Résumé

The reception and development of Darwin’s ideas have displaced mankind from the central place in the Cosmos, becoming no more than another evolved animal. This work offers a criticalscientific critique of the dominant ideas in the field of scientific research and debate into the origins of Man. By means of an interdisciplinary analysis (science, philosophy, and theology) of the scientifically proven facts, it is concluded that specimens classified in the genus Homo constitute a single species whose morphological evolution (hominization) is posterior to its humanization.
