Sheridan College Thickman Faculty Lecture Series: From Many Came Few – Humanity’s Rise

Humanity arose from its roots approximately 325,000 years ago. At that time there were eight to nine Human species alive on the planet, interacting with each other and our early ancestors. Over a period of 300,000 years they all vanished, except for one group…us. In this examination of our past, we will investigate each human species as fossil record portray them, and we will attempt to determine why we are the only species of humanity to survive into the present.
