Timeline of human evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The timeline of human evolution outlines the major events in the development of human species, and the evolution of humans' ancestors. It includes a brief explanation of some animals, species or genera, which are possible ancestors of Homo sapiens sapiens. It begins with the origin of life and presents a possible line of descendants that led to humans. This timeline is based on studies from paleontology, developmental biology, morphology and from anatomical and genetic data. The study of human evolution is a major component of anthropology.

Even Couch Potatoes May Have Been Born to Run - The New York Times > Health >
The apparently crucial role of running in human evolution, overlooked for the most part in previous research, is being proposed today in an article in the journal Nature by two American scientists.
While walking upright first set early human ancestors apart from their ape cousins, the scientists write, it may have been the ability to run long distances with springy step over the African savanna that influenced the transition to today's human body form.

Evolutionary Link To Modern-day Obesity, Other Problems
ScienceDaily (Feb. 12, 2009) - That irresistible craving for a cheeseburger has its roots in the dramatic growth of the human brain and body that resulted from environmental changes some 2 million years ago.

Higher quality, nutritionally dense diets became necessary to fuel the high-energy demands of humans' exceptionally large brains and for developing the first rudimentary hunting and gathering economy
Genetics Research Sheds Light On Evolution Of The Human Diet
ScienceDaily (Feb. 12, 2009) — Diet – and how it has
shaped our genome – occupies much of an evolutionary scientist's time. Anne
Stone, associate professor of anthropology in Arizona State University's School
of Human Evolution and Social Change, will discuss how diet holds keys to
understanding who we are, how we live and form societies, and how we evolved
from hunter-gatherers to agriculturists, all the way to modern urban dwellers,
at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting.
PLoS ONE: Losing the Big Picture: How Religion May Control Visual Attention
Colzato LS, van den Wildenberg WPM, Hommel B (2008)
Losing the Big Picture: How Religion May Control Visual Attention.
PLoS ONE 3(11): e3679.

In sum, given that real-life objects and events are commonly complex and hierarchically structured, so that their perceptual organization and semantic interpretation often hinges on the aspect or level an observer attends to, it seems possible that religious beliefs may indeed lead to different and sometimes discrepant and incompatible interpretations of the same incident. That this can happen is a well-known empirical fact but that it can originate in basic automatic visual operations that precede conscious representation is surprising and in some sense worrying—as it seems to work against the scientific ideal that careful observation is sufficient to reach agreements about basic facts and what we consider reality. Our findings are consistent with the New Look on perception [1] in confirming that perceptual processes can be affected by the cognitive states of the observer. To some degree they challenge, however, previous claims that culture has an important impact on perception. Even though our findings do not rule out this possibility, they show that religion makes a difference even if culture is controlled for. Given that previous reports on culture-related differences did not control for religion [2], [3], it is possible that religious differences are sufficient to account for the available evidence.
Honda Scientists Create World's First Human Thought-Controlled Robot
Honda Research Institute -- a subdivision of Honda Motor Corp. -- has devised the world's first Brain Machine Interface (BMI) that allows human thought to control a robot's activity. Yes, it's as strange -- and as interesting -- as it sounds.

Richard Dawkins on our "queer" universe | Video on TED.com
Biologist Richard Dawkins makes a case for "thinking the improbable" by looking at how the human frame of reference limits our understanding of the universe.
We are becoming a new species, we are becoming Homo Evolutis - Ars Technica
Chairman and CEO of Biotechonomy, Enriquez says that humanity is on the verge of becoming a new and utterly unique species, which he dubs Homo Evolutis. What makes this species so unique is that it "takes direct and deliberate control over the evolution of the species." Calling it the "ultimate reboot," he points to the conflux of DNA manipulation and therapy, tissue generation, and robotics as making this great leap possible.
Human Evolution Archaeology human origins hominid species images
This project is the realization of a dream born on the shores of Lake Turkana in northern Kenya in the final days of the last millennium. While living and working at Koobi Fora, a common purpose was realized as we pursued the nature of our origins literally in the footsteps of our distant ancestors.\n\nWe exist to serve both the community involved in the field and the public at large. In an area of study where division is too often the norm, we strive to be a forum for the unity of ideas and synthesis of a common human evolutionary model. We realize the need for public education regarding our origins, so we share here with the world our fascination with where we came as we strive to popularize the idea of our shared past. \n\nWe hope you find the information contained herein both useful and inspiring.
