help with human evolution?

Question

what is the incompleteness of the fossil record and the resulting uncertainties with respect to human evolution. What are the approximate dates and distribution?

Answer 1

The incompleteness of the fossil record is partly due to the fact that so very little of the earth's crust has been excavated.

In fact almost any assertion that has been or is held as fact by archaeologists is shown to be totally wrong as soon as any new evidence is unearthed.

Also, since great conclusions are often drawn from minimal evidence, it would not surprise me if someone with a creationist agenda may have already destroyed evidence connecting primate ancestors and modern man.

Never forget that the Roman catholic church burned the library of Alexandria and all records written by the native American civilizations and pretty much destroy any information that they have access to that doesn't corroborate THEIR version of history.

Answer 2

Fossil records become less important as DNA technology expands. DNA mapping gives a lot more information about closest relatives (like humans and chimpanzees) and how long ago they diverged from a common ancestor.

The fossil record will always be incomplete. The chances of any creature dying in the exact right conditions for bone to fossilize is rare. To find that fossil is even rarer. Where would you start looking?? Chimpanzees and humans are estimated to have diverged from a common ancestor 3-5 million years ago.

Answer 3

Human evolution is that part of biological evolution concerning the emergence of humans as a distinct species. It is the subject of a broad scientific inquiry that seeks to understand and describe how this change and development occurred. The study of human evolution encompasses many scientific disciplines, most notably physical anthropology, linguistics and genetics. The term "human", in the context of human evolution, refers to the genus Homo, but studies of human evolution usually include other hominins, such as the australopithecines.

Answer 4

Well when people make up the facts to support their erroneous conclusions, this is what you get, total confusion. Its all a bunch of crap, no proof and no fossil records to prove human evolution. Creation, is why there is no proof.
