Apes: from Cave to Computer

1999
Apes: from Cave to Computer is a journey through the evolution of man in Africa. As our title implies, we take an in-depth look at the technological advances of man through the ages, as well as the ways in which modern man has grown from his predecessors. Through this section, we hope to educate people and allow them to understand how amazing and complex the inventions of today actually are. We also explore the world of Paleontology, with a section on the extraction and analysis of fossils, that ends off in a quiz for all those interested in discovering their hidden talents regarding excavation. This section of our site aims to teach people a bit more about the fascinating world of paleontology...and what an art it is! We provide a forum for debate regarding the theory of evolution, in the form of a message board. By including this section in our site, we aim to educate people about differences in opinion. We also provide a section listing many important findings in Africa. It focuses on five countries, and it's goal is to make information about discoveries easily availible, as well as to allow the world to learn a little more about the "dark continent", and its important role in the world of natural history. Finally, we have a timeline that leads to information about the species of ape-men that lived in Africa, which we hope will be informative and useful.
