Darwin believed thatthe human race had
gradually evolvedfrom lower orders of
life as a result ofprogressive adaptationto the environmentthrough the survival
of biological formsbest adapted to acompetitive struggle.

The idea that man descended from apelike creaturesshocked most people.
However, eventually evolutionist proved that man andliving simians (higher level animals) have many traits incommon which provided rational evidence of theircommon ancestry, but it does not mean that man andapes have one common ancestor.

Darwin drew his evidence from three main categories:
a) similarities between humans and other primates,
b) similarities in embryological development, and
c) vestigial organs (part of the animal which still develop to somedegree but seemingly have no purpose).
With this three pronged attack Darwin provided very strongevidence for mans common ancestry with the living apes, andthat all human populations were more closely related to eachother than to any living primate; they were the same species.
The most common evidence of evolution is the discovery ofactual remains of the ancestors of predicted and then found javaman, Pithecanthropus Erectus, which is now called HomoErectus.

- Eanthropus dawsonior "dawn man."Discovered in 1912 by Charles Dawson, a medical doctor and
amateur paleontologist. Dawson found a mandible and a smallpiece of a skull in a gravel pit near Piltdown England. The jawbonewas ape-like but the teeth had human characteristics. The skullpiece was very human-like. These two specimens were combined
to form dawn man, which was supposedly 500,000 years old.
However, the whole thing turned out to be an elaborate hoax. Theskull was indeed human (about 500 years old) but the jaw wasthat of a modern ape whose teeth had been filed to look like
human wear. 7(^^,shar_

Ramapithecus lufengensis --
Ramapithecus, thought to havelived between 12 and 14 million
years ago, was first discovered insouthwest Kenya by Louis Leakeyin 1932. At that time, all that wasfound were a few teeth and some
fragments of the upper jaw ormaxilla. Leakey assembled thesefragments so that they fortuitouslyresembled theparabolically archedshape of a human jaw (apes have amore U-shaped form).

Because of this human-likemaxillary shape and what
were thought to be "human-
like" teeth characteristics, this
creature was long believed tobe the first branch from a line
of apes that eventually
evolved into modern humans.11(^^,shar_

Australopithecus africanus -- The word "Australopithecus" means"southern ape." This name is used because the first fossils werefound in South Africa. Dr. Raymond Dart, professor of anatomyat Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, was the first tostudy these fossils. In 1924 at Taung in South Africa, Dartdiscovered a fossil skull consisting of a full face, teeth and jaws,and an endocranial cast of the brain. The brain size was410cc. Its age is currently felt to be around two to three million
years old. Dart was convinced that some teeth were man-like and
thus concluded a transition between apes and man. 14(^^,shar_

Australopithecus afarensis "LUCY" -- In 1974, Donald
Johanson discovered a half complete skeleton (Locality A.L.
288; Ethiopia's Awash Valley) that he named after theBeetle's song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" (LSD). The
specimen was only 1.1 meters tall, estimated to weigh 29
kilograms and look somewhat like a common chimpanzee.
A year later, thirteen similar skeletons were found. 16(^^,shar_

Homo habilis -- Homo habiliswas discovered in 1959 by Mary
Leakey and dated at about 1.8 million years old. What shefound were some badly fragmented pieces of skull. Herhusband, Louis Leakey, was not impressed at first. Hecommented that it was nothing more than a "damnedAustralopithecine". However, he quickly changed his mindwhen what appeared to be stone tools were found near the site
of Homo habilis. The bones of many of these animals revealedthat they had been butchered and deliberately broken for theirmarrow. Leakey decided, on the basis of this evidence, that hisfossil had been a toolmaker and butcher and thus calledhim Homo habilis or "handy man."

Most other investigators, however, were not comfortable with suchan extremely primitive beast being a toolmaker. Like
Australopithecus robustus, Leakey's "Homo habilis" had huge
and very unhuman molars, a very small brain, and a large bony
sagital crest on the top of its skull.
Later, Leaky thought better of the whole idea of his "Homo habilis"
as a tool maker and demoted him to the classification of
Zinjanthropusboisei, which means East African man.19(^^,shar_

The skull of Zinj is especially robust,
sometimes called, "hyper-robust".
Notice, in the reconstruction of Zinj,
the very wide zygomatic arches,
which project forward in front of the
nasal opening to form a dish-shaped
face (like many apes today).
These outward flaring arches
provided space for huge temporalis
muscles that are used for
chewing. In other words, Zinj had avery powerful bite.
Zinj's teeth are also massive,
sometimes more than 4-times the
size of modern human teeth. 20(^^,shar_

Turkana Boy -- In July 1984, a nearly complete fossilized skeleton,of an obviously human 12-year-old boy (some say as young as 9
years old), was discovered at Lake Turkana in Kenya. It is themost complete skeleton to date to be included as a Homoerectus. The boy stood 160cm (5' 3'') tall and had a braincapacity of 880cc. It is estimated that in adulthood, the boy
would grow to be 185cm (6' 1'') tall and have a brain capacityof 910cc. The skeleton of this child is like that of a modernhuman in all respects except for certain details of the skull. Hehad a low forehead and pronounced brow ridges.

