Human evolution is that part of biological evolution concerning the emergence of humans as a distinct species. It is the subject of a broad scientific inquiry that seeks to understand and describe how this change and development occurred. The study of human evolution encompasses many scientific disciplines, most notably physical anthropology, linguistics and genetics. The term "human", in the context of human evolution, refers to the genus Homo, but studies of human evolution usually include other hominins, such as the australopithecines.

  • In 2006 the popular scientist from Arkansas, Dr. Garrison laid out the principles behind human evolution during a lecture at South Park University:
  • Human evolution or paleoanthropology is a theory within evolution which posits that mankind evolved from more primitive species over the course of 40 million years, with the most dramatic changes occurring during the last 2 million years. The field of paleoanthropology shows an absence of intermediary fossils, there is no plausible pathway for the development of the brain, and countless other disproofs to the hypothesis has rendered human evolution more of a philosophy of a belief system rather than a valid scientific concept.
  • Human evolution, or anthropogenesis, is the part of biological evolution concerning the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species from other hominins, great apes and placental mammals.
