| − | '''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 occuring during the last 2 million years. The field of [[paleoanthropology]] shows an absence of intermediary fossils, no plausible pathway for the development of the brain, and countless other disproofs to the theory has rendered human evolution more of a philosophy of a belief system rather than a valid scientific concept. | + | '''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 occuring during the last 2 million years.
