First things first: Sorry for my English, please let me know any mistake (dead links, grammar...) you can find here and you'll make me a happy man.
If you are in a hurry or just don't want to read my commentaries switch to the outline version.
In order to make the navigation easier for you, I have sorted out the 100 selected links in six groups: nou!New links added in the last review.
Human evolution::
*Abotech - CyberShelter for Primitive Living Skillsnou!
The name of the site gives us some clues about its contents. Fire marking, musical instruments, Indian bow-making and shelter construction are some of the topics you can find. Besides there is a chat "Cave" about primitive living skills.
*American Museum of Natural History - Electronic Newspaper
The main items are the news and a page where you will find 12 fossils skulls. If you click on any of them you will get a little information and a 3-D exhibit, if you have the Shockwave plug-in.
*Ant 304/Ary 301 - Introduction to Archaeology
The only available items on the NET are some multiple choice tests. Useful if you just want to test your knowledge.
*Anth1 - Anthropologynou!
The University of Missouri has updated its winter of 97 course. Now the contents of the site are organized in three parts: syllabus, quizzes and links. The first one, offers you no texts of its own, but selected ones from different places. While the the last one, gives you the chance of downloading slide shows in Microsoft Power Point format.
*Anthropology 102: Human origins and culture
A course by the University of Illinois. The most interesting pages are the Lectures, good  summaries as usual, and the links.
*Anthropology 102: Origins of Humans and Culture
Genetics, primate evolution, human evolution, archaeology and even a bit of history at the end. The outlines are very good, well organized and with lots of information. The list of links is great. Summing up, a place where you must go.
*Anthropology 105: Humans Origins and Prehistory
These pages belong to a course by Jeanne Sept, that seeks to understand human uniquenes, and when and where humans first began to behave like "odd animals". If you go to the syllabus yo will find 26 lectures, just outlines, that will help you to think critically.
*Anthropology 233 - Human evolution
A brief list of data for every known hominid (sites, brain size, body size...) and good images to understand the anatomy of bipedalism.
*Anthropology 301 - Introduction to Physical Anthropology
Lectures, not just outlines, on every subject you can imagine (anthropology and religion, reproduction, evolution, ecology, anatomy, geology, primate behavior, mental and physical evolution...). We would need a long list of adjectives to speak about this place.
Claud A. Bramblett offers you a very good manual that you have to print, since reading it on your screen is almost impossible.
*Anthropology 384 - Anthropology Internet Resources
Not only does Dr. Skelton write on paleoanthropology but he also offers us a course on Internet resources. Here you'll become familiar with many of the Internet resources specific to anthropology: www sites, mailing lists, newsgroups, databases, library catalogs...
*Anthropology 1101 - Human origins Website
A new course (University of Minnesota), and again a lot of pages which cover two fields: physical anthropology and archeology. The way it is built makes it very useful for people taking the course but a bit hard for people who are just surfing the net. Some topics are very interesting, but you can't read the whole thing as a book.
If you feel like enjoying yourself go the Name that skull activity.
*Anthropology in the News
How many hours have you spend looking for news on our favourite subject? From now on, you will waste neither time nor money. The Anthropology Department of the Texas A&M University will do this task for you.
In this website you'll find lots of links to news stories published on the web by ABC, BBC, CNN, USA Today, Science... Great and very useful.
*Archaeological excavations at Boxgrove
A web about the Boxgrove man and the Homo heidelbergensis in general. Interesting if you want to know everything about the excavations at Boxgrove.
*Area de Prehistòria - Universitat Rovira i Virgili
Still under construction. The contents are written by the scientists who are working at Atapuerca
*ASM101 - Human Origins and the Development of Culture
Until now we have spoken about Webs, outlines, books... the right word for this place is encyclopedia, since you will find here lots and lots of information. Very useful and enjoyable. No excuses, you must pay a visit... a very long one.
*Atapuerca - Grupo de Paleontología humana - Universidad Complutense
If you are interested on the excavations which led to the discovery of Homo antecessor that's the right place to go.
*Bienvenido a la Sierra de Atapuerca
This website, still under construction , gives you some general information about the sites, the research topics, the research team and the Homo antecessor.
*Biological Anthropology
Although this website is a guide specifically designed to help you in the reading and understanding of the book by Boaz and Almquist, you can visit it and enjoy it, since you can answer its online quizzes and discover good links for every chapter. 
