Ape to Man
It has long been considered the most pressing issue of our history: Where did humans come from? Although life has existed for millions of years, only in the past century and a half we have begun to use science to explore the ancestral roots of our own species.

The search for the ultimate answer has taken a series of twists and turns, with careers made and broken on the road. Ape to man is the story of the quest to find the origins of the human race – a quest that spanned more than 150 years of obsessive searching Searching for the origins of mankind is a history of bone and feature stories .
It was in 1856 that the first bones of extinct human ancestor were encountered, discovered by a team of unskilled workers to excavate the limestone in Western Europe. The finding, to be known as Neanderthal Man, was seeing the light of day for the first time in more than 40,000 years.
At that time, the concept of a previous human species was virtually unthinkable. However, only a few years later, the work of Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species first broached the subject of evolution, and by the end of the nineteenth century had become the hottest topic of the day.
Adventurers had embarked on the search for the missing link, the only creature that represents the evolutionary leap from apes to humans. Ape to Man examines the major discoveries that have led to the understanding we have today, including theories that never gained full acceptance of his time, an elaborate hoax that confused the scientific community for years, and understanding short of the key elements that separate man from apes.

all very interesting, but a person like me who would consider the biblical history of creation and the possibilities of evolution certainly raises up a million questions. One of them is? If you go all the way back to the point zero of science explanations for homo-sapiens evolution, there’s obviously a much larger line far behind through the possibilities of creation. Whats the point zero of all?
Eu acredito que viemos do macaco. O cheiro do meu suvaco é a prova!
@MrGGAaron No we weren’t but we had a common ancestor, get over it! Quit whining you little baby.
@MrGGAaron No we weren’t but we had a common ancestor, get over it! Quit whinning you little baby.
We never were Apes for f**** sake. =) Wake up to yourselves you stupid students.
Everyone here is crazy!Man didn’t evolve…. we always were. Nothing evolved. It always was. Foolish science freaks.
@MrGGAaron What are you, twelve years old?
@MrGGAaron Wow, another member of the “don’t understand evolution club”.. *Sigh*
Really good document abt ape to man
well, we the homo sapiens are the first illegal settlers then.
Neanderthals expressed themselves artistically. There have been Neanderthal bone flutes and cave art found in Europe. There is also evidence of interbreeding between Neanderthals and homo sapiens. The reason the Neanderthals died out was because their bodies were not designed for hunting in the open plains which started to take over the European landscape after the last ice age. Homo sapiens were well adapted to plain hunting and therefore survived to tell the tale.
LMAO
@TheSinGuru HEY U SAID MY NAME!
@MrGGAaron no s*** sher lock, it aint rocket science. We share our dna with EVERY living thing on earth, pretty sure tht the chances of us evolving from a primate than fruit in the last many million years are abit greater than ur silly theory. However if u want to go back back further to tht single cell s*** then we can do that too. ps the nana goes in ur mouth, not up ur a** ya f****** simpleton.
great documentary on the history of mustaches
Every man women and child on earth should be forced to watch this wonder documentary! Say GOODBYE to Religion! and not a moment too soon.
@MrDBarch wrong. I was raised to believe evolution was 100% the s***. I was never a christian. I simply do not believe in Evolution in simple terms. The entire universe is made up of the same thing – Matter. I dont believe in “Science” or “Religion”. I know WE KNOW nothing.
@hathwit7 Ummm….. this doco is a crock of s***! I share 98% of my DNA with a chimpanzee. So what? This doesnt mean we are closely related at all. I share 60% of my DNA with a bana and if you saw my c*** you’d swear it was 99%
really good doco. good luck to the tards who like aliens and spiritual s***, who also believe the term ”caucasion” was derived from ”corpse of asian”. f*** off…
How does this explain artefacts that have been found in rock strata that is millions of years old ? This is a side issue, only part of the story. The true origin of mankind is known to the elite, but is actively kept secret from the masses/slaves. so that they can retain not only physical, but spiritual power over us. Fortunately there are signs that their game will soon be up.
14:34-14:56 – He describes the view many people (especially creationists) have on evolution even now.But anyway, very interesting documentary.
I love watching things about human evolution, perhaps it gives me some sense of pride of what I am – and otherwise, looking at the state of the Earth today, I don’t get much of that feeling.
@SkinnnedHead Well, perhaps you are assuming the title infers “From Ape ….. comes…… Man. Whereas it much more easily could be, simply a span of characteristics between both species…over time. Again, this notion in your psychy that an “ape made men” isn’t being helpful I get a good feeling from you all of a sudden, maybe i was able to explain it well enough the last time? I hope so, cus I really wanted to do that. thanks guy. Humans have come a longggg way!
@MrDBarch Thanks for the reply. I think the title “Ape to Man” is not appropriate.
People who do not accept evolution see it as a threat to all they’ve been told.taught to believe and they’ll be damned if they admit that they’ve spent a lifetime listening to and believing something or series of things that are just plain false. I can empathize with folks in this position. Look at the famous picture of jesus by michel angelo, you say, wow, there’s jesus. You know what… it’s not, its a painting imagined up by a human. it’s been around so long a lot of people think wow, its him
But it isn’t him, at all. It’s a likeness that M. Angelo thought looked great. It’s so old most followers look at it and think it’s christ’s image. We don’t know any better. In the case of the origin of man, we DO know better. it’s time to cast away our michel angelo view of humanity; the old picture worked for a while but we have new, way more true and accurate information to live with now. Embrace reality and cast away the superstitious nature of a legacy left over from the bronze age.
