The Reason Why There Was No First Human

Biological Evolution

We've all heard some version of "If humans evolved from monkeys/apes, how come there are still monkeys/apes?"

Inspired by Richard Dawkins's The Magic of Reality, PBS produced a short video--an excellent teaching tool--which explains why there was no first human.  It is on YouTube so it is likely to be preceded by a short advert.

The video is nicely done and includes many of the major species along the way, from way back to the present.
