Human evolution is necessarily part of the overall evolution of species, since without evolution of species there could be no evolution of humans. On the other hand, from a religious perspective, evolution could be true for lesser species, but not humans. In fact this was a nineteenth century proposition, because its proponents believed that God created man in his image. This proposition no longer has significant support and those who deny the fact of human evolution seek to disprove evolution altogether.
Although we may not be able to say who first defined evolution as the means by which new species arise, we do know that early pioneers of evolution theories include Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Lamarck. Charles Darwin (1809-1892) was the first to recognise the role of natural selection in evolution. He defined the process by which evolution occurs as being natural selection, in his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.
If we look at the other primates, we can see that the great apes are similar in some ways to humans, and similar in other ways to monkeys. In fact, scientists are able to say that humans and chimpanzees evolved from a common ancestor some seven million years ago. Fossil evidence is inconclusive in proving this link, but it can be shown from DNA analysis of modern chimpanzees and humans.
Or species is known as Homo sapiens. Current theories say that we evolved from our immediate ancestors, Homo erectusin Africa some 200,000 years ago. However, recent finds of Homo erectus in Asia reopen the possibility that the evolution of Homo sapiens may have been to some extent multi-regional.
Neanderthal man was a close relation to modern humans, and occupied parts of Europe and western Asia from abour 220,000 years ago until perhaps 30,000 years ago, co-existing with modern humans for some of that time. They were at once believed to be a subspecies of Homo sapiens, but most scientists now believe that they were a distinct species. Scientists also dispute whether the Neanderthals may have interbred with modern humans, and whether any offspring would have been fertile.
The probable ancestor of Homo erectus is Homo habilis, an even more ancient human species that lived about 2 million to 1.5 million years ago in Africa.
Earlier species that may have been our ancestors, or were at least related to our ancestors include Australopithecus boisei. Australopithecus robustus, Australopithecus africanus, AustraIopithecus afarensis, Kenyanthropus platyops, Orrorin tugenensis, Ramapithecus and Sahelanthropus tchadensis. Sahelanthropus tchadensislived seven million years ago.
The theory of evolution is that all living things come from other living things.
There is no " theory of evolution " as evolution is a fact. The theory is; the theory of evolution by natural selection and explains much about the fact of evolution. Charles Robert Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace come up with the theory of evolution by natural selection, though natural selection is a phrase coined by Darwin.
Cell theory does not contradict evolution. Cell theory states that all living organisms are composed of cells, while evolution explains how these cells and organisms change over time through the process of natural selection. Both concepts are supported by scientific evidence and are compatible with each other.
It does not. Cell theory is fully compatible with evolutionary theory. Does this mean we know everything about the evolution of cells? No. We say we do not know, not that cell theory shows that evolutionary theory is incorrect. ( except, of course, if you are referring to heritability. This Darwin got wrong, but this is not directly related to cell theory )
The modern theory of evolution is also known as the synthetic theory of evolution or the modern synthesis. It combines Darwin's theory of natural selection with genetics and other fields of biology to explain how organisms evolve over time.
False. Relationships that that were not apparent to classifiers before the theory of evolution by natural selection was developed were brought into sharp relief by the theory. Mans place in nature, such as his close relationship with the great apes, could now be seen clearly.
Theory of evolution refers to animals and plants evolution along the time. Language evolution is another issue, not entirely related to the theory of evolution. It follows the theory of evolution on some way but it is related to culture evolution, not to the physical attributes evolution.
Evolution is an observed and observable fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains many things about evolution. The theory generates testable hypothesis, as any good theory does. Remember, theory is the highest concept in science.
There are many books that describe the theory of evolution. For example, there is a book called Evolution: The Remarkable History of a Scientific Theory.
Because evolution does not exist and never did exist.
The scientific movement accepts the Theory of Evolution. The Theory is the basis for the science of biology.
the most prevalent theory of evolution is called natural selection.

The theory of evolution by natural selection. ( I assume you meant accepted )
Make me cum daddy~! Make me moan~!
The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution was created in 1983.
