Chimpanzees

Mushrooms belong to the kingdom Fungi.

No, maggots and caterpillars do not belong to the same family. Maggots are the larval stage of flies, while caterpillars are the larvae of butterflies and moths. They belong to different insect orders.

Yes, homo sapien sapiens is the same as homo sapiens. The term "homo sapien sapiens" specifically refers to modern humans, while "homo sapiens" is the binomial nomenclature for the human species.

Due to effective tools, larger body size, and metabolic demands of the brain associated with H. erectus, most researchers postulate that, by the time H. erectus had evolved, meat constituted an important part of the human diet. Hunting habits in H. erectus still are unclear; researchers think that individuals in the species still were scavenging but, also, caught small animals and fish. Some sites, such as in Torralba and Ambrona in Spain, show evidence of large-game hunting by controlling stampedes. These sites reveal evidence that a stampede of large, elephant-like animals was forced off a cliff. Hunting like this produced large amounts of meat that could be shared by many members of the group. An abundance of Acheulean tools littering in the sites shows that butchering of animals was performed on site and smaller, more manageable pieces of meat and bones or other animal materials were carried away.

The uncovering of Homo habilis artifacts in Asia would suggest a broader geographic distribution of this species than previously believed. It could lead to a reevaluation of migration patterns, environmental adaptations, and interactions with other hominid species in different regions. Overall, it would enrich our understanding of the complexity and diversity of early human evolution.

The commonly quoted number is 98.6% genetic relatedness. This is technically correct since our genes are nearly 99% identical. However, this number does not take into account gene duplication and the specific proteins produced by these similar genes. If these are accounted for, the number is more like 94%. This new figure is based on a new method of measurement that was reported in a 2006 paper. I would actually like to see this method used on all other figures. For instance, the results of the bonobo genome project shows we share 98.7% of our DNA. I'm sure this number would be more like 93 point something percent since the project showed bonobos and chimps share 99.6% of their DNA. It is important to note that, despite the change in percentage, chimps are still our closest living animal relatives.

but there are probably many more, as yet undiscovered

Current thinking is that humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor and scientists are getting closer and closer to telling us that story of our origins. However, they do not have the definitive answer yet.

On October 9, 2009 scientists announced the discovery of the oldest fossil skeleton of a human ancestor to date. It has taken the spotlight off "Lucy", who walked the earth 3.2 million years ago. The discovery was made in Ethiopia. Researchers say it will put to rest the earlier hypothesis of a "missing link" ape that would be found "at the root of the human family tree". The skeleton offers a basis for researchers of what the common ancestor of apes and humans might have been like. There have been astounding archeological discoveries in the last decade that have enabled evolutionists to discard older suppositions and add more information to the story of evolution.

On May 7, 2010 scientists announced they had documented the Neanderthal genome and revealed some interesting facts. We have traces of Neanderthal DNA in our DNA, proving that earlier ancestors assimilated with other early humans.

The study of human evolution is not static. It is going on every day at universities and archeological sights around the world. As new information is discovered the story becomes more accurate. Anyone who can ignore the abundant results of that research is missing out on a treasure trove of interesting information about where we came from.

There have been at least a dozen or so intervening human-like species since hominids and African apes diverged from a common ancestor 5 to 8 million years ago by present estimates. Most of those distant relatives went extinct but the fossil record is abundant with evidence and the chain is always being strengthened through careful research and analysis.

Of course, the fossil record is not as user friendly, or simple to read as a book of faith, written by men who wrote down what they believed based simply on their faith that it must have happened. Scientists have never found their explanations for the way our world works written down in ancient texts. Science reveals its secrets only through a patient study of evidence discovered by painstaking and costly research, funded by universities and governments, performed by people who spend their lives digging for answers.

Once a person has understood that we have solid fossil evidence of the existence of many, many species of earlier hominids that continued to evolve "upward" slowly it should not be so difficult to understand the present thinking among scientists: That one group of apes, in response to their environment, started evolving in a way that would eventually lead to humanity (and many other now-extinct hominids).

Examples of Homo sapiens art include cave paintings, sculptures, pottery, and jewelry dating back thousands of years. These artifacts showcase the creativity and artistic expression of our ancestors, providing insights into their cultures and beliefs.

The human evolution theory is the scientific study of how humans evolved from earlier species of primates. It explains how anatomical, genetic, and behavioral characteristics have changed over time, leading to the development of modern humans. Key milestones include bipedalism, tool use, brain expansion, and cultural evolution.

Homo sapiens were the only hominids to live during the Mesolithic age, which lasted from around 10,000 to 5,000 years ago. Other hominid species like Neanderthals and Denisovans had gone extinct by this time.

Humans share about 70-75% of their DNA with snails. This similarity is due to shared genetic sequences that have been conserved over evolutionary time.

Such is like saying "if there are two leaves on a tree, why are there no leaves between them?"

We did not evolve from chimpanzees. Our nearest common ancestor with them was around 7 million years ago. From that point onwards, there is plenty of fossil evidence indicating tranisitional species between that ancestor and us, and between that ancestor and the modern chimps.

The leaves do not have a direct link between themselves. Instead, they are connected via the branches they rest upon.

Genetic evidence, specifically DNA analysis, has shown that chimpanzees share approximately 98% of their DNA with humans, making them our closest living relatives. Additionally, similarities in behavior, social structures, and anatomy between humans and chimpanzees further support this close evolutionary relationship.

False. Biologists do not believe that humans descended directly from chimpanzees. Instead, both humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor from millions of years ago.

The principle that all species were derived from common ancestors is known as evolution. This theory was proposed by Charles Darwin in the 19th century and is supported by evidence from various fields of science, including genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy.

Homo Sapien is Latin for "Wise Man" - although "sensible or judicious" are alternatives to wise.

The "homo" part indicates membership of the homo genus of which homo sapiens are the only surviving examples.

chimpanzees and orangutans we do think that they are correct but we are still looking and experimenting with it though so we are not quite sure

Homo neanderthalensis, or more commonly known as Neanderthals, overlapped with Homo sapiens. This group of hominids, grouped under the genus Homo, did indeed live at the same time but in different parts of the world. The only hominid species which still exists today is H. sapiens, which are modern day humans. Neanderthals went extinct about 5,000 years after Homo sapiens reached Europe, the continent in which Neanderthals are thought to have gone extinct-during a cold period in Europe.

Hominids are a family of primates that includes humans and our closest extinct relatives. They have existed for around 6 to 7 million years. Various species of hominids have lived for different lengths of time, with some species being around for a few hundred thousand years and others, like modern humans, having existed for around 200,000 years.

Humans and their human-like ancestors are called hominins. This includes species such as Homo sapiens (modern humans) and other related species that have characteristics similar to humans.

The earliest modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens, are believed to have appeared around 300,000 years ago in Africa. This is based on fossil and genetic evidence.

You share approximately 50% of your DNA with each of your biological parents. This is because you inherit half of your DNA from your mother and half from your father during the process of genetic inheritance.
