Becoming Human: Paleoanthropology, Evolution and Human Origins
The Institute of Human Origins' (IHO) interactive online documentary, glossary and other resources on human evolutionary history. IHO conducts, interprets and publicizes scientific research on the human career. IHO’s unique approach brings together scientists from diverse disciplines to develop integrated, bio-behavioral investigations of human evolution. Through research, education, and the sponsorship of scholarly interaction, IHO advances scientific understanding of our origins and its contemporary relevance. Combining interdisciplinary expertise and targeted funding, IHO fosters the pursuit of integrated solutions to the most important questions regarding the course, cause and timing of events in human evolution.
Chasseur de la Préhistoire. L'Homme de Tautavel il y a 450 000 ans.
The Arago cave (or "Caune", as it is also called) is one of the largest karstic caves in the southern Corbières region. The cave is located high up, overlooking the Tautavel Valley, and offering an unparalleled view of the surroundings. This observation post must have been ideal for prehistoric hunters, who could thus watch the movements of game. In addition, the Verdouble, flowing at the foot of the cliff, was a watering place where animals came to drink - thus offering an obvious advantage to the people of Tautavel. Near the former entrance to the cave, a path provided easy access to another hunting area: the plateau, located above the cave.
ETSS.net - Evolutionary Theories in the Social Sciences
Our mission is to serve as the premier information site for scholars interested in evolutionary thought in the social sciences.
Evolution of Evolution - 150 Years of Darwin's "On the Origin of Species"
The National Science Foundation created this resource with an excellent overview of evolutionary theory over the last 150 years. This online exhibit features a timeline of events, videos, images, and essays by scientists, such as Tim White and Ken Weiss. The online exhibit covers these areas of evolutionary science: Anthropology, Geosciences, Astronomy, Charles Darwin, Biology, and Polar Sciences.
Human Evolution: The fossil evidence in 3D
Welcome to the UCSB online 3D gallery of modern primate relatives and fossil ancestors of humans. This gallery contains five modern primate crania, and five fossil crania. The crania can be rotated 360 degrees. Each cranium is accompanied by a short description of its relevance to human evolution, and a site map.

TalkOrigins Archive: Exploring the Creation/Evolution Controversy
Talk.origins is a Usenet newsgroup devoted to the discussion and debate of biological and physical origins. Most discussions in the newsgroup center on the creation/evolution controversy, but other topics of discussion include the origin of life, geology, biology, catastrophism, cosmology and theology. The TalkOrigins Archive is a collection of articles and essays, most of which have appeared in talk.origins at one time or another. The primary reason for this archive's existence is to provide mainstream scientific responses to the many frequently asked questions (FAQs) that appear in the talk.origins newsgroup and the frequently rebutted assertions of those advocating intelligent design or other creationist pseudosciences.
The Human Origins Program at the Smithsonian Institution
The Human Origins Program at the Smithsonian is dedicated to understanding the biological and cultural foundations of human life. Our two objectives follow the fundamental goals of the Smithsonian Institution: to advance scientific knowledge through continuing cutting-edge research, and to create the opportunity for public access to this knowledge. We are committed to furthering scientific knowledge about the evolutionary origin of human beings, including our species' relationship and interactions with the natural world. Our ongoing fieldwork and new projects in Africa, Asia, and Europe investigate clues and accumulate precise data about early human adaptation, evolution, and environmental change
The Sunghir Archaeological Site
The Sunghir archaeological site is situated near of Vladimir city, 192 km from Moscow (56°11" NL and 40°30" EL). The settlement was discovered in 1955. For 16 field seasons (1957-1977) an expedition under supervision of Otto N. Bader revealed 4500 m2 of the site area. Age of the settlement is defined from the disposal of the cultural layer in the so called Bryansk soil, connected with the corresponding interstadial of Valdai Ice age of Late Pleistocene. One of the first radiocarbon dates, obtained from collagen of reindeer bones in Groningen laboratory gives absolute age of 24430+/- 400 years ago (Gro 5446) and from charcoal - 25500+/- 200 years ago (Gro 5425).
