Human Evolution: The Biology of Man

The Story of Human Evolution

Before I write about the various wonders of the biological world I will answer a biological question common to us all: what is the story of human beings in the grand scheme of nature? What is the story of human evolution? We are aware that our species excels at communication, and is very adaptable through culture but it is rather hard to find a source that narrates our strengths and weaknesses as a creature of the Earth.

For the purpose of this post, I will avoid descriptions of each ancestral species leading up to humans but will instead summarize and emphasize the important characteristics (mutations) that are worth noting.
