The Evolution of Man page has excerpts from this chart that clearly show the smooth development in time, morphology, brain size, and location from Ardipithecus ramidus to us.Р”Р„ more graphical human evolution timeline chartР’В is at the bottom of this page, though it's not as updated as the list that follows. This page is reference information for the Evolution of Man page. The smooth continuity of the human evolution timeline in physical transformation and location is-unfortunately for those who wish humans had not evolved-a thing of beauty.
