Religious dogmatism persist when people remain ignorant of their own history, of their own origins. Religionists, especially Young Earth Creationists, who believe that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old have their own versions of events.

However, through the study of fossils, continental drift and our very own DNA, science tells us a different story: human evolution.

Find out how human beings evolved from earlier life forms on Earth for over 4.4 billion years, from single-celled organisms to the diverse multitude of species alive today. This article comes with a diagram of the evolutionary Tree of Life.
