Human Evolution and Vestigial Organs

Two forms of Homo erectus have been identified. The cranial capacity of form B was 750-1100 cc and had a domed cranium to accommodate the large brain. Form D had a height of around 140 cm and was characterized by heavily built teeth and muscles. Darwin's theory of natural selection explains how the giraffe's neck evolved over numerous generations to adapt to their environment.
