   Evidence from primate field studies suggests that the hominin path depends on our heritage as apes: inefficient quadrupeds with grasping hands, orthograde posture and digestive systems that require high-quality foods.

   Jan 19, 2017 · The consequences of human-induced evolution for human societies are most obvious when the evolving organisms provide direct benefits as friends (e.g. hunting/harvesting and domestication) or direct costs as enemies (e.g. weeds/pests/pathogens, invasive species and emerging diseases).

   But the Chad discovery substantially extended the geographic range of early hominins and reminds us that important events in human evolution (e.g., speciation, extinction) may have been taking place well away from the very small (relative to the size of the African continent) regions sampled by the existing early hominin sites.

   Oct 18, 2024 · Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the biological and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years.

   How can we understand human evolution?

   • However, if anything has been learnt from the past, it is that our understanding of human evolution can only occur by combining evidence from multiple fields of study. This way, new theories can be developed and then tested with evidence.

   Where did humans first evolve?

   • Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa. Early humans first migrated out of Africa into Asia probably between 2 million and 1.8 million years ago.

   What is human evolution?

   • Human evolution refers to the natural process involved in the evolutionary history of all members of the human clade (consisting of Homo and other members of the human tribe, Hominini, after the split from chimpanzees and bonobos). Members of the human clade are referred to as hominins.

   What can archeologists learn from ancient humans?

   • By studying this type of evidence, archeologists can understand how early humans made and used tools and lived in their environments. Humans are primates. Physical and genetic similarities show that the modern human species, Homo sapiens, are most closely related to a group of primate species, the apes.

   How has human evolution changed over the past 6–7 million years?

   • The increasing theoretical and practical complexity and the abundance of new data have overturned a number of simple scenarios of human evolution, leaving a far more multifaceted understanding of the past 6–7 million years of the human story. This aspect has had a great impact on the key questions in human evolution.

   Where are human fossils found?

   • Since the initial discovery of a fossil modern human in 1822–1823 in Goat’s Hole Cave in Wales, fossil evidence of H. sapiens has been recovered from sites on all continents except Antarctica. Many H. sapiens fossils are burials, so the fossil evidence is abundant and generally in good condition.
