Abstract

This paper suggests some observations about a Darwinian Anthropology laid out as of available scientific knowledge. For this purpose, it points at human genome study significance to base a second-degree philosophical reflection about human being nature, underlining great similarity between Homo sapiens and close evolutionary species. Also, using mitochondrial ADN and Y chromosome study, focuses the evolutionary coalescence principle among human beings, because of whom is possible to support that all of them are consanguineous members of the same lineage. Finally, it proposes certain inferences showing analogy between some particular mythos and current scientific logos.
