Dr. Robert Leclerc, HS teacher. I'm interested in obtaining photos of early to recent human ancestors to do a morph from one to the other, from A. arafensis onward. I am looking for images (bmp?) which show the size and shape differences as evolution progressed. The morphing would show evolution occurring slowly over many generations. I would be happy to share my results. Any leads as to where to obtain such images? Please reply to DocLeclerc@hotmail.com
I'm 11 years old and have what might be a silly question. I've always wondered why humans have a large, pointy nose and great apes like chimps, orangutans and gorillas have hardly any nose at all? When did the nose evolve?

The nose evolved, when men started to marry women, when they married they inherited mother in laws, they had a gene that no one else had, it was called noseyness, they eventually evolved this into what we know today as the nose, it was evolved in such a way that they could stick it into any situation, this is how it came about.
