What’s real in the former vestiges of primitive man?
Keywords:
Primitive man, Missing Link, Archaeology, Evolutionism, ApeAbstract
This article seeks to trace a historical-critical overview on the various
scientific breakthroughs that claim to have found archaeological findings proving the past existence of primitive man. That search was commonly known by the nomenclature “the search for the missing link,” it being the highest possible argument to be provided by archeology, seeking corroboration of the original theory of evolution of Charles Darwin. The article aims to analyze whether the evidence presented can be considered conclusive or if there was a need to continue the search for such evidence.
