Since at least the Upper Paleolithic era‚ some 40‚000 years ago‚ every human society has devised a creation myth to explain how humans came to be. Creation myths are based on cultural beliefs that have been adopted as a legitimate explanation by a society as to where we came from.

Some emphasize complex ecological pressures‚ mainly foraging strategies as the primary forces driving an evolutionary increases in cognitive abilities‚ and other suggest that increased social complexity favored the evolution of primate intelligence (Tomasello and Call‚ 1997).

Introduction To Evolution What is Evolution? Evolution is the process by which all living things have developed from primitive organisms through changes occurring over billions of years‚ a process that includes all animals and plants. Exactly how evolution occurs is still a matter of debate‚ but there are many different theories and that it occurs is a scientific fact. Biologists agree that all living things come through a long history of changes shaped by physical and chemical processes that

Patterns of Evolution Humans alter our environment to suit our needs rather than adapt to our environment based on environmental stressors. Due to this fact‚ we are unlikely to be affected by the pressures of natural selection. We will not likely be affected by further evolution. In convergent evolution‚ unrelated species living in the similar environments become more and more alike in appearance as they adapt to the same kind of environment. Dolphins and sharks are examples of convergent
