• Resumen

  • The article discusses the body of information that has been collected concerning the origin of human beings. It begins with biologist Thomas Henry Huxley who wrote "Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature," which applied evolutionary scientist Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to humans. Following that, Darwin himself wrote "The Descent of Man." Since that point substantial evidence obtained via fossils and genetic analyses has provided insight on the topic.
