Truth about Evolution

The most powerful species does not survive, nor does the most intelligent species ... but the species that is most capable of adapting to change will be able to preserve its existence in nature.

"Charles Darwin"

Scientists have discovered a great deal of evidence for human evolution, and this evidence comes in many forms. Thousands of human fossils enable researchers and students to study the changes that have taken place in the last 6 million years in the lifestyle of the early human species in brain and body size, movement, diet, and other things. Prehistoric records give us an absolute picture of stone tools, sculptures, paintings, footprints, and other aspects of human behavior, where and how Homo sapiens lived early, and when certain technological inventions were invented. Studies of human genetics show how closely we relate to other primates chimpanzees, gorillas, and bonobos. In fact, how connected we are to all other living things.

 Fossils found (of Homo) indicate the prehistoric migration of Homo sapiens. Advances in the history of fossils and specimens help determine the age of these fossils, which contribute to the various milestones of human evolution and the larger picture of evolutionary history.

Take the DNA of humans and other primates ...! That it is no longer possible for a denial evolution to be denied.

DNA

 We are all aware of the fact that the DNA in our cells reflects the unique identity of each individual and how close we are to each other. All these facts are before us today from the study of DNA.

 The same is true of the relationship between organisms. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that forms the genome of an organism in the nucleus of each cell. It consists of genes, which are molecular codes for proteins. Which form the building blocks of our tissues and their functions. It consists of the molecular codes that regulate gene production (ie, the time and degree of protein formation).

 DNA shapes any living thing and tells us how an organism grows and the physiology of its body, bones, and brain.

Thus, DNA is especially important in the study of evolution. The difference between one species and another is the amount of DNA difference. And so it tells us how close or distant they are.

Today, the genetic difference between us humans and other primates is small. About 0.1%, on average. A study of these same aspects of the chimpanzee genome indicates a difference of approximately 1.2%. Bonobo, a close cousin of the chimpanzee (Pan Troglodytes), is one degree different from humans. The DNA difference between gorillas, another species of African monkey, is about 1.6%. Most importantly, chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans all differ from gorillas.

 The 3.1% difference distinguishes us and African monkeys from the great Asian monkey, Orangutan.

 All great monkeys and humans are different from raspberry monkeys, for example, about 7% of the difference in their DNA has been identified to date.

Geneticists have come up with different ways to calculate the percentage of humans and primates, giving different impressions of how similar chimpanzees and humans are. For example, a difference of 1.2% between chimpanzees and humans has been found. The human difference involves measuring only the substitutes that chimpanzees and humans share in the basic building blocks of these genes. However, a comparison of the entire genome indicates that parts of the DNA have also been deleted, replicated, or inserted from one part of the genome to another. When these differences are counted, there is an additional 4 to 5% difference between the human and chimpanzee genomes.

No matter how the calculations are done, the big point remains: humans, chimpanzees, and bonobos are more closely related than gorillas or any other prey. From the point of view of this powerful test of biological relationship, humans are not only related to the great apes. Rather, we are all one. That is why the evidence of DNA leaves us with the greatest surprise in biology:

The wall that our ancestors erected between man and other apes, the primate, is now broken by Darwin's theory of evolution in 1871 and by James Watson and Francis Kirk (discovery of the structure of KDNA) in 1953. We now know that the human evolutionary tree is contained within the great apes.

That is why the strong resemblance between humans and the great African apes forced Charles Darwin to predict in 1871 that Africa might be the only possible place where the human race was separated from other animals. This is where the common ancestors of chimpanzees, humans, and guerrillas lived together. Evidence from DNA confirms this bold prediction. That African great apes, including humans, are as closely related to each other as African apes are to orangutans or other prey. Rarely has a scientific prediction been as bold as the theory of evolution, in its time, "Going beyond rituals and beliefs," as Darwin prophesied in 1871 that man exists through evolution.
