THE EVOLUTION OF MANKIND

The evolution of MANKIND or HUMANITY or of PRIMITIVE MEN,etc. must always be considered a special study apart from ordinary considerations of evolution,no matter the type or style of various proponents of EVOLUTION. The reason this constitutes a special study apart from that of other animals and especially PRIMATES is that MAN is the only 'creature' or 'animal' or 'entity' that has cultivated plants to a large extend and extracted the substances found in them and made wide use of such and also who has created a 'collective' government or institution that animals have not done or cannot do. Despite the 'social-insects',like bees and ants, all worthy of study to be sure, only MAN has 'subdued' most of the earth and developed conveyances to do so! MAN IS THE ONLY ANIMAL THAT SMOKES! Yes, you can teach chimps to smoke but you can't get them to grow tobacco or make paper to roll such up in! Man also makes alcohol and imbibes it in social settings usually which animals seem not to do much of. Although anthropologists and other scientists can seemingly find traces of all of man's abilities in the so-called 'lower animals' and point to some behaviors as indicative of traits humans might have kept, there is not actual proof as yet that such really is the case. Of course, when we examine 'tribal-primitive-native,etc. ' peoples we sometimes find 'the vestiges of civilization' in some of their customs, mores, and beliefes,etc.
