Origin of Man Human Origin and Development

Human origin and development In a biological sense, man is an animal, and man belongs to the order Mammalia, order Primates, family Anthropoidea, genus Man. The hominid is evolutionarily related to man, so it can be said that it is the ancestor of man. Humans appeared on earth about 200,000 to 3 million years ago. Humans changed from the ancient apes. But apes and humans, both of them are very young in evolutionary history. If the present age of the earth is 12 hours, then the life span of a human is less than half a minute. The scientific theory of human origins began with Lamarck in the 18th century and began to take shape through Darwin. In antiquity and before the 18th century, only speculations could be made about the origin of man. Although ancient biologists pointed out the phenomenon of structural similarities between humans and animals, they were not yet able to put forward any systematic theory to expound the mystery of human origins. Linnaeus, the famous Swedish biologist of the 18th century, compared man with the ape on the basis of the biological taxonomy he founded, especially in the study of animal classification. He not only discovered that both man and ape had two heart ears and two ventricles and were both born in the womb, but also found that man, ape and monkey all had two pairs of incisors and a pair of breasts on their chests. Because of this amazing similarity, so he was in the animal classification, the human, apes and monkeys into a class called primates, that is, are sensitive higher mammals. The French naturalist Lamarck proposed the theory of change from ape to man, which was first put forward by Lamarck on the basis of his study of the body structure and living habits of the modern ape. He hypothesized that, due to changes in living conditions, apes that came down to live on the ground had to walk on their hind limbs, prompting a division of labor between the hands and feet and the development of more dexterous and powerful forelimbs. Such apes in the course of development gradually evolved into a new species, and finally became primitive man. The theory of ape to man was a great step forward compared with Linnaeus's theory of man and ape being of the same kind, and revealed the successive developmental links between apes and men. The French biologist Guyvier first proved from comparative anatomy that all vertebrates. From the lowest fish to the highest human, its main characteristics are basically the same. Thus showing that man originated from the ape. He proved through anatomy, from amphibians to human limbs skeleton is composed of a certain number of bone fragments in the same format, and pointed out that "two-legged birds and people are originally four-limbed animals. From this, Gouvier went on to prove that apes were the direct ancestors of man, and initially explained the mechanism of the origin of mankind. Inspired by Darwin's revelations, Huxley used Darwin's theory of evolution as a weapon to illustrate the transition from ape to man. He studied the fossilized human skulls found by his predecessors and found the bridge from ancient apes to humans. He had pointed out the similarity of the early embryos of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and humans as proof of their *** same ancestry. This revealed the embryological affinity of humans to apes. He concluded that man "was branched off from the same ancestor as the apes". The theory that humans and apes share the same ancestor was first put forward by Huxley, which was a big step forward compared with Lamarck's theory of apes changing into humans, and a new milestone in the history of the understanding of the origin of human beings. 1871, Darwin pointed out that: human beings evolved from highly developed apes in the Ice Age at the end of the third century of the Cenozoic Era, and since they also developed in the other direction, i.e., they evolved into the modern hominid apes. In this way, it is proved that human beings and modern hominids have the **** same ancestry. So how exactly did humans originate? Engels published The Role of Labor in the Transformation from Ape to Man in 1896. He pointed out that man not only evolved from animals, but also transformed in the process of labor to transform nature. The transformation from ape to man is fundamentally different from the evolutionary process of ordinary animals. He believed that labor influenced the development of human thinking organs, labor organs, and language organs, and finally developed into a perfect modern human being. Because of man's ability to manufacture labor tools for labor, this determining factor is no longer biological but social. For this reason, the development of nature has made a great leap beyond nature itself into the realm of human society and its history. Yet this cumulative force, generation by generation, comes from acquired heredity. It can be said that for a long time after Darwin's theory of evolution and Engels' account, the theory of acquired heredity was used in explaining the biological mechanism of the creation of man by labor. The molecular evolution theory, on the other hand, holds that: apes are a species, and human beings are also a species, and the transformation process of the two should be consistent with the basic laws of biology, that is, selection, isolation, etc., in mutation, and labor is only a selection factor. Others believe that labor is not the main factor in determining man, and that the determining factor is the alteration of the genetic material of the hominids. Human beings can design for themselves higher, more rational and more perfect traits and modify the genetic nature of human beings according to the laws of movement of genetic material. HUMAN ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT The formation