Peking Man: The current story is that the remains of Sinanthropuspekinensis, known as Peking Man and dating back to 400,000 BC,were excavated in 1923 at Zhoukoudianzhen near Peking,
China. Peking Man was closely related to Pithecanthropus of Java and"lived during the Old Stone Age."
An almost complete skullcap was discovered in 1929 in a filled-inlimestone cave near Peking, China (now Beijing). This ape-like
skullcap was similar to Java man. Fragments of 14 skulls, 12 lowerjaws and 147 teeth were found.
After hiring a sculptor to model a woman's face from the made-up skull,the result was named "Nellie." The very "attractive" Nellie hasappeared in almost all modern textbooks concerning the evolution of
man. 25(^^,shar_

curving over each eye.
There is a slight projection at the rear of the
skull (occipital bun).
The cranial wall is thick compared to modern
humans.
The facial architecture is heavy, with the mid-
face and the upper jaw projecting forward
(prognathism).

Johann Friedrich Blumenbach divided the human
species into five races in 1779, later founded oncrania research (description of human skulls),and called them (1793/1795):
1. the Caucasian race or white race
2. the Mongolian or yellow race
3. the Malayan or brown race4. the Ethiopian/Negroid or black race
5. the American or red race.41(^^,shar_

The term Caucasian race (also Caucasoid, Europid, orEuropoid) has been used to denote the general physical typeof some or all of the populations of Europe, North Africa,the Horn of Africa, Western Asia (the Middle East), Central
Asia and South Asia.Historically, the term has been used to describe the entire
population of these regions, without regard necessarily toskin tone.

The Mongolian Race or Mongoloid is a term sometimesused by forensic anthropologists and physicalanthropologists to refer to populations that share certaintraits such as epicanthic fold and shovel-shapedincisors and other physical traits common in East Asia,Southeast Asia, the Americas and the Arctic.
The word is formed by the base word "Mongol" and thesuffix "-oid"which means "resembling".
It was introduced by early Racial science to primarilydescribed various central and east Asian populations, oneof the proposed three major races of human kind.

The Malay race, a concept that was proposed by Germanscientist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, refers to those ofbrown colored people who inhabit the Malay Peninsula andportions of neighboring islands of the Southeast Asia,
including the coast of Borneo, Philippines, Sumatra and
other smaller islands within these areas.
American anthropologists H. Otley Beyer proposed that
Filipinos were Malay migrants from Malaysia and Indonesia.
It is classified as the brown race.
The term Malay race was commonly used in the late 19th
century and early 20th century to describe the Austronesian
peoples. 48(^^,shar_

Blumenbach writes:
Malay variety. Tawny-colored; hair black, soft, curly, thickand plentiful; head moderately narrowed; foreheadslightly swelling; nose full, rather wide, as it werediffuse, end thick; mouth large. upper jaw somewhatprominent with the parts of the face when seen in profile,sufficiently prominent and distinct from each other. This lastvariety includes the islanders of the Pacific Ocean, togetherwith the inhabitants of the Marianne, the Philippine, theMolucca and the Sunda Islands, and of the Malayan peninsula.I wish to call it the Malay, because the majority of the men of
this variety, especially those who inhabit the Indian islandsclose to the Malacca peninsula, as well as the Sandwich, theSociety, and the Friendly Islanders, and also the Malambi ofMadagascar down to the inhabitants of Easter Island, use theMalay idiom.

Negroid is a term used to refer to individuals andpopulations that share certain morphological andskeletal traits that are generally associated with BlackAfrican ancestry.
The term has both Greek and Latin etymologicalroots. Not a derogatory term, it literally translates as"black resemblance" from negro/niger (black), and -oeids, equivalent to -o- -o- + -eids having the form
of, derivative of edos form.
The earliest recorded use of the term "Negroid" camein 1859.In modern use, the term is associated with"the division of mankind represented by the
indigenous peoples of central and southern Africa" 51(^^,shar_

This race occupied the whole of the two Americas and theneighboring islands; although there were manifest
differences in the people of the North and those of the
South.
The North American Indians are tall and straight,
forehead low and broad, nose aquiline, eyes black and
deeply set, full lips, skin a warm, coppery red, hair long,black, and straight. They show rather a lack of disposition
than of ability to become proficient in the arts of
agriculture and manufacture.53(^^,shar_
