In the 19th century archeologists discovered the remains of extinct , highly developed primates called Dryopithecinae , or tree apes . Charles Darwin , the great English naturalist , and his followers analysed the evolution of the animal world over the course of many centuries and used these discoveries to scientifically prove the biological relationship between man and the animal world , as well as man’s evolution from the highly developed tossil apes . The proof of this theory was to be found in the data provided by anatomy , embryology , paleontology and , specifically , by the basic similarity of skel etal structure , brain development and the composition of the blood of modern man and the anthropoid apes . The develop ment of modern science has proved the validity of this mate rialist theory magnificently .

Theory of Scientific Communism
Political economy is closely connected with the third constituent part of Marxism – the teaching on communism . Political economy shows that in the machine stage of its history capitalism develops social production which no longer corresponds to the private mode of appropriating the products . Capitalism is outliving itself and is gradually becoming a hindrance to social development , as did the slave and feudal systems in their time . Capitalism has to be replaced by a communist system which corresponds to the social nature of production .
On the basis of their analysis of capitalist society Marx and Engels discovered that building a new society is primarily in the interests of the proletariat which must , in one way or another , depending on concrete historical condi tions , overthrow the rule of the bourgeoisie and establish a dictatorship of the proletariat . With the aid of the dictator ship of the proletariat the working class will replace the private form of ownership of the means of production by a social form of ownership and , with the support of the broad masses of working people , will gradually build a communist society . The true history of mankind will begin precisely with the building of a communist society because only then will man be able completely to satisfy his material and spiritual needs . In communist society all people will be harmoniously developed and the differences between mental and manual labour , between town and country , etc. , will be eliminated .
