Introduction

The evolutionary design of man has intrigued humans for many years. It has lead anthropologists to travel the world in search of fossil evidence to learn who we have evolved from. Human evolution began roughly 5-10 million years ago when the human line split from the apes. Slowly scientists have tried to put the pieces together to give us an idea of our evolutionary line.

The order in which the pre-human and human species are presented here is based upon the appearance of the species in the fossil record and by characteristics that lead to modern humans.