of human beings was the second great turning point in the development of events on earth; and the emergence of life from inorganic matter was the first great turning point. After the first major turning point, the evolution of various organisms was realized in the process of adapting to the environment through genetic mutation (natural selection), that is to say, through the adaptation of genetic elements to the environment. However, with the emergence of humans, it is no longer the case that genetic elements adapt to the environment ---- but that humans change the environment to suit their own genetic elements. Today, a third epochal turning point is approaching. With man's understanding of the structure and function of his genetic factors, it will soon be possible to do just that, change his genetic factors while modifying his environment. Human beings, and only human beings, can create the intended environment, what is today called culture. The reason for this is that only humans can imagine or represent things and ideas that do not exist in the reality of the here and now. Only human beings can laugh; only human beings know that they are going to die. Only human beings are eager to recognize the universe and its evolution, to understand their place in it and their future situation. Because of their unique ability to revolutionize their environment, human beings are able to cope well with their surroundings without undergoing physiological mutations. Living in the Arctic requires fur, living in a desert requires water, living in water requires fins; all of these can be solved through human-created culture, i.e., through new, non-biological pathways. Specifically, human culture includes pure science, institutions based on social science, tools based on natural science, morality religion, and art. Inspired intelligence is the result of genetic mutation (natural selection). Science develops from the accumulation of previous generations, purposeful experimentation, systems of cooperation and communication, inspiration and IQ, and purposeless production practices. Language originated in inspired intelligence, developed in productive practice, inspiration and intelligence, perfected and dissolved in science. Moral religion originated in inspired IQ, developed in productive practice, inspired IQ, and was annihilated in science. Art originated in inspired IQ, developed in inspired IQ, productive practice, perfected in inspired IQ, science. Since the birth of human beings, the first thing they faced was the problem of eating, and there were two ways for human beings to solve it: fruit-gathering industry and hunting industry. As a result of long-term practice, inspired IQ touch, there was an agricultural revolution, fruit-gathering industry evolved into planting, hunting industry evolved into animal husbandry, mankind entered the agricultural society. Immediately after eating, people produced on clothing, housing, with the demand, so the corresponding textile industry, residential construction and decoration industry, daily necessities (including household appliances - towels and paper - tables and chairs, etc.) manufacturing industry appeared in human society. They are collectively called industries. Industry is actually equal to "handicraft + science". Ancient China can only stay in the stage of agricultural civilization and failed to develop handicrafts into industry is because they lacked the scientific spirit developed in ancient Greece. Science is not equal to technology, which is the pillar of handicrafts. What was developed in ancient China was technology, not science. Science requires us to know the "so and so" of things, while technology only requires us to know the "so and so" of things. Therefore, technology only needs us after a long period of practice, groping can always be summarized. But science is different, science not only need to practice, but also need us to have a kind of spirit ---- spirit of knowledge, know the inner cause of things, rather than only know the spirit of the external phenomenon. Then man creates a demand for services, which corresponds to the following industries: Demand Industry Demand Industry Life Health Medical Sex Marriage/lovers/prostitution Line ---- Personally going from one point to another Transportation Line ---- Not moving himself, but getting in touch with the other point through some kind of medium Networking Communication Operation Industry Beauty Art Nature and Humanities Tourism Human Body Beauty Beauty Audition/Performance Appearance Beauty Hairdressing/Clothing Design Searching for Truth Scientific Research Organizations Learning Truth Educational Industries The arts include literature, painting, music, dance, sculpture, sports, games, film and television. Whether it is industry, agriculture, or services, they all need an exchange of products/services within and among themselves to achieve the efficacy of utilizing their respective strengths and meeting their multifaceted needs, and thus commerce (trade) was born. Any industry needs plant roads, so the construction industry (including commercial buildings, road and bridge construction, etc.) appears necessary; any industry needs tools and equipment, so a specialized production sector - machinery and equipment manufacturing industry (including network communications equipment, transportation equipment, production equipment, power equipment, office equipment, safety and health equipment, etc.) was born; any industry needs electricity, oil, coal, so the energy industry was born; the source of the industry are traced back to mineral extraction, which provides the most primitive raw materials (wood, metal, stone, earth, water). It can be said that business, construction, machinery, energy, mining and metallurgy are all support industries for agriculture, industry and services.
