Human evolution
Over decades, many Americans reject the ideas of evolution and there were many arguments against the theory of human evolution. However, in order to understand how the human developed, we must look at the human evolution. For many centuries, we have been curious about our origins and our human bodies structure. How we got to be the kind of species we are today, such as the way we look; walking upright on two legs, our hands has five fingers, the size of our brain and teeth, and what makes us a unique species. Our animal ancestors have shaped our body structure in many ways, we humans have a lot in common than you might think with apes, reptiles and even fish.
In the video In Your Inner Fish, Neil Shubin want us to see there is a connection between our bodies and the rest of life on a planet. He reveals the story of human evolution by tracing many parts of our body's structure to many creatures that lived long ago, using both the fossil record and DNA evidence. Shubin showed us that our hands look like the fins of prehistoric fish, our skin, hair and teeth can be find to an early reptiles, most parts of our DNAs function like those bacteria, And we are most …show more content…
Facial expressions and body language are very important communication devices in humans. In human expressions, we baring teeth when we are angry, that can be similar to an aggressive animal bared-teeth display. All of the Great Apes have the capacity of deceitful; one of their advantages is the reaction to situational stimuli. Social behaviors and interactions play a major role in both apes and humans. For example, one member of a group can deceive and take advantage of another based on the first member’s ability to understand the second’s natural reaction. Human deception is quite similar, but much more complex scale, particularly due to
