Welcome to Embryology: The Evidence for Evolution.
Why are we here? and How did we get here? There are hardly any other more intriguing questions we face. In the past our ancestors tried to answer these questions with limited knowledge of the universe. But, with modern society's advances in the sciences we can attempt to answer those questions more convincingly.
"Why are we here?" is a question we all must answer individually, we have the power to make our existence whatever we want it to be through hard work and good ethics.
"How did we get here?" is a question which science has set out to answer. By combining the knowledge from many fields in science (Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, etc) we come closer to an answer. Our history (in a nutshell) began with the Big Bang, then came the formation of the Solar System, then the first organisms on Earth were formed in the "primordial soup" and finally we evolved gradually into the intellegent, sentient beings we are today. Our curiosity will lead us to ask questions such as "what happened before the Big Bang?" and the exiting part is that science is already working on figuring that out and we can all help in the search of an answer.
This web-page was created to help explain a small part of the question "How did we get here?". The focus will be to present to you the evidence for evolution found through embryology. My hope is that you will be inspired to seek out more information about this topic after you have left here.
