You seem confused about what is meant by evolution and what is meant by speciation.

Scientist do not prove things, but they do support their claims with evidence.

What evidence links birds to mammals in evolution?

No evidence links birds to mammals in evolution. However, there is evidence that birds evolved from dinosaurs. In fact, some biologists call birds "living dinosaurs".Birds have a similar hip structure to one class of dinosaurs, the ornithischians, but are actually more closely related to "lizard-hipped" or Saurischian dinosaurs, an order which includes the theropods such as Tyrannosaurus rex. It is now known from fossil evidence that some theropods had feathers, not only for warmth but also for display. They would have looked remarkably like birds, apart from the inability to fly.The lines that led to mammals and dinosaurs separated about 325 million years ago with actual mammals and dinosaurs appearing at roughly the same time about 235 million years ago. The first birds evolved from dinosaurs about 220 million years ago.


When did humans first humans arrive?

The first human was Adam who arrived in the earth in the soil. God made him tall as a normal house in the soil. __ The history of human evolution dates back abt a million years, possibly a bit more. When and where is a topic of much discussion because we are just now discovering more and more information. It's hard to piece together the origins because no one was around writing about it. Traditional thought was humans evolved in Africa about 1 million years ago. But recent discoveries seem to indicate there may have been one or two other areas that humans evolved separately. Some interesting discoveries in Georgia (country in Europe, not the State in US) date some remains to about 1.8 million years ago.


Where is early man believed to have originated?

The bible states that man originated in the Garden of Eden. That takes faith to believe.Scientific evidence traces the evolution of mankind to its current state, homo sapiens, somewhere in Africa sometime around 2 million years ago.Question if it is traced back to Africa how come they haven't found any fossils that are the in between stage of the evolution of man.

What is the evolution of man?

Man has evolved from earlier hominins over a period of around 7 million years. The earliest known hominins in turn had the same ancestors as other primates, with which we share most of our DNA.Sahelanthropus tchadensis, dated to around 7-6 million years ago, may be the earliest hominin species, thus our oldest human-like ancestors. Various other hominin species have been identified, and the consensus of scientists is that our species, Homo sapiens, is directly descended from Homo erectus.


Why do scientists think mankind came from Africa- A 47 million year old fossil from Germany says otherwise- Did we all come from Europe?

With the discovery of the "missing link" in Germany does indicate that we came from Europe instead of Africa.