*Department of Anthropology - College at Oneonta
Just a set of anthropology links (not to websites, but to choosen items like differences in pelvic anatomy) are offered by the State University of New York. However they can be useful if you want a short and quick information.
*Dr. Bindon's ANT 101
A thick book again which a very considerable amount of information and images. But what makes it shine over most of the other places is the incredible list of links it offers. Just a regret, after finding it I realized that this page was almost useless.
Go there and spend a long and good time.
*L'espai humà
Although this website, aimed to secondary school students, is only available in catalan, you'll discover that quite a lot of its items are not written in this language, but are just linked to American and French sites.
*Evolution: from apes to human
A few words and a picture about every known hominid.
*The Fossil Evidence for Human Evolution in China
Everything which has been discovered, analyzed or studied since 1929 is here, if you don't believe me, go to the Picture Gallery, or the maps... or the timeline. After reading it, you'll know everything about China's role in the emergence of humankind.
*Gelati! Un cas per a cibertafaners
These pages are only in Catalan, not even a Spanish translation is available.
*The Genesis of Man
A project by a group of teenagers. That makes this place very valuable for teachers and students since can help both to see a way of working. With a language very easy to understand and without any pretension of expert knowledge, they give you a good amount of information about the Sterkfontein Caves, Mrs. Ples and Little Food.
*Gigantopithecus blacki
Interested in the owner of the dragon's teeth? Then visit it and you will know everything (appearance, geographical distribution, locomotion, diet and even the myths) related to the Gigantopithecus blacki, a 9 feet tall primate.
*Global Access to Educational Resources
In this Cibrary for Middle School and Beyond you'll find a lot of links on different items: art, music... but the ones that interest us are two, prehistory and resources for teachers. 
*Guided tours at the Hunterian Museum - Glasgow 
After Reading the title you know what this web is about. You will not probably learn lots of new things but you'll have a good time walking around... without leaving your chair.
*Hominid Evolution - from Australopithecus to Cro-Magnon
Interesting as a general overview which covers from early primates to Homo sapiens. Citations and bibliography available.
*Homo sapiens scienc
Why is mankind so capable in his technology and so inept in his culture? ... It is time to reject all social dogma, especially in our schools... Surprised at reading these sentences in a physical anthropology place? To tell the truth, besides topics you expect to find, you will also see a bit of philosophy. A good place to get some ideas to raise a lively discussion.
*How Humans Evolved
Not just an introduction to the study of biological anthropology, but also a web with a good amount of whys and wherefores, and that means that you will learn some facts as usual, but you will also learn why everything happened.
*Human Antiquity Update
Its authors define this website as an Electronic Newsletter Updating Information and I can't think about a better definition. If you want an updated edition of the book Human antiquity pay a visit every now an then.
*Human evolution - Anthropology 365
A course with three main subjects: the fossil record, the methods and theories of evolutionary analysis and the evolution of human anatomy and culture; an interesting set of items which makes these place a valuable one..
A good textbook (this time by Doctor Randall R. Skelton) that you have to print and keep at hand.
*Human Evolution Resources from Mark Leney
News, annotated links, images, teaching & reading materials, bibliography... Only the design is a bit under the general level. But since substance is more important than form (or at least it was, before the design era) you can qualify it as excellent.
*Human Evolution Software - UCSB
A multimedia guide to the fossil record by P.L. Walker and E.H. Hagen from the University of California. You can either buy The CD-ROM Professional Edition or watch the internet version which requires the Shockwave plugin.
*Human Origins and Evolution in Africa
More outlines from an anthropological course, this time aimed to help you know human origins and evolution in Africa. Take a look at African Prehistory and Prehistoric Diet.
*Human Prehistory: An Exhibition
A kind of guided tour as the web is organized in six rooms. Very simple. Some images could be interesting and useful.
*Humb 1060 - The History of Man: Human Evolution
A good set of lectures not only on human evolution but also on general biology that can help us to understand our place in nature.
*In Search of Human Origins
Anyone would look forward to a lecture by Donald Johanson, and in spite of being just three text pages you'll feel that way reading these transcripts.
*Institute of Human Origins
The web of this Institute, founded by Dr. Donald J. Johanson is mainly dedicated to his discoveries (Lucy, the Hadar jaw...) and its activities.
