The following is a list of interesting sites on human evolution:

  • Talk Origins - A site by dedicated to discussion of human evolution vs. creationism. Has an excellent (non-biased) FAQ section on most all prominent hominid fossils, and an up to date outline of human evolution.
    Find it at: http://www.talk.origins.org/faqs
  • Institute of Human Origins - Another excellent site for evolution links!
    Find it at: http://www.asu.edu/clas/iho
  • Aquatic Ape Theory, a paleo-ring site owned by Marcel Williams provides links to research papers, and other AAT sites
    Find it at: http://www.flash.net/~hydra9/aquape.html

Here are some other interesting links, worth a look at:
