BY: CHARLES DARWIN
 Charles Darwin, in full Charles Robert Darwin, (born
February 12, 1809, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England—
died April 19, 1882, Downe, Kent), English naturalist
whose scientific theory of evolution by natural
selection became the foundation of modern
evolutionary studies. An affable country
gentleman, Darwin at first shocked religious Victorian
society by suggesting that animals and humans shared
a common ancestry. However, his
nonreligious biology appealed to the rising class of
professional scientists, and by the time of his death
evolutionary imagery had spread through all of science,
literature, and politics. Darwin, himself an agnostic, was
accorded the ultimate British accolade of burial
in Westminster Abbey, London.
He was an English naturalist, geologist,
and biologist, widely known for his
contributions to evolutionary biology.
APES
Hominids are the bipedal apes, which
includes us, Homo sapiens, others
members of our genus, and
species of
Ardipithecus,
Australopithecus,
and Paranthropus.
 This species, one of the earliest
members of the genus Homo,
has a slightly larger braincase
and smaller face and
teeth than in Australopithecus
or older hominin species. But it
still retains some ape-like
features, including long arms
and a moderately-prognathic
face
 HANDY MAN
 The extinct ancient human
Homo erectus is a species of
firsts. It was the first of our
relatives to have human-like
body proportions, with
shorter arms and longer legs
relative to its torso. It was also
the first known hominin to
migrate out of Africa, and
possibly the first to cook food.
 The Upright Man
 The name we selected for
ourselves means 'wise
human'. Homo is the Latin
word for 'human' or 'man'
and sapiens is derived from
a Latin word that means
'wise' or 'astute’.
