Christianity and Evolution

who was the first human?

and why where they the one to be given spiritual awakening above all other creatures?

these are transitional crania from the first hominin to homo sapiens. speices change slowly over time. "speices" itself is simply a label to descride two signifacatly mophologically and biologically diverget creatures. It is a mode of compairson not absolute catigory. between the name labels we have given these skulls is a grediant of transition.

why would God use such a violent mechonism?

Evolution is a often times violent process. change in a spieces dna is caused by a selectlive pressure for one trait over another. dna which is "less fit" for an environment is fogoten to time, either through the death of that creature, or through its inabillity to reproduce / pass on its dna to next generation. in short, the mechenism of evolution is death.
