    The document discusses human evolution and contains several sections. It describes how the traditional ladder image of evolution may be misleading and that a bush with multiple branches is a better representation. It discusses how the Great Rift Valley split early human ancestors into two groups, and how an unfavorable climate forced one group to adapt by broadening their diet, allowing for better brain development. It also mentions Charles Darwin's seminal work "On the Origin of Species" and how it changed the prevailing view that humans were a product of divine creation rather than evolution through natural selection over long periods of time.

    Soe folksll boast about their family

    trees,
    And theres some trees they ought to lop;
    But our family tree, believe me, goes
    right back,
    You can see monkey sitting on top!

    Biological Bush

    -Evolution,

    often thought of as a ladder may be


    misleading

    A better image is one of a bush with multiple


    branches
    -Primates
    Hominids
    Pongids (gorillas)
    Panids (chimps)

    East Side Story

    -The

    great rift valley split Africas inhabitants into two major


    groups.

    -An unfavorable climate forced a deprived species to adapt.


    -Our ancestors possibly broadened their diet which led to better
    nourished brains.

    Biological Bush

    The book that shook the


    world
    -Charles Darwins `On the Origin of Species- changed the world
    view
    -Humans were product of evolution not divine creation
    -Also proposed that the happenings were slow
    -Beaks of Darwins flinches provide a showcase of evolution

    Inspired Selection

    Nature is over-prolific in providing possible


    pathways.
    Successful evolution can be a case of inspired or
    accidental selection.
    Human took an innovative route.
