Cool Idea: Human Evolution

So my grandfather sent me this link: http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/journey/.

The link was pretty damn awesome. Basically it's an interactive graph and timeline of human evolution and movements across the worlds surface.

I don't believe however that it includes some of the recent findings dealing with the person known as the 'hobbit'. In fact, I think the entire worlds theory about the evolution of humans is based upon about 300 skeletons and body fragments. Not much really, when you think about how many people and skeletons must have been there before us.

However, none the less, its provides a good few minutes thinking to yourself, ' fuck I have come a far way '.

Just thought I would share it with you.

    Homo sapiens(a misnomer), coexisted with the hobbit and with Neanderthal man. We probably just out bred the latter'
