EVOLUTION AND GENETICS

When did humans appear? What is it
that makes us different from the
rest of the animals? In what way
did language develop? Why is it so
important to have deciphered the sequence
of the human genome? This book offers
answers to these and many other questions
about the mysteries and marvels of human
evolution. Scientists maintain that modern
humans originated in Africa because that is
where they have found the oldest bones. In
addition, genetics has just arrived at the
same conclusion, since the DNA studies
have confirmed that all humans are
related to the African hunter-gatherers
who lived some 150 million years ago.
Studying the fossils, the experts also
found that human skulls from two
million years ago already show the
development of two specific
