Myths about Human Evolution

Did Charles Darwin renounce his theory of human evolution at the end of his life? Did ancient humans encounter dinosaurs? Is it true that Russia is the cradle of humanity, and who is the yeti — is he one of... our ancestors lost in the ages? Although paleoanthropology — the science of human evolution — is experiencing a remarkable flourishing, the origin of humans is still surrounded by many myths. These include anti-evolution theories, legends spawned by mass culture, and quasi-scientific concepts that circulate among educated and well-read people.
Want to know how it all was "really"? Alexander Sokolov, the editor-in-chief of the Anthropogenesis.ru portal, has collected a whole collection of such myths and checked how valid they are.
