Evolution







MORE ON HUMAN EVOLUTION
The evidence of the descent of man from a lower form
- The reproduction of the species is strikingly the same in all mammals, from the first act of courtship by the male, to the birth and nurturing of the young.
-Monkeys are born in almost as helpless a condition as our own infants; and in certain genera the young differ fully as much in appearance from the adults, as do our children from their full-grown parents.
-So the correspondence in general structure, in the minute structure of the tissues, in the general structure of the tissues, in the chemical composition and in constitution, between man and the higher animals, especially the anthropomorphous apes, is extremely close.
-The Similarity in the POSTERIOR MOLAR (wisdom tooth)
These teeth are rather smaller than the other molars, as is likewise the case with the corresponding teeth in the chimpanzee and orang utan; and they have only two separate fangs. They are much more liable to decay and are earlier lost than other teeth.
-Similarity in the appendage
It is useless, and sometimes the cause of death: this is due to small hard bodies , such as seeds entering the passage and causing inflammation.
-Similarity in mental faculty