*Into the World of Anthropology
A very good and useful handbook that introduces you into the world of anthropology. Ideal as an introduction if you don't know anything about the subject. And if you are not a beginner, try the challenging activities and enjoy yourself.
*An  Introductory Overview of Human Evolution
Every known hominid is available here. The contents are good and besides, you are offered a glossary, a bibliography, a chat room and a board room.
*Introduction to stoneworking
An interesting subject that can help you understand how our ancestors lived. Lots of information and images. 
*Kamaila's Cyberanthropology Page
The timelines and some of the contents (A long time ago we all lived in Africa, The Great Chain of Being and Evolutionary Theory), are worth the visit
*The Long Foreground: Human Prehistory
A good textbook again. If you can't spend time enough to read it carefully, go at least to the Human Physical Characteristics, you'll learn a lot of things.
*The Lucy Test
Try to evaluate some of the fossil evidence for Australopithecus afarensis and your knowledge, and have a very good time. A perfect mix of education and entertainment.
*McGraw-Hill Anthropology Newsletters
All the discoveries that have been added to the book Physical Anthropology are here, updated once or twice a year. A short list of briefly annotated links is also available.
*Mrs. Ples
A little poor, a few data about Mrs. Ples and that's all folks!
*Ms Hos-McGrane's Social Studies Class
A good set of annotated links on human evolution. 
*National Center for Science Education
The National Center wants to promote between teachers evolution against creationism and in order to achieve its goal offers you bibliography, reports, articles and a newsletter (Missing Link)
*Neanderthal Heaven
Very interesting as reading material for young teenagers, since it is an informative, simple and enjoyable website. Meet the Neanderthals and enjoy the visit.
*Neanderthal Museum
In addition to the guided tour around the six rooms of the Museum, you will be able to learn about the Educational Programs, the Holiday Activities and the shop, where you can buy a game that will help you in the understanding of the life and environment of the Neanderthaler.
*Neandertals: A Cyber Perspective
If Neanderthal Heaven, can be classified as a beginner's level; this one can be considered as an intermediate one. You'll find here a good amount of information about the neanderthals (tools, diet, language, society, art, morphology...) and an impressive set of high quality images.
This web has been translated into Spanish, so if you understand this language better than English you can go to the spanish version .
*NM's Creative Impulse - Prehistory
Hugue, massive, vast, enormous... no list of adjectives can be as long as the list of links that you can find here. Why search the net if Nancy B. Mautz has done it for you before?
*Origins of Humankind 
Imagine a scientific publication easy to read and understand where you can find news, pictures, links, books... whatever you can imagine related to evolution. Don't search anymore you have found it.
*Outpost: Humans Origins
A wonderful design is the first thing that will catch you. Afterwards you will learn some interesting things looking over the three main items: Field Journal, Interpretation Station, and Toolkit.
A list of National Geographic magazines where your can find articles on our subject and a set of class activities are offered too.
*PaleoAnthropology: A Short Journey Through Time
A good starting place if you want to spend not too much time (not even an hour), but you are looking for good, easy reading and intelligible information.
*The Skeletal Explorer Workshop
A wonderful set of images, the right place to go wherever you need a picture of a fossil, a primate skeleton or a modern human one (new born, child or adult).
*The Talk.Origins Archive
Just great! Everything at the reach of your hand: evolution, genetics, fossils, hominids, pictures, drawings, jokes, creationism versus evolution, FAQs, links... Don't waste any time reading this and go there, quickly!
*Talk.Science - Exploring the Creation/Evolution Controversy
In some countries like the USA, creationists and evolutionists have always been at war. No doubt you know one side's reasons but not the creationists motives, here you can fill this gap. If you call on it, you will find some good jokes about evolutionism and a few items of scientific interest.
*UCSB Anthropologynou!
Two items stand out in this website: the anthropology web links page and the glossary. The last one, provides searchable definitions for any term in each subdiscipline of anthropology.
*Universitat de Barcelona - Unitat de Paleo-etologia homínida
A web on paleo-ethology, a science which tries to discover our ancestors behaviour.
*WWW Virtual Library: Anthropology
A good set of items and resources related to biophysical and cultural anthropology: education, job oportunities, journals, organizations... Look the annotated list of links over.
If you go to the site map you will find some tutorials that can help you in building your personal pages.
*Los Yacimientos de la Sierra  de Atapuercanou!
