parts of Africa, anthropologists discovered hundreds of ape-man fossils. After various studies, it was not until the 60s of the 20th century that the anthropological community gradually unanimously affirmed that Australopithecus was the fossil of the earliest stage of human evolution, and was classified into the family Homo in taxonomy.

Australopithecus lived between 1 million and 4.2 million years ago. They can be divided into two main types: slender and stout.

Initially, some also considered the differences between the two types to be male and female. The slender type, also known as the African Australopithecus, is about the height of the left and right, the skull is relatively smooth, there is no sagittal protrusion, the eyebrow arch is obviously prominent, and the facial bone is relatively small. The stout type, also known as Australopithecus stout or Australopithecus baueres, is about about tall, has a distinct sagittal ridge in the skull, and has a relatively large facial bone (Fig. 7-1).

Judging from their teeth, the incisors and canines of the stout Australopithecus are smaller, but the molars are large (and the jaws are also thicker), indicating that they are mainly plant-based, while the slender Australopithecus is omnivorous. It is believed that the slender type further evolved into Homo sapiens, while the stout type became extinct about 1 million years ago.

The foramen magnum of the occipital bone of Australopithecus australopithecus is located on the ventral surface of the skull, the spine is curved, the pelvis is short and wide, and the ankle bone is between a man and a typical ape, suggesting that the skeletal scaffold part of Australopithecus is already suitable for upright walking. However, they have longer arms, more developed shoulder muscles, and long toes, which are good for grasping. As a result, Australopithecus can walk upright and climb in forests, but it is not yet suitable for long walks and runs in grasslands.

There is evidence that they live in small clusters of more than 10 people, the equivalent of an expanded family.

To date, the earliest hominin fossils found by paleoanthropologists are about 4 million years old, a gap of 5 million years between this and the latest fossils of Australopithecus (about 10 million years ago), which anthropologists call the "missing link". Once these missing links are filled, the mystery of the origin of humanity will be further solved.

Passing on from generation to generation, the genes are constantly changing, and children continue to learn survival skills and new roots from their parents in life.
