Weegy: May I have the choices? User: When do paleoanthropologists believe that human culture began? Weegy: Secular paleontologists assert that hominids began evolving from other primates starting around 8 million to 6 million years ago. [ Evidence of hominid activity between 8 and 2.5 million years ago usually only consists of bone remains available for study. Because of this very incomplete picture of the time period from the fossil record, various aspects of physical anthropology (osteometry, functional anatomy, evolutionary framework) are essential to explain evolution during these first millions of years. Evolution during this time is considered as the result of natural forces only.Creation paleontologists look to the Bible for insight into human history. The creation account in the book of Genesis tells us that humans and all land animals were created on the same day. This is in stark contrast to the assertions of evolutionary paleontology, which holds that hominids were evolving over millions of years and Homo sapiens only appearing a few hundred thousand years ago.[2]. The creation account also reveals that human beings are distinct from the animals and uniquely formed in the image of God. ] (More)
