Artistic representations of ancient humans often show large men with bulging muscles – but our ancestors were actually smaller than us, in both height and body mass.
When we
look at our evolutionary ancestors, we are twice as big as they were. But there is one thing that about this –
evolution does not make us bigger, but we are comparing us to beings that are
smaller than us. They are only what evolutionist call ape men.
An article
in New Scientist tells this about man and our evolution.
As someone
who writes a lot about human evolution and archaeology, I’ve seen a great many
artists’ impressions of prehistoric people. Some are remarkably believable,
closely tied to scientific findings as much as possible. Others, not so much. I
twitch every time I see a reconstruction of an African or tropical hominin with
northern-European-style pale skin, and the twitches escalate whenever I see
hairless hominins wandering around naked in temperate regions like Britain. Put
something on or you’ll die.
