Solution
Evolution:
Homo sapiens emerged as a unique species of the hominid family, which also includes great apes, as a result of the evolutionary process known as human evolution that took place within the evolutionary history of primates.
Fossils from Ardipithecus, one of the earliest known progenitors, date back more than 4.4 million years.
As many of our ancestors' fossil remains are rather hazy, the specifics of human evolution are still up for discussion.