To help you in getting there is the main goal of this page, where you can also find some anthropological information about this famous archaelogical site. 
Human evolution magazines & news:

General evolution:
A Science Odyssey
Resources for educators (activities, databanks, stories, overviews...). Pay a visit to the Human Evolution activity (requires Shockwave).
Access Excellence
A Place in Cyberspace fot Biology Teaching and Learning, that's the way they introduce themselves, and the best one to describe this website. I can't but list some of its items: news, teaching resources, activities exchange, online projects, seminars... Adding up, heaven in Earth, for biologists and teachers, of course.
ArchNet
An incredible list that gives you access to lots of archaelogical resources available on the net. Hundreds of sites categorized by geographic region and subject.
BorNet: Red Educativa sobre Ciencias de la Naturaleza
A good place where you can find lots of things (news, essays, meetings, contests, educational products...) that could be useful in a biology class... but in Spanish.
Evolution
Plenty of information on the explanations about evolution. From the ancient creation myths to Darwin's theory.
Evolution Update
This website specifically aimed at students and teachers of biology, offers you a biweekly updated list of news on evolutionary biology selected from very well known periodicals such as American Scientist, National Geographic, Nature, Science, Science News and Scientific American.
Evolution, Ecology and Behaviornou!
This site build by Robert P.Gendron, professor of the Biology Department, at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, is the ideal one for anybody interested in improving his knowledge in evolution.
A well organized syllabus with abstracts of the main concepts and lots of annotated links for all of them. A map of the site to help your surfing. Enjoyable zoological descriptions that have as main characters the Caminalcules and the Snouters, product of an alternate evolution and fictitious, of course! Software for teaching evolution and ecology. Lab exercices... you better see for yourself.
Exploratorium de San Francisco
One thousand pages where you can find information about exhibitions, resources for the class, publications... Just a regret, a lot about dinosaurs but almost nothing about hominids.
Field Museum of Natural History - Chicago 
Wonderful on-line exhibitions, visit them and look for the class resourses too.
Galaxy - Weekly Reader
More educational resources. You can find almost everything in these pages. Use the Navigation Station and the Galaxy Site Map to find your way.
Museums Hotlist
A good list of natural and science museums. A right place to start a scientific trip.
Nearctica
Created as a gateway to the natural world of North America can actually be used as a guide-book to everything related to biology and nature. Genetics, animal behaviour, animal and human evolution, sistematics and philogeny... Annotated links to everything and everywhere. Just perfect.
Ray Troll's FinArt - Evolution
A short but good and funny site about the whole evolution, from cell to man. You even can see the change in an animated gif.
Skullduggery
A good set of educational kits to buy, and if you can't afford it, pay at least a visit to the lesson plans and download them, you'll find them very useful. In case you are interested in sharing your own that's the right place too. 
University of California Museum of Paleontology
Besides the on-line exhibitions you'll find useful information about some great scientists (Darwin, Lamarck, Cuvier, Wegener...) and their theories. 
Newsgroups & Mailing Lists:
Dinosaur Mailing List
Mailing list where you can find every month hundreds of news, comments and opinions. Although is mainly devoted to dinosaurs, you will be able to discover every now and then, pieces of information about human evolution... But use the search function if you want to do it quickly and properly.
Evolutionary Theory
An evolutionary theory mailing list and an evolutionary theory mailing list digest are available if you are subscribed. They offer you a chat room too.
Human Science at Oxford
Primarily intended as a posting system to Mark Leney's students, is now a vehicle which provides news on human evolution to everybody.
Paleoanthro Lists
These mailing lists are designed for the discussion of paleoanthropology, physical anthropology, prehistoric archaeology and human and non-human primate evolution. But are not open since you have to apply for membership.
Nevertheless, I advise you to visit them because you'll find a list of the member's websites as well as news and resource links.
Sci.anthropology.paleo
Lively discussions, opinions, theories that will surprise you. A bit heavy, but interesting for nosey people or people very interested in human evolution.
...And a bit of fun:
El patrimonio genético
Not a website but a magazine article by Quim Monzó. If you can read Spanish you'll enjoy the Catalan writer's irony.
Science made stupid 
Tom Weller, its author, was a Hugo Award winner in 1986 for the book. If you can't get it... do it any way! or, if nothing else, go to this website. One of the most hilarious places you could find.
