brief description about the human evolution
Dear student,
Human evolution is a prolonged process that the human ancestors went through before fully becoming the modern day humans. Scientists use fossil evidence to support this, stating that modern people share the same physical and behavioral characteristics as their primate ancestry.
Scientists argue that humans are literally primates because the modern humans share the same physical and genetic relations with the apes in Africa; meaning both apes and humans share the same ancestry. The early human ancestors lived in Africa about 6 million years ago where the evolution majorly took place.
Fossils discovered in Africa indicate that humans acquired various traits like bipedalism (the ability to walk upright and on two legs), language and the ability to use and make complex tools here. Other abilities, like art and cultural diversity came on later as they migrated to other parts of the world, like Europe, America, and Australia. These fossils also show different species of the human ancestry at different stages of evolution with the homo sapiens being the modern day man.
Thank you ;)
